Re: Hello and Welcome to Technology!

I believe he was referring to the general trend of religious people to vote for any politician claiming to write laws banning what they see as "Morally Bankrupt" activities.

These LAWS affect all people in the state/county/country and should not be put into place because some group of people were threatened with an eternity in a dimension of fire if they did not subscribe to a certain belief system think that these activities are "Morally Bankupt"

The stock defense is always that religious people are simply excercising their "free choice" which conveniently always dodges the original problem of the religious groups trying to revoke another persons free choice through legislation. (Think of the children laws)

Let's narrow this a little bit more by saying legalistic religious people want to ban activities they don't agree with.

Depending on how you want to define religious, I could fall into that stereo type. However, I am a true believer that you can't force anyone to be morally right. You can simply teach them the difference between right and wrong and what integrity is and then hope when they stand face to face with the decision they make the right one. No matter what "religion's" version of the Bible you look at, that is the lesson it will teach.

Just like in real life, even on the Internet if someone wants it, they will find a way to get it and there is no way you can stop them.
