Utterly fascinating and thought-provoking.<BR/><BR/>I suppose the chief weakness of your comparison (geocentric universe, vs. homosexuality-as-immorality) is that it's easy to look at stuff like the sun standing still as a poetic device, much as we refer to the sun rising even though we know the earth is actually fallingmarauder34https://www.blogger.com/profile/00651154474169358422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15429607.post-1129585277093698482005-10-17T17:41:00.000-04:002005-10-17T17:41:00.000-04:00Ash, the hypocrisy of Christians is irrelevant.Chr...Ash, the hypocrisy of Christians is irrelevant.<BR/><BR/>Christ said "follow me".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15429607.post-1129559575505375972005-10-17T10:32:00.000-04:002005-10-17T10:32:00.000-04:00Great post, JJ.
