Congrats to all the front pagers!<BR>
And Kirk, thanks for the front page pick; that piece means a lot to me and I was thrilled when I saw it on the front page.

Here we go again; I just read a quote the other day where one of the early popes said that Christianity was the only tolerated religion. Nothing else would be tolerated. He was probably had fun killing all the non catholics. Then of course there were the Crusades and every other king and queen and Medici pope that changed the religion of the time and or killed all others that were not in the Club...e-gads people just look at history and see how many people have been killed in the name of JESUS. People are savages when they have rigid ideals that leave no room for any other way. This country was founded on Freedom of Religion, Freedom of SPEECH. This is why we are here, we got kicked out of Europe or FLED to the freedom that is still Savage (With GB in office) and the fundamentalists all telling us we are LOST. Open your blinders before it's too late.<BR>

BK,<BR>
It's obvious that you are passionate about your beliefs, why not have tolerance for others, yes even those church goers?   <BR>

If the best PR Jesus can get is our born-again "commander-in-chief" and people like yourself, Mark, then we have the answer to why Christianity isn't yet a world-dominating faith. As I've consistently found, authoritarian-types are drawn to religions that reflect their own twisted worldviews. True, Christians aren't crashing planes into buildings - yet. But I suspect that as the culture wars intensify - and those on the religious right find themselves increasingly on the losing side of history - we may see a subtle change in tactics... Question: How do you manage to live a sane life in the South, BK? I served my time there and, let me tell you, it wasn't easy. Oh, and Mark - I thought you weren't coming back to this site? I can see your word still means as much as it always has. Enough of alla that, however. Congrats to the Front-Pagers, though I will reserve my criticisms about how I was once AGAIN shafted. What...no "Black Side of Town"? Kirk, don't you think a SONG would have been an interesting change of pace? And a brilliant song at that?! Questions in the wind... Cheers, kiddies! ;)

Sushi, maybe if you posted the lyrics AND a link to an MP3, it would be more likely to catch my attention as blender-keeper. Like I said, it was a really good month, and the specific lyrics didn't do a ton for me.

bk ~ why is it that everyone has to listen to your crap on your beliefs and are expected to tolerate you...yet you can't seem to be tolerant of others...when i first started on the blender you and sushi were two of the crudest persons on welcoming others...you both are very talented writers...however make it uncomfortable for others...maybe kirk needs to look at that...could that be why the submits are down...that some are not welcoming of new comers...

Chris,<BR>
tried sending you an email from Yahoo. Hope this works. I'm at work. Arthur showed me how to access the Internet. Oh my god...Arthur tells me the Celexa I gave him almost killed him!!! He got deathly ill at his ex's on Saturday and she thought he was playing for sympathy. He was passing out and crawling around on the floor. So he and Michael were not able to do any editing on the Barbie scene. That's how sick he was. I feel horrible. I'm so stupid.<BR>
<BR>
Thank you for the blueberry donuts and the lunch money. I don't know if Arthur will want to eat lunch with me after this. I am evil. See you in the morning.<BR>
<BR>
hugs and kisses,<BR>

Get out the cross, I'm getting NAILED AGAIN...ha PAY ATTENTION The issue is Love, (for all of mankind) It's not the general standing in his military uniform spouting that our God is mightier because we're Christian and you're not (that gives us the right to kill you) That the president of the United States thinks he can amend the CONSTITUTION of all things to exclude gays from marriage. (What a crooked way to get the passions vote) And yes it's PMS week so burn me as a WITCH....hahahahah<BR>

LADYINWAITING; Please quit taking me out of context. If you post an opinion here it does not matter whether you are an oldie, newbie, inbetweenbee, Kirk or God herself WE ALL have a right to an opinion. Why do I never have the right to mine? Geeze I always worry about people that need to censure or can't hold their on in a good debate. Come back with something valid or sit under the porch with the little dogs.<BR>
