Linkmania -- understanding other perspectives

[davetheinverted]

I know that most of my Linkmanias are pretty throwaway...this one has considerably more substance and is probably worth your time to look through.

Same-sex marriage:

Much of the way the two sides on the same-sex marriage issue seem to be talking past each other comes down to different concepts of what marriage fundamentally is and what its purpose

I remember the same-sex marriage article kicking around a while ago. It was an interesting read. Same for the mosque article. I guess it makes sense, thinking of profaning the sacred. I tend to think sacred is relative, but that's counter to the definition.

I didn't realize Sam Harris was on the warpath, again.

Interesting articles; definitely gave a different perspective to consider, and a better ability to understand. Unfortunately, I tend to deal with those whose views are shaped by religious fervor, however misplaced. Thank you for the expanded world view.
