montims:
Slavery, in many countries and to many religions, was totally unacceptable
and offensive, and yet the United States still practiced it, and it took a
war (and books like Uncle Tom's Cabin...) to make them give that up, but now
most people in America accept that slavery is wrong.  Maybe this will help
other countries and religions accept that condemning a perfectly normal
impulse as sinful or disgusting is also plain wrong.
By the way - "best for everyone"?  Everyone???
