The overwhelming majority of people are telling me that my fiance and I are too different. It isn't just you guys--it's my friends in the "real world" too. I have spent months now adamantly arguing why I think we still should get married, despite our many differences.

Do you think there are specific issues we should feel the same way about, or is it different for everyone?

FYI, I love him VERY, VERY much.

more violent than that of Mohammed, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and Bin Laden? Doesn't the entire world suffer when a head of state swallows a religious cult by subverting it or making it law? Isn't the Deism of the American Revolution a subversion of Christianity as first performed by Constantine?

Sobering, apocalyptic talk from President Bush yesterday. During a press briefing at the White House, the President was asked about Vladimir Putin's visit with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Tehran and the threat posed by this emerging Russian-Iranian nuclear alliance.
The President warned that World War III could break out if Iran gets nuclear weapons. As the President was speaking to reporters at the White House, I had the privilege of speaking to a group of military leaders at the Pentagon on what Putin's historic and unprecedented trip to Iran means, and how Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's eschatology is driving Iranian foreign policy. The event was off-the-record, meaning I'm not at liberty to share who was in the meeting or any of the specific details. But I can tell you that I gave a condensed version of the same information I've been speaking about publicly in recent weeks. I will be speaking on the same topic on Capitol Hill today with a group of Congressmen..Thoughts?

Aside from getting me to waste 5 points and write this, why, why do they insist on reading this section with their tool in one hand, the Bible in the other and their nose on the keypad?

I have to assume people who insist that they are saving the world one soul at a time in the GLBT Forum here are getting a gooey trill when they write that Gay Sex is A SIN and UNATURAL and BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!

Has anyone ever seen the book And Tango Makes Three?

Has anyone ever studied Bonobo Monkeys?

There is absolutely NOTHING unnatural about 2 people having sex...any sex.

What IS unnatural is the need to tell those people they are wrong!

So what is the thrill they get from it? Sticky shorts?

Seriously. Any ideas? Cause I don't have a clue.

All Christians are not all uptight and weird. I am a Christian and a Chatholic(yes I know some people will think that is horrible and I probably am stuck-up). I am a simple person that goes to work part time, goes to college, and goes to church on sundays and prays. I know many people like me and I am from North Dakota. There is many from small towns that are the same as me that do every day stuff and love God and America! We are not the enemy, so don't make us that!!! Please respect the people that love God and just want to live their lives in peace. We let you do the same.

Any one got the slightest bit of evidence, and I mean real evidence that would stand up in court or can be scientifically proven. Not a load of quotes from any religious texts please. Thanks.

Why is it that Republicans hate Mexicans who cannot speak English but love presidents who cannot speak English?

Of course, there are a lot of people in this country, legally or illegally who cannot speak English. Why don't Republicans ever complain about them either?

Why does Republican hatred of non-English speakers only apply to Mexicans and why do Republicans assume that anyone who speaks Spanish is an illegal immigrant?

...due to the erronious belief that homosexuality is a learned response in all cases, then why do they stop there. Why do they not polygraph perpective parents and teachers for signs of cheating on their taxes, adultery, and even driving infractions? Some of these things are actually dangerous and/or harmful. In addition these behaviours can really be modelled, as opposed to homosexuality. Face it if this modelling applied to homosexuality then there would be no homosexuals coming from straight parents. Perhaps my believe that sexuality is a natural trait we are born with is correct?

Do you celebrate Halloween or All Saints Day? Does your church hold an alternative "Harvest Festival" to give families an alternative activity?

I've read about a new DVD that traces the pagan origins, history and rituals of Halloween. The occult rituals seen in this film are real and not re-enactments. This dramatic documentary may change many opinions on Halloween!

This is going to seem like an inconsequential question, and in the grand scheme of things i suppos it is.

Was he a good carpenter? Did he like it?

I only ask this because many of the old Daoist masters and Buddhist sages did hold down other types of jobs on the side. At times, what they did exemplified the manner in which they taught.

And you can tell a lot about a person from the way they approach their work.

THE Federal Government believes wearing Islamic scarves should be banned at Australian airports, senior government sources have revealed.

Under the radical security proposal, even the most inoffensive Muslim scarf, the hijab, which covers a woman's hair and neck, would be banned, along with several other types.

Security officials are especially concerned by two other very concealing types of scarf, the niqab and the burka.

Former British cabinet minister Jack Straw sparked controversy some time ago when he said it was best that Muslim women did not cover their faces when they met him.

And France banned Islamic headscarves at schools in 2004, a move that also deeply offended Muslims.

The scarf policy is under active consideration in Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews' office, which is consulting with airport security officials over the policy.

It comes after the Government moved to restrict immigration from Sudan.
