"...the author has already accorded the pro-homosexual side a great deal of legitimacy in this matter that it has never had."

Well, I see what you mean, but I don't think you can really pin it on this author. Its obvious some of these arguments have found favor among many Bible-savy Christians who should know better. This author is just some person writing for the BBC, the Episcopal church is about to fall apart over that horrid man, Robinson. So there's some legitimacy (however illegitimate) that's been granted heretofore.

I'm not really sure what to think about the shrimp, but I do remember Dr. Laura saying how very, very many of the commandments (after the top several) are about how to treat your livestock, or somesuch.

In all reality I feel the way I do about homosexuality for the same reasons I feel the way I do about abortion. I think both go against nature. I have no reason to doubt I would feel the same way about these issues even if I were a stone-cold Atheist. And my much beloved brother was a homosexual, who died of AIDS, so it's not in unfamiliarity that I form my conclusions.

What is MOST annoying, however, are the people who cite what they like, from the Bible - or wherever - when it suits their agenda, and then ignore that source otherwise. I don't think you can find ANY shred of support for abortion in the Bible, so maybe Rev. Robinson, et al. should be challenged on that point.

I think it can very easily be pinned on this author. This is clearly a hit piece to legitimize homosexuality. The use of "gay" vs homosexual is just one indicator.

Selective reading of the bible can be insinterprited to legitimize homosexual behavior. Given the strong impulse that sexual satifaction can be (how many people have destroyed their lives over 'getin some'?) it is not surprissing that leftist would go to extremes to achieve acceptance (beyond mere tollerance) through faulty and convoluted logic. Whether its trying to achieve legitimacy through scientific or religious means is not relevant, what is relevant is that there is an agenda to mainstream the homosexual behavior in schools and society in general.
