        So you support a man abusing his wife because they are part of
a natural lifestyle? 

        I am not saying all men beat their wives. I'm not saying that
no homosexuals beat their partners. What I am saying is that not all
straight relationships are the same. There are good ones and bad ones.
Don't say all of them are perfect, or based on natural affection,
because not all are.

        Define family. How about the definition used in Biblical times
- a man and all of his wives. Or the mideaval defintion - where the
man owned his wife and children.

        I think you meant "man and wives."

        So when you say you are straight, or talk about going on a
date with a woman, does that involve "taking it out of the bedroom?"

        We don't. We talk about Christian fundamentalism. That's
different from Islamic fundamentalism. Christian fundamentalism is
based on the Christian religion.

        Did you know that Islam also recognizes Abraham and Jesus?

        Our currency says "In God We Trust." It doesn't say what
God...

        Which part of history? See above.

        I would LOVE to marry my partner. It's your laws that say I
cannot.
