I think we have too easily dismissed this argument.  The problem is not the
inference; the problem is making the premises probably true. Ed now has to
tell us a short world history, focused on the causal relations between
acceptance of homosexuality and the general moral break up of society, and
the typical cultural result in the West when the classical and/or
Judeo-Christian framework is rejected. There is still the possible problem
of confusing appropriate law with appropriate morality, but I think we could
table that in order to hear Ed out.  So, Ed, are you going to start in the
ancient East or the ancient West? If you can historically verify these
claims I think you would have one interesting argument.

P.S.  And thanks for treating us like normal human beings; not often you see
conservatives do that around here.
