The world is slowly evolving into a place where the things that we have seen as being taboo are starting to open up a bit more.

Partly what I'm writing about is the way taboos get toppled.

The secular argument, or the liberal argument, is to as much as possible remove taboos so things do not become unmentionable; to let some air into the discussion.

Today, fear of bloodshed is forcing us into recognizing new taboos: those of Muslims.

I don't think the idea of homosexuality is really taboo any more. Our culture is evolving. This is an exciting time to be living.

I'm drawn to the taboos that surround the human body. I find it fascinating that we are repelled by many of the acts and processes that keep us alive.

I believe that freedom of speech and freedom of religion go hand-in-hand in America.

America used to have a strong 'moral safety net' for its people. Today that net is badly frayed, not only because families are disintegrating but also because the church doesn't play the same role that it once did in many Americans' lives.

I'm not a member of any faith community, and I think faith is a deeply personal issue that individuals should deal with in their private lives.
