I know you were making a point. I just used your point to another point. Not a view I hold by the way. Just explaining the thinking that is behind the question you posed when making your point.

Demon.
Looked like you had an interest in the thread, just wanted to point out that we suffer because we rejoice in the sinful vice that God hates.
The other day a story on Drudge pretty much summed up just how perverse our society has became. A couple was arrested out side a wedding fornicating on the lawn helping to get the coupe off to a good start I guess.
