Will come as the result of global climate change whose effect, though already on the way, have yet to hit the fan as the proverbial excremental aphorism describes.

But if you're interested in figures regarding how many children will die because we move toward alternative energy, I'm sure the Center for the American Experiment will be more than happy to supply you with those figures,...

Posted on 05/15/13 at 07:53 am in response to Dayton signs marriage-equality law on Capitol steps

For all of those of us who trust that God has created our GLBT brothers and sisters the way God intended them to be, this is a no brainer. Indeed, their joy at the legalization of same-gender marriage is OUR joy!

But there are those who, like the "prodigal son's" brother, refuse to share in the joy of those who are being welcomed home into society.

For those who have been raised to believe that God is so sick and twisted as to create an entire group of people who, if they...

Posted on 05/14/13 at 01:27 pm in response to Same-sex marriage: And today it'll be law

The problem Mr. Westrom, et al, have with gender neutral language is based on the way gender stereotypes were pounded into their hearts and minds by the people who raised them.

The more someone has had to ignore the way God made them in order to shoehorn themselves into what their families, communities, clergy, etc., thought of as "normal,"...

To oppose polygamy as opposed to monogamy (regardless of gender).

It is, however, interesting to note that the Hebrew Testament of the Bible contains a rather large and glaring amount of polygamy.

As has already been said, the GRAD test did NOT accomplish the purposes for which it was designed.

The math portion, which had not yet been fully implemented could probably not have been passed by the vast majority of adults in the state except those working daily in science and technology fields,...

Posted on 05/10/13 at 09:54 am in response to Reports detail Minnesota's historic gay-marriage vote

That when the national civil rights bills were passed, they (in the terms used by NOM) classified the vast majority of people in the southern states as "bigots," too.

Somehow, that did not stand in the way of the REAL issue involved: JUSTICE for those who had been previously been denied just treatment by their fellow human beings.

Over the years that followed, some of those people have come to see their black brothers and sisters as fellow human beings, some of them have not....

Posted on 05/09/13 at 03:40 pm in response to Opposing same-sex marriage has made Pastor Jerry McAfee a lightning rod

Which can arguably be interpreted to raise issues with GLBT folks (although none of them mention women, or transgendered folks, nor was there any understanding that there were anything but "straight" people in the world, 2,000 years ago).

The Bible also contains more than 700 verses which speak of God's love, command God's people to act lovingly toward one another, and even command God's people to love their enemies and pray for those who seem to be persecuting you.

It would...

Posted on 05/09/13 at 09:37 am in response to Union files grievance over Minnesota State Mankato coach's firing

profit mongers continue to spend millions to protect their ability to destroy our planets ecosystem and damage our collective future.

How is it, exactly, that they will explain to their grandchildren that they decided to severely damage if not destroy our planet's ability to support life as we currently know it,...

just because they could make a lot money doing it?

How will they explain to their descendants "We destroyed your life because we wanted to be rich."?
