106. And I would suggest,
Given your sig line, that you put much more faith -- and I mean that quite literally -- in your "God" than in the secular courts, the research laboratories, the schools, even the doctors' offices.

That means your arguments are biased, and we know which direction they are biased.

You are saying that your definition is the only definition and that it should become the law of the land. In other words, your "God's" word should become the law of the land.

but your "god" is not mine.

Understand that even under a theocracy, not everyone agrees. Should your version of the law be enacted, what will happen when the word of God as heard by the judge doesn't agree with the word of God as heard by you? What about all those who have killed their living children because they heard the word of God tell them to do so?

What about Pastor Anderson here in Arizona who says God tells him all the gays should be killed, all the sodomites and queers? Who's to say he doesn't hear the same God you do? Who's to say you're not hearing the wrong god or a false god or someone who just does a really good impersonation inside your head?

If I hadn't read your sig line, I wouldn't have made these comments.


Tansy Gold, who's not going to make the other comment
