Great Interview

Good questions, tight answers. The "morality" argument makes me laugh. Think back to Roman times when being a Christian was illegal! What about those immoral, law-breaking, Christians? Deviants? What was it that made it immoral? Was it intrinsic to the plant, to the religion? No. It was considered "immoral" only for the sole reason it was illegal.

If people want to believe it's immoral, then fine, that's their right to abstain from whatever they consider immoral. But they have no right to violate our Constitution, our basic human rights, and force their personal views on the rest of the country (and world!). There are some people who think religion is immoral, or specifically Christianity; fine, that's their right, but they have no right to force us to worship the way they do, or force us to stop worshipping God.
