Reverting to biblical authority is all a ruse on this issue isn't it? It is all about society on this moral coil, the kingdom here on earth, and one's view as to what it should be. Thus the cafeteria selection of your favorite course. You should be rather more honest as to what truly animates your passions, as should so many others. I think that is a reasonable expectation.

I took the words that diogenes used in his reply to me because I don't feel I am getting my point across to him. Perhaps I did a better job in post 181. I am not trying to pick and choose morality. I recognize what he says to be true, but somethings have priority over others because of the severity of the consequences. One of the major problems facing our culture is the blanket acceptance of homosexual behavior as normal. This foremost has to be fought if we are to survive.

I want to revise my last post to you just a bit. Blanket acceptance of homosexuality, the culture of death, and cultural paganism have to be foremost fought if we are to survive.

I am not trying to pick and choose morality

But of course you are, and that is your right, and duty as a citizen. I respect that. The fact that I disagree with you, is a matter to be joined in the public square in civil debate. And on that ground, I will be comfortable with the outcome. I have great confidence that the best and most moral nation that has ever graced this Earth will work it all out reasonably well, at least for our corporeal term. And that should delimit the scope of the debate, and the ultimate resolution.
