I don't mind the discussion, but I think the arguments on both sides are typically rationalizations. People have quick, visceral responses in which they form conclusions on these matters, then they think of reasons why those conclusions must be true. That process seems to happen in a lot of areas, but none more so than discussion of politics and morality. By the way: Thank you for your responses. I like how you've managed to be concise, civil, and probing.
