I do understand what you're saying. Maybe he thought that there aren't any christian nutters in the UK that would go out killing gays based on his religion's viewpoint.
The problem then becomes what do you preach from the Bible? only that which is deemed to be politically correct and non offensive to certain groups. This in turn leads us back full circle, where if that becomes the case then we are admitting that religion is wrong/not applicable.
This argument has been raging on for centuries, I dont think we will get any answers from the Cable Forum.... do you?
