I'll go with God. Absolutely.

Didn't mean to call you a Talibani. I guess you're right, that's the reducto ad Naziim of the modern age.

I was just trying to suggest that there are a large number of people who will make counter-cultural choices simply because they are counter-cultural.

We have a very liberal society which accepts a lot of things that previous generations would have found unacceptable. This is a great strength to our culture, but also a vulnerability as you point out.

My point is that government intervention will only lead to the victory of those you oppose. Cultural and religious wisdom should be preserved by cultural and religious institutions. The Boy Scouts should hold the line. The Catholic Church should preach doctrine to the ends of the Earth. The Protestants should fight the tide.

But the government will never be their ally. The government will side with the modernists, every single time.

I can't stress enough how much I agree with you on this. I wouldn't contend otherwise.

I'm glad we got a handle on each other's position. :)
