She said..."when we all die and go up to meet our maker..will there be separate rooms for the Catholics...the High Rollers (Pentecostals)..the Baptists...the Lutherans...Jehovah's witnesses...the Methodists???"

I kindly told her that I didn't think there would be such a plan because we are all human being. We're all from the same cloth.

Case in point: Every body has their own religious views of who their God is. I don't speak for everyone, but I have noticed that pretty much every one I come across does not like to be lectured on WHO their God should be and WHY. If you disagree...OK fine..you're entitled to your opinion and then SHUT UP!! You can not and will not force your opinions on any one in the Land of the Free.

If people choose to have Open marriages..be heterosexual..be bi..have multiple partners or whatever...you certainly are entitled to your views..you may give it..but that doesn't mean the other person will HAVE to accept it. You don't like it..tough..move on.

That's how I am..what I do..and how I do it and why I do it is my business. If you cant accept it, then I suggest you move on to some body else, because I wouldn't take it. If guys and gals want to go into strip bars and have the BEST fun there..more power to them!! If guys and gals are content with staying home and reading a book/knitting...more power to them!! In this land of Free...we're free to do what we wish. Some actions may have consequences..some actions may not. You always have a choice...choices equals consequences.

If people want to make choices that they believe will benefit them better...I'm all for it!!

My 2 cents


Especially about the part bolded in red.
