Interesting article about Dan Savage's talk about how most people have been ignoring the pro-slavery pats of the Bible for 50+ years so there's no reason to pay attention to the anti-gay parts.

"[T]he Old and New Testaments contain a total of 31,156 verses - of which over 5,000 deal with alleviating poverty, while not one verse deals directly with abortion or gay marriage. Yet those were the two issues [Jerry] Falwell branded the most important. He paid little attention to other moral issues like the death penalty, war, torture, health care or helping the poor. For Falwell, morality began and ended in his crotch." http://www.milforddailynews.com/opinion/x1987843539
