Charlie, Bravo! no one knows the mind of God on this or any other matter. Anyone who pretends to is guilty of blasphemy. All we can do is examine every moral question for every possible perspective and hope that whatever position we arrive at is a reasonable one. William Temple, the great modern Archbishop of Canterbury once said:"It is a mistake to suppose that God is only, or even chiefly, concerned with religion." My spin on that statement is that God is concerned with Humanity, not how we organize ourselves to relate to God. Bill -----Original Message----- From: Charles T.
