"As long as you don't make me marry gay people or convince my son to cut his penis off and call him a girl we're good!"

And nobody is asking you to do that, so we're cool.

"So you think teenagers wanting to kill old people is okay?"

Absolutely not. But look up and you'll see the point passing overhead.

I don't give a tinker's damn what's in the Bible, and you're free to believe whatever you want. My only concern is the question of literalism. The words in black and white say kids. So if I have to read a big riff on the contortions necessary to interpret it, then the idea of a literal reading goes out the window.

Once it's not literally true - which, be honest, even most theologians agree - then it's no longer suitable for running the country. People like the Speaker of the House can't explain himself by just shouting "BIBLE! BIBLE!" all the time. Throw it out and organize the society in a logical, secular manner. Then everybody gets freedom of religion.
