Society & Culture - 25 July 2006

Maybe those that are political do have a self-interest, but the average layperson who believes the Bible and wants to share it seems to provoke accusations of self-interest from all sorts of insecure people. If I'm supposed to get a commission for each soul that gets "converted", then I'm getting hosed here. Isn't it up to the Holy Spirit to convict people of their sin, not the believer who shares his/her beliefs?

I just watched bad lads where a number of petty criminals are thrown back in 1950s style national service in Britain, eventually this regime reveals the fact that all the "criminals" are just deep down normal people with just a few problems..eg.sploilt, communication problems, poor people skills, unable to express. The programme seems to sort them out and make decent fellas of them.

If they were suppossed to enchroach on 'rock n roll' then The Good Lord should've gifted them with some songwriting talent. They should give back the guitars and drums and stick to the Church Organ and maybe a tambourine.

Is she really that transparent?Is she really that uniformed and uneducated about everything?Did you know that in some of her questions and/or answers she actually suggests that there is a direct link between being gay and STD's?Or that being gay means a shorter life?As if though straights are not affected by any STD's and have only the longest of lives..Just as long as they are straight...I am serious!Everytime I see anything posted here from her it is propoganda of the most meanest and ill-informed type with nothing to back up her words other then more propoganda.

Is she for real?

I am 38 yo, and have had only 2 long term relationships, one with my wife 10 years and now with my partner for 2 years, He is a great guy, enlightened , gentle, caring and intellegent and in love with me. I don't think that I am in love with him and sometimes feel that i am using him, just becasue he makes my life easier, more stable. I could stay with him forever, but i feel like I am missing somthing big, I think about leaving him every day. Do you think I should leave him.

A drunk was staggering down the main street of town. Somehow, he managed to make it up the stairs to the cathedral and into the building, where he crashed from pew to pew. He finally made his way to a side aisle and into a confessional.

A priest had been observing the man's sorry progress. Figuring the fellow was in need of some assistance, he proceeded to enter his side of the confessional. His attention was rewarded only by a lengthy silence.

Finally he asked, "May I help you, my son?"

"I dunno." came the drunk's voice from behind the partition. "You got any toilet paper on your side?"
