"But I don't consider myself particularly religious. For example, I'm not presently a member of a church." What exactly is your objection to gay marriage? "Humanity is tainted with sin" Where do you get your idea of what is a sin and what is not if not from your religion? "I think they should be looked on as collective wisdom, learned by many over many generations." The collective wisdom of whom, religious people? "The problem with your observation is that in modern SF, they aren't rejected." That's absurd. SF isn't a bubble. Didn't you just see what happened in California? Are you saying that kids in SF don't know about what happens in California and don't have a clue as to what people say in, say, Iowa or Alabama? "What's interesting is that the only person I've heard urge people to kill themselves is your friend and political ally" I don't know what Cliff says to you but I suspect he is telling YOU an ADULT who is voluntarily posting on this board to take a hike off a short pier. To equate that kind of talk with so poisoning the culture that children wish to kill themselves is MONSTROUS. "I consider traditional religion to be a good and worthy institution" So you condone stoning and lynching and polygamy and the other things done in the name of religion? "But not being judgmental doesn't mean one can't determine the difference between right and wrong." Huh? "What do you consider to be the non-nasty bits of religion (mine or others)?" What about not killing others or stealing from them. That would be a start.
