    See Abraham and Issac and then get back to me about human sacrifice. Anyway, your reducito ad absurdium has shaky legs; even atheists know enough not to engage in abhorrent practices. You don't need the Divine to not be a complete monster. Basic moral principles are a priori.

    The key word in that sentence is "some."

    Asserting something doesn't make it so. Declaring something to be a "strawman" without deigning to back up the claim is poor manners.

    And how, exactly, does that contradict my point that "The entire Biblical argument against gay people rests on Leviticus"?

    I think humility is extremely important when asking about God and His will. As I said, God is, by definition, infinite and unknowable. Take a look at what he had to say to Job and get back to me. Anyone who claims to know His will in picayune detail is delusional. We should all be humble before the Lord, and maybe even attempt to fathom how little we are capable of understanding.

    Anyway, to bring this back to the hummasexual mafia and the destruction of America, every pastor I've ever heard denounce teh gayzorz has done so based on three sentences in Leviticus. Catholics have their own hierarchy and special rules which I am not going to make any attempt to summarize.

    This is not a country ruled by clergy, thank God, and this is not a nation founded on Catholicism. Or Presbyterianism. Or Baptism or Seventh Day Adventism or Mormonism or Pentecostalism or the Anglican Union or Lutheranism or Methodism. This is a nation of democracy and laws. If you have a case to make against Vermont, please feel free to make it.

    -edit-

    Some brilliant person just leaked the audition tapes for the latest National Organization for Marriage advert (at least they don't have "family" in their name). Watch them pretend to be victimized. It's more than amusing.

    Tape 1, tape 2, and the final advertisement.
