No snickering from the religious!
Okay, no vote for the LP from me in 2016.
Although  I was expecting a Santeria/Voudoun connection, not a fake Nordic one, when I clicked on it.

Well, this is embarrassing.

Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

That's the key.  Rather a wry lark, I think.

Some people just have too much time on their hands...

Well, but if you have a day to knock off in idleness, what a fun outing!

Actually I thought it was a hilarious mockery of Terry Jones and that type. At least, I hope it was.

Any takers to Coyne's challenge?

Scott Lively might take issue with it.

This guy

But note he thinks the death penalty is "too harsh".  He would not be throwing people off roofs.

Oh then Daverz's comment really is fatuous. The challenge was, will anyone deny these men's action were motivated by their religion, Islam. Why would Lively deny that? He's more likely to praise them for that.

Lively gives what he considers socialological arguments that don't refer to religion.  Which is why he says he is fine with gays who practice homosexuality discreetly (ie, hide in the closet), he just doesn't want them marrying and strutting down the street .
So Lively would object.
Myself, I agree with Coyne. The arguments of the type Lively presents ignore the fact that heterosexual marriage was the best type of marriage in preceding generations because it was the only type allowed.
