These are the kinds of things that happen when you mix religion and politics.

In a free society, i should be allowed to have sex with anyone (as long as they're consenting) and not have to be called a necrophiliac.

But when you start mixing religion and "morals" and other subjective things in with an objective rule of law this is what you get.

I hope Huckabee doesn't win because i don't want this man in the white house issuing statements telling me how to live my life.

Hey Huck, MY god says its ok for me to have sex with another man. So why should your god get preferential policy treatment over mine?

This is why secularism is soooo very important to a free society.

Unfortunately, we're moving further and further away from that and towards a "theocracy" where one man's religious morals will determine the law of the land....

ColinATL wrote on December 18, 2007 5:36 PM:

You know, I understand what Huck's research dude is trying to do, and I understand what he's saying about Huck's earlier comment. He does say it's a spectrum. But the questioner should have pursued that line of reasoning a little further.

Sure I can see that homosexuality and necrophilia are at opposite ends of this spectrum given the grammatical structure of the statement. But does that mean that pedophilia is at the same end of the spectrum as homosexuality, and that sadomasochism is at the other end with necrophilia? This is the logical extension of his argument.

So pedophilia is "less aberrant" and sadomasochism is "more aberrant?" Pedophilia is the same as homosexuality? And necrophiliacs are the same as sadomasochists? Consenting adult behaviors should be less aberrant, and sex with nonconsenting corpses and children should be more aberrant.

This obviously isn't a spectrum of aberrant bahavior, it's a grab bag of things Huck doesn't like strung together to equate them all. It's obvious this is what he was trying to do, and no amount of backpeddling on Huck's or his campaign's part can rewrite his apparently extremist views...

David wrote on December 18, 2007 5:38 PM:

I think you missed the point. His quote says "from homosexuality and pedophilia TO sadomasochism and necrophilia". So the range runs from h & p to s & n. He's equating homosexuality with pedophilia, not with necrophilia. Feel better?

Jon wrote on December 18, 2007 5:43 PM:

I've got to ask - who exactly did Huckabee think was publicly endorsing and institutionally supporting necrophilia? Or for that matter, pedophilia? At least without some form of anonymity to hide behind?

Rionn Fears Malechem wrote on December 18, 2007 5:47 PM:

Society is becoming more accepting of necrophilia. We've had sympathetic necrophiliacs in St. Elsewhere, Scrubs and Six Feet Under, I think. I think it was frowned up in the 60s.

Someone more familiar with the television shows might be able to help me out, but I think any show based in a hospital eventually trots out a necrophiliac pathologist.

Honestly, is calling homosexuality "aberrant" behavior really going to fly over the long haul?

Ross Best wrote on December 18, 2007 6:03 PM:

The difference between homosexual sex between consenting adults and necrophilia is that with necrophilia only one person is committing a sin.

Since when is homosexuality "institutionally supported"? Or does Huck think it is because we haven't gone out and jailed or deported all of America's gay people?

Since when is pedophilia "institutionally supported"? We actually do arrest and jail pedophiles.

And while necrophilia kinda creeps me out, I didn't think it was a big problem.

Sadomasochism? As long as there's a safe word....

Mike Huckabee wrote on December 18, 2007 7:22 PM:

In 1988 I did independent tests to see firsthand where various sexual practices stood on the continuum of aberrant A to abberant B.

My finding: homosexuality is abberrant and so is necrophilia. However, homosexuality is at one end of the abberrant spectrum, at Aberrant A. Necrophilia is at the opposite end, at Abberant B.

George Arndt wrote on December 18, 2007 8:05 PM:

A handful of deeply disturbed individuals going on shooting sprees is hardly indicative of a "culture in decline". This is no more fair than to judge all Muslims based on the behavior of Bin Louden. This is a slap in the face and a smear against Americans in general. (Isn’t the left which is often accused of being “anti-American”?)
Of course fundimentalists “non-believers” as the source of all evil, Yet, there seems to be little correlation between religiosity and the overall welfare of society. The rest of the industrialized world is much more secular than the US, yet they have lower levels of teen pregnancy, abortion and homicide than we do.
If you want to take a look at a “degenerate culture” go to Eastern Pakistan or Afghanistan, both societies dominated by religious fundamentalist. Or another example is the deep south of the recent past. Many people in the South less than a few generations ago had strong families and put church and faith at the center of their lives. Yet many of these “Godly” people had no problem with subjugating African Americans. Indeed, in some parts of the South a lynching was a cause for a picnic. Imagine the gruesome scene: A family just out of church celebrating in front a fresh corpse hung on tree. (Gotta lover those old time family values, right?)
Of course, we recently have all these “Bible based believers” who turned out to be closet homosexuals or had sex with prostitutes, etc.
The bitter irony is that this book was written at a time when homicide rates and teen pregnancies and drug use were all in decline. But, apparently, Huckibee doesn’t mind letting a few inconvenient facts get in the way of a good invective.

