| If you choose to be a vegan, that's fine by me. But what you call an addiction to meat is what I call the natural human diet.

| Niether the OT, nor the NT, spells out that "only monogamy is allowed". So its hard to argue against it on Biblical grounds. But its hard to argue for it on NT grounds either (though OT kings did have harems). In contrast the Koran actually spells out the rules: Yes polygamy is allowed, but you're ... |

| Even physiologically, your brain would only be analogous to computer hardware, not software. Not saying, per se, that the soul is just software - although I would suppose that that must be the necessary conclusion for anyone not considering the possibility of the existence of a soul. |

| Civil disobedience only incurs misdemeanors, not crimes. It may sound like a technicality, but it's actually crucial. It's still hundreds of dollars in legal fees, and thousands in lawyer fees - as per my wife's situation as of a year ago which has me working most weekends to allow her to be free t... |
