It doesn't matter if today is the best day ever in the life of a homosexual. They are still not given all that we heterosexual people enjoy.

Banning abortion is sexist. I know where you stand and you know where I stand. I'm sure I won't change your opinion and you won't change mine. So we'll have to agree to disagree. Incidentally, I don't like abortion and wouldn't advocate it. I just don't think it's something for a politician to decide. I don't want government making decisions about my body. Abortions should be debated in homes and churches, not congress.
I can see why you would want to move away from Britt's 14 points.

On abortion, since we don't ban abortions anymore, wouldn't that be evidence, according to Britt's flawed 14 points, of movement away from fascism? Shouldn't you give Bush his due credit?

On homosexual rights, how can you argue that Bush has denied a "benefit" that never existed? Doesn't the fact that lives for gays and lesbians have gotten much better over the past six years mean anything? Shouldn't Bush receive his due credit?

It appears that we are indeed moving away from those fascist days of Clinton. Why return to that?

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
