By the way as evidenced by CNN and others, by putting it in quotes I don't have to comment on the terms truthiness.

But: Why do we make allowances for our own money in religion, but not other people's sexuality? Because the construction of religion is no different than the construction of any other institution, and we'll rationalize anything we need to in the name or our own comfort, while viciously persecuting the other guy. Because if priests could marry, the Catholic church wouldn't be such assholes about contraception, just like, as Gloria Steinem said, if men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.
