Thread:Comments:Internet security firm to donate revenue to charity after Anonymous protest of Westboro Baptist Church/Viewpoint: U.S. must turn from sexual immorality to avoid suffering God's Wrath/reply

The moral of the story of Sodom and Gomorrah is that if you've a choice between being inhospitable to a guest, or giving your daughters to a mob to be gang-raped, the good and righteous thing to do is to give your daughters to the mob to be gang-raped. Well, if it's a male guest, anyway. Because women aren't important.

Claiming to derive one's morality from the bible is loony not only because the stories in the bible are some of the most immoral stories you'll find anywhere, but also because they have been naturally selected over many centuries specifically for the property of being ambiguous, so that you can use them to justify whatever form of hatred you prefer and then go around killing people who don't agree with your interpretation, safe in the knowledge that you are right because God says so. That kind of ambiguity allows the stories to remain useful to religious fanatics no matter what beliefs the religious fanatics want to pursue, so that the stories will be propagated by generation after generation of religious fanatics of all stripes. Making the stories successful replicators in the grand Darwinian sense of Dawkins' The Selfish Gene.
