  • I just cried as I read this horrifying story. I don’t even know how to live on the same planet as these monsters. The devil indeed has been unleashed. Now I really need that angel story…

  • 1) Christians are called to judge themselves. However, 1 Cor. 6:2,3 says “Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, matters pertaining to this life!”

    If someone is gay and not a Christian, it isn’t up to me to judge them. But if they claim to be a Christian, then yes, we are to encourage one another to follow the path of righteousness – which means surrendering our own will to God’s will for our lives. The Bible clearly defines homosexuality as being outside of God’s will.

    2) For those who say Jesus said nothing about the sin of homosexuality, you are misinformed. Read Matt. 11:23,24, Mark 6:11, and Luke 10:12 and 17:29. Obviously Jesus was well aware of what happened in the city of Sodom and did not take that opportunity to say to people, “Oh, by the way? That fire and brimstone stuff that happened that killed everyone in Sodom? It’s cool, now.” He used the example of what happened to Sodom as a way of comparing judgement, but judgement remained all the same.

    Christians do talk about other sins. For instance: lying, unforgiveness in their heart, the sins mentioned in Prov. 6, selfishness, pride… the list goes on. Chely is a beautiful woman with a beautiful spirit, but she is wrong in her spiritual understanding. As Christians, we are called to encourage one another in love and truth.

  • Well said!

  • You know what I’m tired of?

    “Hard Feelings Exploitation”

    Life isn’t fair. If those people in the video didn’t have that taught to them at an early age, someone should clue them in now. I’m beyond tired of idiots stirring up racial tensions because “it’s unfair” for someone. Since when were we guaranteed success in life? What does this say about all the achievers who came from different races who DID make a success of themselves despite differences or challenges?

    I don’t care what anyone calls it: if you’re not a success in life, it’s NOT my fault. I don’t owe you anything. If someone treats you badly, call them on it. We also have a legal system that already has plenty of non-discrimination laws in place.

    These types of PSAs do absolutely NOTHING for helping our country move forward. Enough with the resentments! Build a bridge and get over it!

  • Your flaw in the assertion: “Most churchgoers are, and have always been, Democrats.”

    Perhaps in the past, many churchgoers were Democrats, but that simply is not the case today. Your premise is flawed and as a result, the rest of your argument sank like a rock.

    Today, more Americans lean toward conservatism and those same people are for the most part, more religious than the Democrats.

    In a poll taken last year, the “very religious” were 19 POINTS more likely to identify themselves as Republicans!

    Party Affiliation Still Closely Tied To Religion:

    President Obama just managed to tick off a significant voter bloc, namely, the Catholics. Even many Catholics who voted for him in ’08 aren’t sure they’re going to do the same again. His administration’s blunder is going to cost him, big time. We now have other religions joining us in the fight and receiving their support for civil disobedience.

    The more liberalism/progressivism/socialism/marxism tramples on U.S. freedom, the more religious people will respond by voting Republican. The difference between Dark and Light are becoming more and more obvious. You need to choose a side. You need to think it through very carefully. Because once government destroys the freedom of religion, what’s next?

  • Amen, BlackDiamondSkier! I could not agree with you more.

    A Catholic man wrote a book awhile ago: “Can a Catholic Be a Democrat?: How the Party I Loved Became an Enemy of My Religion” The title says it all.

    There are some Catholics who love Obama. But these are the same ones who are pro-choice, believe in same-sex marriage, promote New Age practices, and a whole slew of anti-Biblical beliefs. We call them CINOS (Catholic In Name Only). Pelosi thought she’d sidle up to the Pope to get on his good side. I think the Pope respectfully read her the riot act. No photo op for SanFranNan!

    Some brave Catholic priests refused to give Communion to politicians who were pro-choice. I wish more would do this.

  • BikerDogRed1, ain’t it the truth. I was confronting a high school alumni on my Facebook page, asking her to tell me why she’d vote for Obama again. She tried her best to distract, but never answered the question. I kept asking.

    Finally, she replied, “It’s a secret!” What a moron. Seriously. I respect a person more if they own up to their convictions, even if I don’t agree with them. All it told me was that her vote for Obama was primarily an emotional one. There IS no reason to give this man another four years!! NONE!

  • Yesterday, all Catholics received an insert in their church bulletin. The title: “Why Conscience Is Important.”

    It’s shameful that a sitting President would trample upon one of the most basic rights of our Constitution and overall, attempt to crush freedom. In the insert, it says this in bold (all caps mine):

    “This is a matter of whether religious people and institutions may be FORCED by the government to provide such coverage even when it violates our consciences.”

    Everyone knows by now that the issue of forcing religious institutions to provide contraception in their healthcare packages to employees IS NOT primarily about contraception. It’s about FORCING religion to do the bidding of the government. Contraception was the fuse but the true “dynamite” is government control.

    For those who would like to read the insert in its entirety, go here:

  • Cecile Richards is married to a labor organizer for the SEIU. Is that a frightening combination, or what?!!

  • I wanted to add this:

    As for forced gratuity, I never did like it. However, large groups are notorious for having a few who think they shouldn’t tip at all. One time I was with a small group (just four of us) and one in our group was from the U.K.. She asked if everyone could give her cash and she’d pay the bill with her card. We did (and I included my tip). As we were leaving, the manager came rushing toward us with the waitress. I was the last one and they almost tackled me saying we didn’t leave a tip! I made a very big deal about calling out the U.K. woman and said she needed to come back inside. I then told her that she needed to leave a tip, especially since we all paid her with tips included. She tried to act like she didn’t realize what was going on but I knew she did. I was so steamed at this selfish idiot. I then avoided her for the rest of the night.

    It would be a perfect world if everyone realized that a good tip could be between 10% – 20%, depending on the service. Even if I get bad service, I’ll still leave a tip, at a lower percentage.

    Here in my state, waitresses and waiters make $3.85 per hour without tips. That’s about an average cash salary. This is why they truly depend on tips to bring the hourly wage up to about $7.70 an hour.
