A lot of stuff seems more fun if you feel you're violating some great taboo or wallowing in sin - sex being the most obvious example. Could it be that the notion of sin helps make sex feel more than just a mechanical act? I'm sure most people have an anecdote or two about a religiously-inclined sex partner in a state of high arousal. Whew! Actually JohnnieCanuck, you might be on to something pretty deep there.

Given there is no god to assign black marks to non-existent souls, there is no such thing as a sin in a reality based world. There are such things as crimes, yes. Moral failings also exist, sure. That's when you hurt someone. However, what consenting adults do with each other should never be considered as either, let alone as sins. Though of course, chocolate is much improved by the thought that it is sinful. Sins don’t exist except in some people’s imagination.

If (as many believe) it isn't then there is no problem If (as others believe) it is then I'd point other christians to what Christ viewed as the most important commadnment and also to the line "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" Basically put if someone is going to be judged for their lifestyle it wont be me to do it and I should treat them as I would want to be treated myself. So in both occassions I treat them with the respect they deserve as fellow human beings, therefore moot point.

If any of you want a diverting 10 minutes or so, google "fred phelps"+"closet case". This guy has literally driven himself insane with self-loathing. He really needs some young stud to give him a few hours of nice therapeutic buggery. Unfortunately he's old and ugly as well as mean and demented.

I once sent an incredibly polite email to the WBC asking why, if God hates us all so much, are we worshipping him in the first place? - They never replied.

Thats kinda my point. Beheading your wife over a matter of honour sends out a message. Going and bragging about it to the police (like he did) also sends out a message. Not a message that someone wanting people to love Islam, with its renowned view of females-as-property, perhaps wanted? It is an action beyond satire. Jesus and Mo is a satirical website. Hence the "stuff writes itself" comment. Any more points that you need me to spell out- please don't hesitate to ask! Jerry- Er , yes. Thats kinda my point.
