Interesting religious development

The highest legal body in Conservative Judaism, the centrist movement in worldwide Jewry, voted yesterday to allow the ordination of gay rabbis and the celebration of same-sex commitment ceremonies.

This action rather undermines much of the fundamentalist Christian argument in regards to homosexuality.  If Jews don't accept the very literalistic and limited interpretation of the Jewish "Bible" that fundamentalists are trying to put forward, then the fundamentalist argument isn't all that solid.
