Good reply, Howard.
When a person says he is "on God's side," I look for an exit.
We all try to be on God's side, of course, but citing that as a reason
for a coercive law is evil business.
The best book on this concept I've seen is When Religion Becomes Evil, by
Charles Kimball, which I reviewed last year in PERSPECTIVES. A copy of
that review is at
