re: #159 recusancy

Not much different then forcing a woman to give birth to a rapists baby regardless of the health and well being of the mother.

When the religious right (to whom I am not sympatico) starts blowing people up because they didn’t get their religious code installed as the national law then there will be some not so magical balance to discuss.

I am no fan of the theocratic right and they are no friend to me (I’m not the right kind of Christian) but to my knowledge outside of Eric Rudolph and a few other isolated murderers there is no organized effort on behalf of a particular Christian group to overthrow the government by violence and force people to believe by threat of the sword.

The same cannot be said of the Taliban and Al Queda even though they do not represent the broader religion of Islam.
