- No, the majority does NOT decide "what are civil rights." The
- constitution, and specifically the Bill of Rights, were designed
- to prevent the trampling of rights by the majority.
- What groups do you feel are trying to ban Christianity?

- That's why he used the phrase "consenting adult". Children are not

- situations. And by the way, I know quite a few gay men and
- lesbians, and I don't know ANYONE who thinks pedophilia should
- be legalized. Such people do exist, but they are a small minority.
