    You know, sometimes hyperbole rises to the level of the ridiculous and absurd.

    I’m not exactly sure why a child is given the respect of someone with actual life experience.

    Yes, the religious right feels that non heterosexual relationships are sinful as is demonstrated in their Bible. This is even more pronounced in Islam in their Koran. For many in this part of the world practicing homosexuality is a capital crime. That is clearly not the case in the west.

    I don’t care about what people do privately nor do I care about what other people think providing they don’t enforce it by civil law.

    What other people think is none of my business!

    "it's none of your business" should be applied with far greater frequency to a great many examples of one group of people telling another how they should live their lives.

    I am often reminded in moments such as this of the brilliance of this old dead fellow... the operable phrase arrives at the end...

    Extract from Thomas Jefferson’s Notes on the State of Virginia
    The error seems not sufficiently eradicated, that the operations of the mind, as well as the acts of the body, are subjects to the coercion of the laws. But our rulers can have authority over such natural rights only as we have submitted to them. The rights of conscience we never submitted, we could not submit. We are answerable for them to our God. The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
