My favorite TV show these days is Modern Family. I think the brilliance of this show comes from the use of ambiguity in different contexts. The misinterpretations are timed perfectly so that words and behaviors are taken out of context, thus leading to some hilarious misunderstanding. Unfortunately, many of the misunderstandings in our lives are also "timed perfectly" in a way that doesn't always lead to so much laughter. But speaking of the matter, here's a quote I recently heard by Lawrence Krauss:
"If one believes that homosexuality is an abomination because it says so in the Bible, one has to accept the other things that are said in the Bible including the allowance to kill your children if they are disobedient or a validation of the right to sleep with your father if you need to have a child and there are no other men around and so forth."
How would you respond to this statement to put everything in its proper context?
