Wow Chris. You point out so much that I was unaware of. For me I’m glad you pointed this out but it is almost too much information for me.

Wow Chris. You point out so much that I was unaware of. For me I’m glad you pointed this out but it is almost too much information for me. I support gay rights in the same I support the rights of everyone to chose their own lifestyle, religion or freedom from religion as our basic civil rights as long as we don’t harm others. Years ago I read an interesting book where the focus was on not just gayness but what they referred to as consensual crime. I. E. How can it be a crime if we both agree. By that standard I can’t consider what you do with yourself or another to be a crime.
Worse yet is to decide something is a crime because of your religion or the act is just something you don’t like. I don’t like sports but I’m not pushing to make sports illegal. I don’t care much for rap music but I’m not trying to make it illegal. I want freedom from religion but I’m not interested In making religion illegal unless we are talking about Christian Reconstructionism,or dominionists who want to replace our secular constitution with a fascist dictatorship by those who claim to speak for the gods. I don’t support censorship or prohibition but I’m definitely not a libertarian.
I think Calvinistic conservatives have gone to far when they openly (and gleefully) put women’s lives at risk, try to make homosexuality illegal and continue the racist behavior against people of color.
Thanks once again Thom for your excellent writing and broadcasting.
