    Everything you say has substantial merit and is most thought provoking. I
    take issue that you think, however, that those of us who are religious are
    "culturally brainwashed". Perhaps I misunderstood you here. Would you
    brainwash us differently? But this is one minor point among many good ones. I
    go out of my way to defend people who are unfairly treated and attacked
    because of their differences. I feel this is the right, and Christian way to
    deal with everyone. I am just very concerned about accepting a way of life
    that doesn't have a line drawn on moral behavior. Of course, I totally agree
    that love between any two individuals is their business, but what is love?
    Wanting the best for the other person, etc. The gay society I have witnessed,
    seen, when I lived in San Francisco was extremely promiscuous. Two of my
    friends died from aids before it was even a diagnosed. Families were
    destroyed, children suffered. So although, I can support fairness in
    treatment, I can't deny the negative effects I've seen due to the acceptance
    of this lifestyle. What brought Rome down?

    I don't think you can possibly fully seperate church and state as the moral
    laws do dictate what type of society we have and how we are to treat each
    other.
