SOMETIMES BARNABAS MAKES REALLY GOOD SENSE...
For example, in response to the Supreme Court ruling on the Texas sodomy law:

Does this mean that I agree with the Chicken Little response of Focus on the Family, that the ruling lifts “the boundaries that prevent sexual chaos in our culture”? No. What boundaries? Where is the evidence that these laws have prevented sexual chaos? What have we been living in for the past thirty-five years, except sexual chaos? It looks as though some conservative Christians who have watched, and then participated in, the failure of law to prevent fornication, adultery, and illegitimacy, are still trusting in the legislatures to do their work for them. When have legal boundaries ever prevented sexual chaos? Ethical standards personally held, and religious discipline voluntarily submitted to, have limited success; laws alone, never. Link

And then he is advocating for stateless marriage -- that is for the government to get out of the marriage business. A bit on the libertarian side but it makes as much sense as the the crazy state of things now. Link
