    I wouldn’t give two shits what other people believe but they keep trying to force the rest of us to live in their lifestyles.

    NOPE.

        Religious belief informs ethical understanding.

        one would hope

          It’s sociological. Traditions and taboos aren’t unique to religion. Communities form them as a means of building trust between members.

            and yet, the pedos in the news so often skew ecclesiastical or conservative.

            so what’s that ethical understanding again?

            what a gigantic load of horse shit. unless you’re asserting the ethics of the church is focused on buggering children, which I would have to concede is amply endorsed by the evidence so far.
