I'd just like to have the cold comfort that as the government is kicking down my bedroom door and lecturing to me how I live my private life that my Christian masters are at least living by their own rulebook.
In all seriousness, go tell it on the mountain if you wish but don't tell it on Capitol Hill.
It's a simple rule and it will help us all get along.
