The questions you always fail to answer include:
1) Why should the fact that something is considered wrong according to a
(not "the", "a") moral tradition mean anything?
**Didn't answer this question becaue I didn't know that it had been
asked! Now that you do let me try to answer.
Unless we want to try to establish WHICH moral tradition is
the correct one first, in which case that answers your question,
the reason it matters is that the context within the whole topic
is going on is within the prevailing tradition. Which is against
homosexuality and would undergo a radical change if it accepted
homosexual behavior as normal. (I don't buy Bailey or Boswell's
arguments about the proper interpretation of scripture). The
short answer is that while it may not matter to you it does matter
very much to alot of people because of their belief system.
2) Why can't you format an article so that people can read it?
**you should talk! What is this crap you sent me! See below
"And by the way..."
A nit from a nitwit!!
3) Why can't you continue a rational argument for more than ten seconds
without becoming an intolerable asshole?
**At least you give me ten seconds. Beauty is in the eye of the
beholder. I would worry if you liked me.
And by the way...

... 1) I didn't assume it was a woman. I assumed it was a vacuum cleaner.
2) I got the impression that no one does anything TO you *or* WITH you,
but rather that they throw things AT you.
**I assume all of the above was in something from Sophie. (talk about
format!)
Now I ask you ****, is the above (1 & 2) worthy of an adult retort?
Naa Naa! It reminds me (painfully) of your response a while ago
which gagged half the net we were on.
You're only getting what you deserve, chump.

***How about a new sign off!
I like the questions you raise on the mind/body discussion
but you are too facile in your rejection of non-material
reality.
