You make excellent points and argue with conviction. <BR>
<BR>
So why address your ideas to "Normal People?" <BR>
<BR>
According to your opinion, this would leave out over 90% of the people in the USA who believe in propositions which you have defined as evidence of "mental illness." Do you wish to limit your readership to a small select group? Or are you appealing to the sense of "normality" you hope resides in many people who follow the beliefs you are questioning, people who may realize that perhaps they also should question some of these beliefs?<BR>
<BR>
You make a valuable point that the Bible does assert punishments that are draconian and ridiculous for certain behaviors. Indeed, having a public defender who thought this sort of punishment was appropriate and commanded by God for those behaviors raises serious questions.<BR>
<BR>
But why the giant red and blue text?<BR>
<BR>
This reminds me of books for very young children, or text for the visually impaired. <BR>
<BR>
What does this imply regarding how you view V2020 readers?<BR>
<BR>
Hmmmmmmmm...<BR>
