Walter, you aparently have a difficult time with reading. My point
was that if you were unable to infer the reasons for his monogamy from 
his post and your life experience, then You are either very stupid,  or
you believe that the only reason for monogamy is religion.

Well gee, my copy of the bible says that homosexuals are to be put to 
death. (or, at the very least, gay men.) Are you telling me that you don't 
believe in the bible?

Have you been following the news lately walter? All sorts of anti-gay
legislation is being proposed in many different states. Persecution
begins with suchminor, insignificant things.

Perhaps you would not kill homosexuals yourself. I am sure this holds
true for most people. But you give every apearance of being someone
who thinks that the world would be a better place without homosexuals.

By the way Walter, you seem to have assumed that I am homosexual.
On what basis do you make this assumption? Perhaps you feel that only
a homosexual could be angered by such subtle gay bashing as you 
practice. This to me is the surest sign that you are a bigot.