The more that comes out about Huckabee, the more of a nut case he appears. Yet his popularity within the GOP in Iowa is increasing. I guess that shows how low the party has fallen when it comes to logic and rational thought.

So is Huckabee against all gay sex or just gay dead sex?

Jbill wrote on December 18, 2007 8:48 PM:

Rather than a random grab-bag of unsavory topics for GOP ears, the list is more like a set of parallel slippery slopes. He might be saying 'Homosexuality leads to pedophilia as sadomasicism leads to necrophilia'.

While Huck is happy to call gays and the S&M crowd 'abberent', he's not ready to own up to his deeper message.

Oh, pulleeeeeeZ.

The quotation you're all jabbering about is not objectionable in any way other than that. It's clear on the face of it that the man was listing what he considered sexually aberrant behavior.

Folks, if your objection is "We disagree, we don't think homosexuality is aberrant," just say that. You actually think you're being clever by deliberately confuting homosexuality and necrophilia disingenuously?

r€nato wrote on December 18, 2007 9:09 PM:

Plumb Bob, come on. It was Huckabee who was deliberately conflating homosexuality and necrophilia. Why else mention both in the same sentence?

Well if Lifeless Larry Craig is involved, I'd say that homosexuality and necrophilia are almost the same thing. Hook his cadaverous legs up to some electrodes and his foot taps uncontrollably. Weekend at Larry's.

The Facilitatrix wrote on December 18, 2007 9:52 PM:

If Greg gets the chance to query Huckabee's director of propaganda, I mean research, again, I'd like to have his take on the comparative harm that each of these aberrant behaviors inflicts on the participants.

Although I would not want to be the object of a necrophiliac's affection (how about a good argument for cremation?), the one "aberration" out of the four (and I think that we have to acknowledge that pedophilia comes second on the continuum from homosexuality to necrophilia)that is devastatingly harmful is pedophilia. Two (and possibly three) involve mutual consent, while pedophilia involves unforgivable, abominable victimization.

No matter how you parse it, Huckabee's statement is indefensible. Leave out any judgment on what's aberrant or not and which "aberrations" are "publicly endorsed and institutionally supported" (is he counting NAMBLA?); to include pedophilia in with the others--tantamount to equating rape with speeding, shoplifting, and flashing--is beyond the pale.

hello_world wrote on December 18, 2007 10:27 PM:

So, wait a minute. So, supposedly, it goes homosexuality > pedophilia > sadomasochism > necrophilia? So in Huck's world, two consenting adults who might like to spank one another is worse than sexually assaulting a small child? Or is Huck trying to suggest that homosexuality is the MOST "abhorrent" on his list, and necrophilia is a relativity victimless endeavor? I can never keep up now a days.

Truthwhip wrote on December 19, 2007 12:16 AM:

No doubt Huckleberry has engaged in at least a few of the activities and behaviors listed on this "spectrum" of his.
Those who so frequently get up on their high horse to talk about sex, religion and morality, always seem to end up being the most pathetically sick, twisted and insane of all individuals.
And the fact that the word love is never, ever mentioned when such people talk about sex is very telling indeed (in my view).

Personally, I'd be willing to bet that at the very least Huckleberry has ecstatically sucked off Larry Craig, Bob Allen, Mark Foley and/or a host of other "Good-Christian-Conservative-Republican" politicians who are actually gay. Or has possibly engaged in some marathon sessions of incredibly violent, crystal meth-induced anal sex with a fellow Evangelical Pastor -- such as Ted Haggard, for instance.
Or perhaps despite all his pious rhetoric, Huckleberry has actually raped some children. Or maybe when he was a teenager out there in the sticks where he comes from, he once decided to f*ck the corpse of a dead animal (maybe even one he hunted and killed himself?).
While he claims that "women should always be submissive to their husbands" the real truth may well be that Huckleberry adores having his wife dress up like a nasty, vinyl-clad dominatrix, so she can tie him up, burn his ass with lit cigarettes, and then thrash the crap out of him with a cat o' nine tails until he whimpers for "Mummy!"

