    I did not respond to all your data because I did not and still do not
    see its relevance to a discussion of civil religion (where it
    originated), or to a discussion of what Christians' attitudes should
    be toward homosexuality. More to the point, I find it manifestly
    off-topic (even if true), and do not want to prolong the thread by
    responding to it.

    Given our different worldviews, the possibility of an honest dialogue
    seems remote.
