What IS good, and how do we determine it?

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.

Yes, but that's kind of the problem. You may be an exemption but conservatives all around the world, who also call themselves christians, think it's perfectly alright to put their noses where the don't belong. Especially when it comes to conservative parties, who often have christian in their label. They fight teeth and claws to prevent same sex unions or, when it comes to America, to sneak religious religious ideas into legislation.

I always keep saying, what happens in church should stay in church. My problem with religion starts when it tries to force itself into everybody's life.
