I don't care what he reads/believes. I care about what he posts publicly. It's a matter of principles. Despicable ideas need to be met with a reaction - that's how civilized society enforces ethics. That's how random people reading this thread (some of which may not know any better) can be made aware, that there are opposing views to the ones expressed by apologists.
And yes - I was raised a Catholic, I was spoon-fed this nonsense since before I was able to think critically and I knew a bunch of Christians, who had a very OT approach to marriage and sex. Not to mention the f-ing Muslims - who still seem to be living in bronze age. So - I'm sorry (well - not really) that it bothers me when apologists do their darndest to try and make horrible primitive people and their customs appear somehow justified - but it does. And Randy can easily avoid my ripostes, by keeping his weasel-y nonsensical rationalizations to himself.
Can't stand the heat - get the f*** out of my kitchen. (Yes - I am a chef, so pardon me for not being a silver-tongued diplomat - we all express ourselves the way we know how). This is an Atheist Forum, after all. What do you expect? "Amen, brother!"?
