I really don't care if anyone edits their own views --- English or Not. I trust in God's perfection and not in that of humans. I had both French and Spanish. I do not practice either. It does seem to be a trait among some individuals, that when they feel threatened or unable to come to grips with views contrary to their own, they proceed to nitpick spelling, grammar, etc. Their point seems to be, if a person makes an error, he must be stupid and nothing he says is of any value. I do not subscribe to this logic, but sometimes I may bring it to someone's attention who has been dishing it out. I find that they usually do not take it very well --- no matter how lightly intended.

why do you believe, or at least think, that sex is a right?

Thanks, LittleNipper. :) I'm probably taking it a little too deep, but that reminded me of a analogy of shadows...
"Plato has Socrates describe a gathering of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall by things passing in front of a fire behind them, and begin to designate names to these shadows. The shadows are as close as the prisoners get to viewing reality. He then explains how the philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall do not make up reality at all, as he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the mere shadows seen by the prisoners." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_Cave

moksha wrote:Three good stories with the moral punch you are looking for are found in Three Tales (Trois Contes) by Gustave Flaubert. My favorite of the three is The Legend of Saint Julian the Hospitalier.
In the tale A Simple Heart, the Holy Ghost takes the form of a pet parrot. If you are a confirmed Conservative you might ask, "why not the form of an American eagle"? Well, the answer is simple: Flaubert was French.
I briefly looked into them and they look good, thanks for the suggestion, Moksha.
