I cannot help but admire someone who decides that if they are going to err in their religious beliefs, chooses to err on the side of love, compassion and inclusion, because to me, if any religion is meaningful and useful, it is because those are the values it supports.

  - The prime directive of the Bible is love without judgment. Any argument that says, "Okay, let's ignore that in this one instance" is obviously corrupt -- nm - David Dec 23, 13:21
