[Re: an argument comparing a cure to homosexuality to a cure for being black]
I see that as a failed analogy, since being black is a cosmetic difference that has no inherent difference in behavior. If being black gave you an urge to perform socially unacceptable behaviors, you might have a point.
That said, if blacks made up only 3% of the population of the earth, I would see no problem in people proposing a "cure" for being black.

Aren't murder, rape, child abuse, etc. "socially unacceptable behaviors?" Since most of the murders, rapists and child-abusers in the U.S. profess to be Xian, maybe spartakos should be working on a "cure" for Xianity.
Hmm. I'm not sure I see this in itself as fundy.
You have a good point there Ens but the birthmark/race comparison is also fatally flawed. Your skin colour should be seen as a source of pride and a constant reminder of who you are and where you come from, whereas a birthmark is just a genetic mistake.

There IS a cure for stupidity, and Kent Hovind should be credited for it. He recommends eating peach pits. Which, as is even noted in the video posted earlier this month, contain cyanide.

Confused?
