Our GLBT families AND children are SUB-American in Federal Law; we suffer NEEDLESSLY in times of crisis, disease, and death due to our legal exclusion from FAMILY LAW. I'm afraid YOU will have to pay OUR taxes from now on, until WE are equal.

Who cares what ass hole it came from, it cant possibly be very healthy, and how can they not have ingested at least a small amount of it? You are making an excuse for a clearly detestable act, to which your god is being accredited. Much like the many many time he (god) commanded genocide, rape, murder and slavery. I am sure you would say something like "God had a plan" "his ways are higher then ours" and all that jive. Oh, and lets not forget how pissed god gets when you call his prophet 'baldy'. Remember he sent some bears to rip apart a bunch of little kids for that one. Imagine being the parent of one of those kids, looking for the left over bits of your kid in bloody mud. Open your eyes, the god of the bible is mean and blood thirsty monster. Blind as bats you are Get over it, god told them to put shit on their faces.

I would wonder if any OTHER kind of thinking would be taken by you all as a threat, or attack. So what if this movie is not christian, you have your passion of the christ and what not. Why not let your kids see this movie, s--t may be they might actually THINK You call this an attack on christianity ?

First of all, its the dung of their offerings, not their children. Some versions translate this to be the entrails of the animals that were offered. Nevertheless, the reason was to disgrace the priests and to put them out of the camp, just as they would the dung and entrails of the animals used for offerings. This was God's admonishment to them (the priests) because they were not listening to Him. That is not what the verse says at all. First of all, its the dung of their offerings, not their children.

Just take a minute and read the history behind this. Its about what the founding fathers of our country fought so hard for. There are those today that want to erase those hard learned lessons from our history. It has nothing at all to do with my theology. Just take a minute and read the history behind this.

I know who Just Looking is and I have tried to reason with him online but finally determined that it is a waste of my time and serves no purpose. I have offered to meet him in person to discuss our differences but he just ignores those suggestions. Because of his comments I had to resort to moderating every comment before it actually gets posted on line. Thanks for the good words. I have been very busy recently and have not posted as often as I had planned. Look for some new posts soon. God bless.
