At the very least, an institution that spent many generations oppressing science, creative/critical thinking, and taught us that the naked body is shameful (a backward and damaging mindset that persists to this day) is IMHO unworthy of passing judgement on any aspect of what is right or proper. That such are based on the word of some intangible and unknowable supreme being (as written by some rambling lunatic who claims to speak for it, perpetuated by any number of child-rapists in frocks) doesn't in any way enhance their legitimacy for me. So, while it might be your opinion that certain things are wrong or improper based upon your belief system, it is not necessarily what the majority of decent, upstanding people would consider 'against the grain' based upon a relatively advanced (by thousands of years) scientifically open-minded society's observations of the world around them; the real world. While opinions may be shared freely (and ruddy well should be, regardless - even yours, Jade) it can only be wrong to enforce (one of many conflicting) interpretations of a long-dead rule-set upon the generally more enlightened and capable masses of the modern world. Yeah, so a lot of them are incredibly stupid (as evidenced by any number of popular reality TV shows)... but I have some faith, though usually well hidden, in the animal we call the human race to make that judgement for itself.
