And yours is not it.

I don't have one, any more than I have a law of gravity. It simply exists.

The objective reality here is that we live under the governance of a secular government, and a system created by some people who took great pains to, in spite of their strong beliefs, impose obstacles on religious zealots from duplicating the work of tbe Taliban in this country.

The first person to bring up the Taliban looses on the lack of more cogent argument. To the point, we live in a society that separates church and state, but not morality and state. Even Ben Franklin, no paragon of virtue, knew that our society could not survive if people could not be moral. The question at hand is not whether there is or should be a national morality, the question is whether and how it should apply to buggery.

Your continued need to persecute those whose behavior you do not agree with, or find personally offensive, will only strenghten their arguments in the eyes of the law; sodomites and queers have no greater ally than yourself, Kevin and the rest.

Once again I will point out who is making laws and who is doing persecuting. Hint: It ain't the Boy Scouts of America.

You wish laws enacted that you yourself admit to being unenforceable, and whose sole purpose is impossing your moral judgement on their behavior.

I haven't admitted anything about their enforcement. I said the method of enforcement would wait until the evidence became public. Same for truancy in school. But I don't want to impose my moral judgement. I want to impose moral reality. The nice thing about living in the U.S. is that we can discuss morality without calling each other names like Taliban or Nazi (until we run out of arguments, that is). If I can persuade enough people to maintain (not change but maintain) the illegality of buggery then it is permitted that I do so. If I can't, then I can't.

Congratulations...queers applaud you efforts, and are extremely grateful for the assistance you continue to provide them in the advancement of their agenda.

Interesting paragraph.

Shalom.

"Once again I will point out who is making laws and who is doing persecuting."

Are you insinuating that Texas homosexuals created a law making homosexual intercourse illegal?

The laws are created by legislatures, and judge by the Court system.

I guess you must have missed the names I was called starting about 100 posts before Taliban or Nazi...it must be that selective "reality" of yours manifesting itself again.
