I'm not saying you've specifically done bad things, but I strongly doubt somebody as apparently nice as yourself would hold such views about sex out of wedlock or homosexual acts if you didn't have the instillment of religion. You are an extremely mild case relatively speaking, but some of the worst acts of barbarism and oppression in the history of the human race has had its origins in the enforcement of religious teachings.
*Ahem* Also, you're extremely good looking.
Wow, thanks for the kind words and compliment! Perhaps you are speaking too soon, but I will try to uphold you assessment of my character.
I'd also like to be clear (though I'm sure everyone already knows) that while I hold my own personal views about sexual morality, it does not mean I think the law should get involved in cases of consenting adults, nor do I think people who act contrary to my views are bad people.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