With these kind of fanatics, you just never know. Any or all of the above behaviors, or mere fantasies focused on these things, are in fact, a very real possibility.

Tim Hulsey wrote on December 19, 2007 12:23 AM:

To be fair, Huckabee may never have said this. He didn't write very much of Kids Who Kill, and this particular sentence doesn't sound like it came from one of the chapters he's responsible for. The chapter that sounds most like Huck comes near the end, and it's chock full of Bible quotes with parenthetical citations.

Zoe wrote on December 19, 2007 12:51 AM:

He's obviously not a real Christian; real Christians know that there is no difference between sins. All sin is the same; if Mr. Huckabee believes homosexuality and necrophilia are both sins, then he can't wriggle out of it politically by claiming they don't equate. Sheesh. Get it right, tool of Satan.

Rusty Scalf wrote on December 19, 2007 1:02 AM:

There's no question that sadomasochism is institutionally supported; It has lots of support within the CIA for example. But Necrophelia? How is necrophelia institutionally supported?

Just curious.

Environmentalists. As in they get the same ire as homosexuals or necropheliacs for abberant behavior.

Whether MSNBC added that or it was missed here I don't know, wouldn't buy a copy of the book to find out.

Peter wrote on December 19, 2007 10:05 AM:

Using his logic, if homosexuality and necrophilia are on opposite ends of the spectrum, then that would mean that their grouped pairs are on the opposite ends of the spectrum, and therefore he was equating homosexuals to pedophiliacs and sadomasochists to necrophiliacs. Those are just wrong. I would have to say that I view pedophilia as worse than necrophilia. At least necrophiliacs aren't fucking someone up for life. Sadomasochism is only bad depending on how it's done. I know some very well adjusted people who engage in the BDSM lifestyle.

Homosexuality and BDSM are normal but at only about 10% a piece, they aren't the norm, and therefore are aberrations by one particular use of the word, but are in no sense as aberrant as pedophilia. No, I think his explanation doesn't hold up. It's far more likely that Huckabee is just a bigoted asshat.

What does it MATTER that he thinks homosexuality is "sinful" or "aberrant"? Sky-diving is also "aberrant" in that it deviates from normal behavior (people don't usually throw themselves out of airplanes for fun, but a select few DO). And what about "sinful"? His personal religious perspective has to do with secular law WHY??

azzy23 wrote on December 19, 2007 5:24 PM:

I'd like to point something out here that is really bothering me... I was raised in religious school, surrounded by evangelical southern baptists... and we were ALWAYS taught that sin is sin. There aren't degrees of sin. One sin isn't worse than others, all sin is sin.

Whether you think homosexuality is the same as necrophilia is irrelevant to the point that these guys are quantifying sin; making some sins worse than others. Playing God, if you will...

Dr. Paul N. Sibley-Schreiber wrote on December 19, 2007 5:51 PM:

Mike Huckabee is creating a dangerous environment in American politics. He is using his radical, uninformed, naive fundamentalism as a cudgel against equality for all people and continues to spew hatred as a rallying cry to uplift the self righteous among us. Social conservatism has placed a black mark on our history. He has forgotten that the, "WE," in We the People are not just the majority, but ALL of US. Are WE the People of these United States willing to let one group of people DICTATE the policies of ALL the People? I should think, NOT! Mr. Huckabee, keep your form of morality in your church and not in our government!

Huckabee said the following in a 1998 book he co-wrote called Kids Who Kill:

"It is now difficult to keep track of the vast array of publicly endorsed and institutionally supported aberrations—from homosexuality and pedophilia to sadomasochism and necrophilia."

It's nice to know that Huckabee acknowledges that Gays and Lesbians are the opposite from dead people. But I do have 2 questions:

Who "publicly endorsed" necrophilia? What institution supports necrophilia? As a UU minister and Right to Marry lobbyist who prides herself on being current with the liberal agenda, I must admit I'm stumped!

I think the reason Huck grouped his sins this way was to give a shout out to his friends in congress. Now "homosexuality and pedophilia" obviously refer to the accepted acts of Republican Congressmen. The acts described as on the "opposite ends of the spectrum" are those done by our boys (and girls) in Blue. Everybody knows that Democrats like to rough up their dead bodies before they get to work (I heard it on Fox news just this morning).

Just a thought.

P.S. As long as those guys shout out "Hail Mary" while using their Rosary as a lasso on their boys the are forgiven for their sins.

