It's pretty much pointless anyway. This kind of talk only makes sense if you are a full-on believer. Anyone else can easily spot the weaknesses, just as the believer will be unable, due to acceptance of foregone conclusions (marriage equality is direct evidence of Satan), to digest the logic of a thoughtful rebuttal.

I'm afraid this article caused me more boredom than outrage. Still, I guess it's nice to know this guy cares enough to waste his spare time making up unsound arguments for us to roll our eyes at. :roll:

I was reading Sam Young's website today and he has an excellent response to this article.

I have one word for this: myopic.

By the way, Sam Young's response was wonderful. :) Thanks 2bizE, for sharing.
God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.
