Spread the misery? They made a lot of money as mercenaries during the religious wars. Maybe it was part of a long term business plan, the Swiss do things like that.

and why in hell did they have to imbue my scotch ancestors with it?

Just in case I’ve failed to mention this in the past – who thought a religion based on the ideas of a French lawyer was a good idea. What in hell was wrong with my people in Switzerland?

I’m really tired of having to deal with the sexual hang-ups of a lot of freaks. The state has no business or reason to be involved in these issues. They need to get their noses out of other people’s bedrooms and doctors’ offices.

They way things are going we don’t need a new sexual deviants list, the roster of Repubs fills the same purpose. If they want to “defend” marriage, they might try worrying about making their marriages work, then they might not have so many divorces.

Calvinist Geneva… literally the city fathers… ordered the execution of one of the founders of my religion, Michael Servetus, arguably one of the earliest Unitarians, for heresy. Calvin said that he really liked Servetus, and regretted that it had to be done… an early instance of “love the sinner, hate the sin, punish the sinner.” Servetus was burned anyway, and today’s Unitarian Universalists still get nervous when the radicals start gathering firewood.

Count me an unabashed, unreserved Roe supporter. My first contract programming job 20 years ago was a political mailing list dBase app for the local Planned Parenthood, and my outlook on the subject hasn’t changed since that job. If a woman cannot control her body, she cannot truly control her life, and there is no greater infringement of her control than the insistence that she bear a child. IMHO, it is up to her… period.
