You seem to miss my point a bit where you disagree. What I mean to say is that I think sodomy is/ought to be a moral question, not a legal question. I condemn it and worry about those who engage in it on a moral level. On a legal level, with my assumptions about keeping them away from the kiddies, consent and keeping it private, I could care less. My comment about being happy was a bit of a toss-off: sort of on the lines of "if you want to engage in Darwin-award-winning behavior that doesn't affect anyone else, be my guest". On a certain level, one could be at least mildly pleased that those whose behavior you think is harmful are industriously killing themselves off.
I suppose it's a bit of a conundrum, but I don't see a contradition for praying for mercy for the souls of those who have sinned, while not thinking the state should stop them from engaging in those sinful behaviors. In fact, that is a position for the separation of church and state.

Naaa...I was just kinda messin' with your post.
I'm in 100% agreement with everything you said below (c&p'd from your response to me):
