In other words, you're saying that God is going to rain fire
and brimstone down on every net site in the world to prevent
something that most Americans cherish as a God-given right...
the freedom to speak in public.

Note also, that God was willing to spare ALL the residents
of the famed sinfull cities if Lot could find just 10 honest
men who would believe.  Well, why can't YOU, mister critic,
extend the same kind of mercy to the net?

In fact the residents of Sodom and Gomorah commited a multitude
of sins... many of them very subtle.  Like the terrible crime
of not extending the hospitality of one's household to others.
Our present culture seems to have a fixation on the idea that
"sin" could only mean ONE THING... (gasp) S. E. X.

As for Leviticus... if you require us to adhere to just ONE
of the Levitican laws... then you'd better require them ALL.
After all, this is the word of God isn't it?  Read Leviticus
lately?  I doubt even the most orthodox Jew could satisfy
everything required here.
