You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.  RE: Anti gay-marriage atheist??

"A wise man ... proportions his belief to the evidence." — David Hume, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, Section X, Part I.
"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."

1. There is no such thing as an "evolutionary purpose". I gather the author made the term up?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition

The dangers of lesbian sex are made up, so why not make up a bunch of other foolishness, too? In for a penny, in for a pound.

It is well known that the primary danger of lesbian sex is that the wife finds the video...

I wonder what the author would say the 'evolutionary purpose' is for homosexuality among: male lions, male bison, female penguins, male dolphins, male elephants, brown bear and other species?
