Hi Joe...I notice the "hate speech " thread has been closed.
I would appeal to you, not to do the same to this one.

There has been a lot of good discussion here and closing the thread would mean all that wisdom (and a little stupidity) being lost.
I would like to think this will stay on the file for new members to read and perhaps add to.

The only thing I would disagree with you about is that the argument is simply between conservative Christians and the homosexual lobby.
I have written throughout this thread as an atheist and perhaps one of the most politically radical on this forum.

Now I may have strange views (to some) on religion and politics but I like to think that I am a democrat on a personal level and to treat the views of those who have a belief as worthless, is simply wrong.

I like to hear both sides of any argument......I many argue strongly against one side, but I would never want them to be silenced..Ake