You can use it to link to the generally hateful parent website of the FRC. What the FRC doesn't seem to want anyone to know is that a number of FRC senior advisors and staff are directly involved with Huckabee's campaign, including Charmaine Yoest, a regular FRC hatebag.

Why the secrecy? Spread the word! We are watching carefully, FRC.

I am not going to get into what Huckabee's politics and views are, just what his statement (the subject of this article) says.

If you are saying that Huckabee's people have issued a new statement "denying our suggestion that the quote equated homosexuality and necrophilia," I say that of course they would and should do that.

If you think that his original statement did in fact equate homosexuality and necrophilia, then you are an idiot. It is an absurd suggestion. When someone speaks of "soup to nuts," does that imply that soup equals nuts? When speaking of the range of seasons, "from fall and winter to spring and summer," does that imply that fall and winter equals spring and summer?

Please. Don't be an idiot. Don't try to make it seem that people are saying things they clearly are not saying. You lose your entire credibility by idiotic assertions like this. It does no one any good whatsoever, proves nothing, except that you do not understand deductive thinking at all.

And by the way, please do not equate my attack on your lack of logical thinking with an attack on homosexuality. Got it? I'm gay. I don't need a misguided defender on my side.

I am sick and tired of people equating homosexuals and pedophiles. Just as many straight people as homosexual people do awful things....and guess what folks? It has nothing to do with what happens in the bedroom between two consenting adults.

Keith, what bothers me is the phrasing
"from homosexuality and pedophilia to sadomasochism and necrophilia."

Now, when one makes a comparison in a range, one usually compares the things at the end of the scale, "from freezing cold and snowing outside" to the things at the other end "to 100 degree weather and sunny."

So are we really saying the Huckabee scale of sexuality goes like this:
(0)Guys who like to do guys.
(1)Adults who lust after children.
(2)People into kinky sex.
(4)Sleeping with corpses.

WTF? Homosexuality and pedophilia as a group is not acceptable EITHER (nor is sadomasochism and necrophilia).

There is nothing wrong with homosexuality or BDSM (Google, if you have no clue what that means) Now, pedophilia and necrophilia, those are wrong (A child cannot give consent under US law, and a dead body can't even give consent because it's DEAD) And not every religion has an issue with homosexuality, and not everybody is religious.

Lets be thankful that Huck's views are the abberant ones. I know we haven't yet achieved equality, but most people in this country are reasonable and don't share his views on homosexuality. He's the outlier.

As to whether homosexual acts are sinful, well I suppose each religion has its right to determine what it considers to be a sin. But I think that organized religion, while it may have had a place in society several millenia ago, has no place now. No old man in a frock and skull cap is going to interpret someone else's interpretations of something somebody allegedly did or said 2000 years ago and tell me how to live my life. And no one in the White House is either. But, to play it safe, after all we always should be safe, let's make sure to vote for the right candidate.

Michelle wrote on December 19, 2007 8:48 PM:

Hmm... is the evilness and wrongness of the behaviour additive? So if I have sadomasochistic gay sex, does that add up to being as bad as necrophilia?

As for pedophilia... it's amusing how the Right-wing Conservatives can't say "homosexuality" without putting "pedophilia" in the same sentence. They HAVE to equate one with another. My theory... it's because half of them ARE pedophiles, and they can't separate their own evil doings from the people they want to condemn. Most of the gay people I know don't like children at all, much less lust after them.

Personally, I want nothing to do with children. Gee, that makes a gay relationship seem almost logical! Look! No abortions here! No birth control needed! No unwanted pregnancies! The churches should be delighted!

Anyway, back on the topic of pedophilia. In an act of pedophilia, there's an innocent victim. It's a horrible act of injury against am innocent person. In a normal homosexual relationship, there's no victim (unless you're roleplaying one... oooh, kinky!). There are two consenting adults who want to have a relationship, PERIOD. I can't understand why the bedroom activities of two consensual, loving adults are the business of the government, and I can't understand why marriage is only reserved for the couples deemed fit by the majority religion.

My religion allows gay marriage. Why doesn't that count?

Consider This wrote on December 19, 2007 8:57 PM:

Here's an interesting Libertarian take on things:

(First, to dismiss a red herring: The HuckChucks would not, when pressed on the matter, say that "homosexuality" -- i.e., a tendency, or as they would say, a "temptation" to want to have sex with same-gendered persons -- is wrong. They'd say that *giving in* to the "temptation" is wrong; i.e., you can want to have sex with a same gendered person, but you shouldn't do it.

