Lately I'm noticing that the questions religious posters won't give a straightforward answer to say as much--or even more--about the posters as the ones they will answer, e.g., do you stand by your church's position on gay marriage? It's amazing the lengths to which some people will go, and the verbal contortions they'll employ, to avoid answering a simple yes-no question with a simple "yes" or "no."
