Thanks Nightstalker, [img]smile.gif[/img]

However, I don't know if they can. If you legislate it so that no writing can condemn homosexuality, that no writing can suggest homosexuality is somehow morally wrong, then you legislate against the Islamic, Jewish and Christian religions. You ban the works held sacred by the "big three". Certainly the Islamic nations are getting very upset by the proposals put forth by the "secular" west.

I'm for living and let living. Don't legislate against homosexuality, but don't swing the other way and legislate against condemning or criticising the practice.

Additionally, in legislating secularism, you legislate against religion also. I would say, legislating secularism is in effect legislating one worldview - atheism - over all others.