So, I write off their use of the word "homosexuality" as a misnomer, as most people view "homosexual" as an *identity* rather than as an *action*. Anyway....)

HuckChuck puts gay sex, corpse sex, kid sex, and tied-up sex, on the same continuum. Perhaps they've got a point (excepting kid-sex)?

Gay sex, assuming it isn't rape, involves no violation of anyone's rights. (Consensual; e.g. Without Fraud or Threat of Violence = Rights Unviolated.)

Corpse sex obviously doesn't involve violating the rights of the corpse. Perhaps it's a violation of the property rights of the cemetery where you dug up the body? Not sure. But if it's a property-rights violation, that probably puts it in the category of vandalism or something. Yet I suspect the jail term would be rather longer than for, say spray-painting graffiti on someone's house. Hmm. Wonder why that is?

Kid sex can't obviously be consensual *unless* you're talking about older kids; then it gets gray. A four-year old obviously isn't consent-capable. But a fifteen-year old with a seventeen-year old? Or one of these fifteen year old boys getting busy with their school teachers?

And then, with Tied-Up sex; one assumes again that there's no rape. So, consensual; no rights violated.

Now, all of the above give me the creepy crawly heebie jeebies. If it were my kid, murdering the adult involved would not be out of the question. If it were the corpse of a loved one of mine, ditto. And the kinky sex, gay or otherwise, ain't my cup of tea: It fits in that category of activities I'd rather not know about, thanks very much.

But if the duty of the government is to prevent violations of the rights of individuals (and I believe it is) and punish those violations in proportion to their severity (seems reasonable) then, perhaps, these activities aren't so very far apart as far as *government* is concerned? (Again, excepting pedophilia, but THEN excepting the near-in-ages phenomenon, and maybe even the "Hot for Teacher" phenomenon.)

Of course, if you don't like this analysis, then you can take the HuckChuck view: All of the above are aberrant because they're icky; they are on a continuous scale of ickiness...with gay sex less icky than necrophilia, and pedophilia presumably in between (the younger the kid, the closer to necrophilia) and sadomasochism somewhere on the gay end of the range.

Got a problem with the above arguments? Then say so, in detail.

And, actually, speaking of "aberrations" and real immoralities, they're the most prevalent among homophobic heterosexistic bunch such as H(f)uckabee and his so called "Christian Right" ilk: rapes, incest, pedophilia, necrophilia, prostitutions... - the fact is that all these things are committed mostly by far by heterosexual men (especially, the ones who "prove" their heterosexuality through attacks, verbal and physical, against gay people).

And, to R.C.

It is part of gay oppression today that we are associated with pedophilia by people's selective logic, prejudiced generalizations, and manipulative rhetoric.

Dorothy Ellen Whitsell wrote on December 20, 2007 5:47 AM:

Many Christian churches since ancient times have been one of the biggest and most relentless purveyors of necrophiliac and sadomasochistic fantasies in the world, slavering adoration of naked crucified Christ statues and paintings, literature of his stripping, beating, torture and death in lip licking detail, similar lurid artwork and stories about martyred saints, obsessions with pieces of dead saint's body parts, and savage cruelties towards children in the form of beatings and threats of going to hell. Adults who corporally punish children are obviously getting thrills out it, some of the lowest scum on this planet and have always been plentiful in Christian churches.

The current situation is truly insane. Two adults in a loving committed relationship should be able to be married. Yet if they are same-gender they can't -- just because some heartless jerk of a bigot objects, while a male and a female who are total strangers can do so on a whim or for a joke can do so for no other reason but their respective sex organs.

Meanwhile a flippant bigot lumps millions of stable loving couples in with people who rape children. In a world that was not utterly insane, Huckabee, who approves of this incredibly unjust lunatic state of affairs, should rightly be regarded as a far worse embarrassment to the Repbblican Party than the similar sort of bigot who was caught in the horrendous crime of tapping his shoe in a public potty.

But to all those people who are blaming religion in general and Christianity in specific, you're over-generalizing. Christianity has some churches that accept homosexuality and don't try to change orientation- check out www.radicallyinclusive.com

Just because Mike Huckabee is an idiot who either doesn't know how to think for himself or he is ego-tripping and actually really believes homosexuality is a sin, that shouldn't discredit Christianity or religion as a whole.

But to everyone calling Jesus an imaginary friend and stuff like that, they lack total empathy. Plus, Jesus had nothing to do with Leviticus, and therefore nothing to do with talks on sodomy. Your point is irrelavent to the argument, nobody was saying anything about Jesus.

