OT: The point is not what you or I want to legislate, but whether it is OK to legislate what is right or wrong. You now seem to be saying it is OK to legislate morality based on what the majority thinks (you say "most people can agree on this one"). So it sounds like it is the majority that gets to decide what is moral for everyone. Is that your position? Clearly, majorities have done some very immoral things in history. Do you see how you want it both ways? You only want to legislate your own morality or one in which "most people agree," but you don't want anyone legislating their morality on you. Of course, "most people" may not always agree with you on some issues and legislate the majority's morality on you. I'm sure you wouldn't like that. If you have another basis for legislating right and wrong, I would be glad to hear it.

O.T Bollinger. You ain't gonna win these arguments so you might just as well quit and save your breath. The religious right have an answer for everything. "Why did God allow this to happen?" They will answer, "God moves in a mysterious way." They say, "If I am attacked I will strike back! An eye for an eye!" They choose to forget the "Turn the other cheek," advice. I could go on for pages about biblical "opposites".

The bible is basically a nice book of fairy tales. Christ (who was a Rabbi (teacher) and probably a good man with good values which were TOTALLY the opposite of what you see in America today (and I do mean TOTALLY), who headed up a cult which took off. Just another case of right place at the right time. There have been hundreds of cults and most simply fade away but before this one could, the christians formed a very organized church. If you want to read horror stories get a few books on church history and their long list of dirty deeds over the centuries. If the church gave away every dime they have they couldn't wash the blood of their hands. Also, the American religious right have re-invented (a fake) Christ to suit their agenda. In the greediest country in the world they have to because the religious right, in no way, shape or form practise the teachings of the "real" Christ in thought or action.

Save your breath. I sometimes get "pulled in" by ignorance (which I shouldn't) but I've discovered it isn't worth it. Anyhow, in a few years the religious right will be nothing more than a memory consigned to the trash can of American history.
