My positive naturalistic viewpoint relies on evidence...

I reserve the right to question anything one has to take solely on faith.
 
I simply ask all those who are faithful to respect my belief, just as they as me to respect theirs.

NYT's Letter to Editor In response to James Dobson

This is the letter I wrote to the NY Times in response to the following:
 
Cultural changes cannot be "managed", however much Dr. Dobson yearns for some supposedly "better" tradition.  Families are far more diverse than ever before, and our economy and society seem to be coping.
 
His single issue vehemence only serves to isolate him, and his support for a third party candidate would seal the deal.  That's why Giuliani doesn't care about Dr. Dobson, he knows he'll get those votes anyway...
 
To further educate Dr. Dobson, there are those who feel that having children is immoral altogether, but that is a different discussion.
 
I hope any political activities including fundraising and "calls-to-action" via sermon by churches are taxed appropriately.

(Apologies to VHEMTers (I mean, "single issue vehemence", I couldn't resist!!))

Someone decided to live in a public space, without anyone knowing!
