Oh, and since you are passionate in defending both everyone's sexual rights as you are my religious rights, I really appreciate all those times you came to my defense when my beliefs were indeed mocked in this very forum with equal vigor.

Oh yeah. You never did.

Because the two are not equal. Religion is some nonsense that human has created, while sex is essential part of the nature.

Don't get offended by this. As a scientist I still consider a possibility that the science is wrong and your religion is right. But the probability of that is extremely low.

I don't really need him to defend it, as he pointed out. I was just trying to make an inference of hypocrisy. I have defended myself quite extensively here.

That said, you are not the first to say so here. It's all the rage not to believe in God. But to say religion is just nonsense is, in fact, nonsense. Religion is built into humanity. Even most who do not believe in deity in any form still engage in religious-like behaviors and rituals, whether they realize it or not. It too is a part of humanity.

And I understand that sexuality is also an essential part of nature. I just believe in treating that part with more respect than I feel it gets these days.
