I don't know how I would strike it down. I don't know if I would keep sodomy laws on the books or not. I'm sure you know I think sodomy is wrong, but I don't think you can legislate some aspects of morality.

If I ruled the world? I would probably abdicate but if forced to choose laws, I would base laws on my own beliefs of what is right and wrong, after a lot of thought and talking with other people. I imagine you would do the same thing. Even tho I think the Bible contains the truth of the state of the universe, and therefore how humans can maximize their joy and fulfillment, I would still not legislate exactly to what the Bible says. After all, that would include thoughts, and obviously discerning thoughts is rather difficult! I would just come up with the best compromise I could, with the goal of what is best for everyone, according to my best understanding.

How 'bout you?
