Your post is a good example of vacillation.

Are you a literalist or not?

No it isn't. You are just tossing out the same tired old homosexual activist arguments in an effort to trip people up -- to distract everyone from obvious truths. Reality is not on your side. This isn't about interpreting the Bible. It's about social structure and human civilization.

Anyone can play the all-or-nothing or the let-me-redefine-you game. That's just silly. No one has suggested we impose all of the old Jewish law on Americans. That doesn't mean it has no moral truth to offer civilization. Are you suggesting we impose all the ideas of every secular humanist or radical philosopher just so long as he had no belief in the Bible?

I remember just a few short years ago when the argument was, "What two people do in the privacy of their own bedroom is nobody else's business." Well now it appears to be the business of one small child. It will be the business of the government as to law and benefits....birth certificate, taxes, custody, etc.... and education of everyone else's children who will go to school with this child. They don't live on a deserted island. Some things are mutually exclusive. As a society we cannot embrace vastly contradictory social structures at the same time. One will win out over the other. Two opposite things cannot be true at the same time and two contrary values cannot be embraced at the same time. Basic logic. That's why people like you are attacking the moral values crowd. That's why you are making goofy, unfounded charges/questions/statements like you did above. You want to turn things upside-down, reverse the order of right and wrong. What you will never ever escape is the reality of human life -- we are all a walking testimony to the normalcy of heterosexuality. You can use the force of government to force a denial of reality, but it won't alter reality. Ideas have consequences and the consequences of this denial of reality will keep on giving its destructive gifts. But let the record show it is your side imposing on all. What the public thinks is clear -- and has been clear for thousands of years. And why not? It is the way of nature according to the laws of nature, so no shock that it is in line with the laws of nature's God.
