Because our country's moral values are at risk.

Protestant view hands down. And I'm living proof, so there.

Well, cool.

It's just the issue of not-changing = sin.

Temptation isn't a sin.

Giving in to temptation is.

Just because there are bigger problems (abortion, hee hee), it doesn't mean we should ignore the others.

Because it's not as pressing an issue. Homosexuality is never okay. Oral sex is okay in marriage -- nothing forbids it in the Bible, so who are we to add restrictions. Also, there's not numerous political and religious movements centered around oral sex. If they're not using oral sex as their weapon of choice, then it won't do us any good to address it.

So no, oral sex isn't a pressing issue at all. And it's especially not one equally pressing as homosexuality.

Blame some of the liberal justices for banning some red state statutes that prohibited sodomy and fornication.

Oh, yeah, I am. Of course, there are others. Many, many others.
