Wow, I only had to read this three times to understand it. I think I'll have a clearer understanding of what you're saying if I understood redshifting mathematically. I'm thinking of it as a color. The color may fluctuate in intensity because of varying circumstances, but I still don't know enough about it to think of it as having sums and differences.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.
