Here's a novel idea . . . Arrest all the soccer moms rushing to pick up illegal immigrants to do the kind of household chores that our teenagers used to do before the precious little darlings discovered they were the center of the universe and too good to dirty their hands with such tasks.

What is Steve's (Sara's) true sexual identity? . . . Why in the world would it be any of your business? Do others have a right to decide what YOUR true sexual identity is? See how ridiculous that would be?

What do you wanna bet that the Tea Partiers who support unemployment cuts are all employed?

He's only modeling a t-shirt in the ad. Not underpants.

DP - I appreciate your response, for you did put a lot of thought into it. The bottom line is, you're making assumptions about all gay people based on behavior, not on our identity. Sure, gay people sin (especially men!) but sexual sin isn't who we ARE. Just because we're gay doesn't automatically categorize us as sinners. I think you would do well to get to know some gay couples, especially some...more

DP - I appreciate your response, for you did put a lot of thought into it. The bottom line is, you're making assumptions about all gay people based on behavior, not on our identity. Sure, gay people sin (especially men!) but sexual sin isn't who we ARE. Just because we're gay doesn't automatically categorize us as sinners. I think you would do well to get to know some gay couples, especially some long-time, Christian lesbian couples. They are very representative of who gay people are. Would you make sexual assumptions about them? If so, why?less

Do gays concern themselves with the personal sexual lives of all heterosexual Christians? . . .No? . . . Then, unless a gay person is sexually violating you, why have any of you a right to concern yourselves with the personal sexual lives of all gay people in the name of Christianity? . . . Goodness gracious! . . . If you're THAT MUCH against the gay lifestyle and gay marriage, then don't have AN...more

rlelln: I'm really enjoying your posts! Just sayin'

The abortion debate has certainly changed. I remember back in the 70s, no one in my local Baptist church (small town Texas) was really against abortion. I even remember overhearing a group of elderly women in the church talking and one of them saying, "Just think if abortion was illegal. Just think of how many more Mexicans there would be!" . . . .Isn't it amazing how racist some conservatives we...more

That they would be in fover of legal abortion in order to keep the minority population down. That's how it was back then, folks!less

I remember the days when 'social networking' consisted of passing handwritten notes in the 7th grade that said, "I like you a lot." . . . Things have changed.

When the New Testament books were written, it was a very common practice to write "in the spirit of" an author that one admired or had contact with. For example, 2nd Thessalonians was NOT written by Paul. This is pretty common knowledge, even in conservative seminaries.

It sounds pretty simple - - the Supreme Court will have to decide if she was a secular teacher or ministerial teacher. On another note, I would be curious to see if at any time did the school and the teacher have any dialoge about making reasonable accommodations toward her disability. That dialogue is as much the employee's responsibility as the employer's.

Any religion that claims its god sends billions of innocent people to experience eternal torture is truly sadistic and a religion that I would stay far, far away from. Especially from an ethical point of view, I would have NOTHING to do with a religion like that. I'm sure glad that being a follower of Christ doesn't require me to believe that.

How ironic that this female pastor is denouncing Ricky Martin, yet, by being a pastor she is choosing to ignore Biblical mandates (1 Tim 2:11-12). How typical. . . . Using the bible to condemn someone, yet not daring to follow it herself.

What's really disturbing is that many schools will probably get a football coach to teach this class. It wouldn't surprise me at all if that happened.

Let's see how you feel when you or your children can't get any medical coverage because of pre-existing conditions. You can thank Huckabee for that. How would you feel then? Frankly, it's one of the most vicious and anti-life platforms I've ever heard of . . . http://politicalcorrection.org/blog/201009170006

In downtown Chicago, there are SO many various groups soliciting "surveys" and requesting donations. I was recently approached by a Greenpeace representative and I told her I was in favor of removing di-hydrogen oxide from Lake Michigan. She seemed very interested until I explained that di-hydrogen oxide is actually H2O. . . . Sometimes, you just gotta have fun with these annoying people.

"Altes, a Baptist, introduced the legislation in December and stressed that it would be taught as a history course." . . . A history course? What an INSULT to biblical authors. I'd really like to know what sort of theological and biblical training Altes has completed.

Oh, so a few petitioners are nasty and suddenly, that speaks for all gay people. Get some perspective, folks! . . I was approached by a similar group in downtown Chicago and the young woman was very nice and polite.

However, when she asked for a credit card donation, I simply replied that I ONLY make donations if I initiate the contact (and I told her that she should follow my advice and do the same.) Giving my credit card number to a stranger on the street? Are you kidding me?? Don't ever do that.less

The vast majority of mental health professionals agree that these reparative therapies espoused by Exodus are ineffective and even harmful to individuals. Did anyone think that Apple decided to remove an app that endorses a practice that is HARMFUL?

Today, Fred Karger was the first Republican to file his candidacy for the 2012 presidential nomination. And guess what? . . He's gay!