To everyone who isn't open to the supernatural or the divine: you're just as close-minded as a Creationist because you not only are getting too big for your britches when it comes to knowledge, but you also come off as holier than thou.

In response to the libertarian:
You're saying in a rights-violation point of view, homosexuality doesn't violate anyone's rights so in that it is connected to necrophelia and S&M.

So Ron Paul wouldn't give two shits about trying to stop these actions. That's correct: and Ron Paul is a REAL Republican.

Nambla must be thrilled. According to Huck, they are at least as good as gay people and necros...

Query to The Huckster:
Are married (heterosexual, of course) couples engaging in sodomy part of "aberrations" like "homosexuality and pedophilia to sadomasochism and necrophilia"? What about the obscenity of engaging in sexual intercourse (fulfilling their God-given role) while practicing birth control (obstructing their God-given role)? Just more examples to the breadth of the spectrum of deviancy?

Is Hucksterbee of that branch of the Baptist church that forbids having sex standing up because it might lead to dancing?I guess one can only hope that should hucksterbee actually get the goper nomination it will come out in the campaign that he's crazier than a shithouse rat.

If Huck is so intent on living Biblically, he should avoid all contact with menstruating women.

If you gonna pick and choose from Leviticus you got a whole lot of stuff to weed through.

"I am a homosexual necrophiliac", said Tom, in dead Ernest.

Question for Huckabee: If having sex with your wife is like having sex with a dead person, is it still "aberrant behavior"?

This rap on necrophilia is clearly a subtle jab at Fred Dalton Thompson.

That's gotta be the winner for most hilarious comment. As if Huckabee's phrase was even close to being understandable.

Except for sexual contact, all four really have nothing in common. Pedophilia isn't benign, and necrophilia, despite its obvious horrific nature, hurts noone.

I hope all of you wierdo's are not really what our nation has come to. This obviously isn't a serious forum. I think aberrant is a very nice way of putting it. If homosexuality was a natural expression of genes, it would burn itself out in a generation or two. There is an interesting book called "coming out straight". The author does a great job showing most homosexuality is caused by some sort of trauma early in life, or some sort of lack of authentic male leadership (for male homosexuality as an example). The problems in our society are largely a result of the degredation of the traditional family.

"Single moms" are heralded as heros fighting their way through a cold world where the odds are stacked against them, and if in the process their kids turned out screwed up, so be it.

How in the world can a sane person argue that a mother and a father in a loving home, bringing up their children with values (not some 'anything goes' sex drug and rock and roll philosophy), teaching their kids -gasp- 10 commandment principles... that there is something wrong with that? I can guarantee you those kids have a better shot at happiness in life. Sometimes single parenthood cannot be avoided, and it is up to the rest of society (friends, family, churches, etc) to jump in and help out. That can't happen now cause traditional families are now in the minority. Question: Of all of the prisoners in our country, what would be a common statement about their upbringing?

All of you who are for this sterilized, secular, 'find your own truth and values', 'if it doesn't hurt anyone it is OK', and all the rest of that BS... Go start your own country, maybe in Antarctica and you can go save the whales or seals or whatever.

My country, the USA, was founded in Christianity. Ever read the Declaration of Independence? Jefferson thought our rights came not from man, the governement, etc, but from a Creator. The only thing wrong with their thinking is that they couldn't possibly foresee the paths that anti-American institutions like the ACLU would take us down. They didn't know that eventually freedom would mean "do whatever with no consequences". Uncle Ben said it best "With great power comes great responsibility."

How many of you have been to help Katrina victims recently? Our chuch is going back--years after you all forgot about them. Ever been to a hospital for something? Did it say 'St' in the front of it? Heard of Harvard? Most universities started as a Christian college. How much have you given to your favorite local charity? Not some animal shelter...Lets actually try and help humans! Where does the standard for morality come from? From you, or you, or you? Without a standard to go by, nothing becomes aberrant. Any reprobate could be logically excused as "finding his own truths". All of you like trashing the Bible because of some OT laws that make no sense to you because you don't take time for proper study, applying hermeneutical principles to see what was being conveyed. If you did, you would see that God warned of keeping stuff that you describe above around because it would crash the society, like it is in the US.

Do me and future generations a favor and stay home in November.

Does the bible actually prohibit necrophilia? I can recall that it was forbidden for the priestly caste to touch a dead body. Beyond that, were there any restrictions?

I don't remember any restriction on cannibalism, either.
