AITOOW thinks it's funny that religion/morality is often more capricious than ethics? It's supposed to be the other way around. However, a few century old prejudices (that really are subordinate or antithetical to the thesis) tied onto the belief system by man end up alienating potential believers and threaten its existence. These fringe overreaches (homosexuality, divorce, contraception et al) demote morality to a sub-ethical subjectivism. It's fairly obvious that although the Devil may be in these details, a benevolent (or even a vindictive Son of a Bitch) God is not. They are more than likely mis-interpretations, contrivances or conventions of ancient man. You obsess over these manifestations of Man to the detriment of the most important ideas of your Creator. Call it the USDA (United States of Deviant Americans) if you must. Just remember it may be a terrestrial author you are advocating for and not a higher authority.
