    You see, some of us can see middle ground between religion not in any way informing anything in society and sharia law. Apparently unofan and others can't see anything in between. Doesn't surprise me, given past things I've seen said around here.
    Grey area is only good if it fits your agenda. Everyone is guilty of that.

      Especially Bob...but to be fair life sucks when you are nailed to a cross

      Can you imagine the hissy fit Bob would throw if someone from a religion unlike his said the same things he did? Remember only Jesus was right...he was also white and had a six pack and healed dinosaurs!!

          Not all religious or spiritual people are as unforgiving as the examples you read in textbooks. What did you expect, the Spanish Inquisition? NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!

            Lots of things legitimately fall into grey areas. That's just the way life is.

                They aren't dinosaurs. The correct term is "Jesus Horses"

                  Suddenly everybody is fixated on dinosaurs. Well, in that spirit, when I was a kid I always thought the diplodocus had a cool name.

                    Just liberals changing the subject. This (queer hitchins) is one of the very few issues that I actually agree with them on, and it makes me feel extremely dirty. I don't want to be associated with the libs in any way. My way out is, I think it is a fairly conservative concept to allow gays to marry, the government shouldn't be intruding on their lives either, and should be as small as possible.

                    Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

                      One person's "changing the subject" is another person's "having fun on an internet message board." But since some people have absolutely no sense of humor I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

                      OK everyone, stay on topic or else!

                        To be fair, we do it to Bear Red on the D-I forum all the time. Actually, if anything, it's more of a libertarian point of view, where you may disagree with someone, but you defend their ability to do it. There's nothing wrong with that. And so what if you happen to agree with someone on something, yet disagree with them on most other things? That just goes to show that you're not some political troll like some of the Freddie Meyer wannabes on these threads.

                            Oh, I came up with an analogy I like: marriage is to life as the bar exam is to law school. You spend months preparing for it and at the end you're incredibly stressed out, but hopefully you only ever have to do it once.

                              Maybe it would be a good idea if we stopped assuming every person should be a 'them' or 'us', labeled as a liberal or a conservative and actually listen to what they think. Most people aren't on one end of the bell curve or the other and shockingly have a wide variety of views depending on the subject. Bob and I agree whole heartedly on some things and absolutely not on others.
