Subject: RE: BS: Secularity vs Religion
Yeah, okay, Strick, I understand. You're supporting a traditional viewpoint as you see it. I guess a change in this particular tradition just doesn't bother me too much. The main point to me is...no one is getting hurt here. I don't believe in victimless crimes as being crimes at all. For the same reason I do not support prosecuting people for simple possession of a drug (for personal use) or for its use...only for selling the drug or committing a crime under its influence...in which case the crime is what I would prosecute them for.

A crime is something that harms someone else, not just something that is unusual or non-traditional. But we all have our favorite traditions to defend, I suppose.
