I do. God wants ALL his children to live as equals. That was Jesus' message. Who cares about a freakin' door? I want equal pay and equal status. The door opening is so totally irrelevant. SEZ YOU. It's ok for you to disagree. I feel sad for you as a woman, and I will say all I can to...

NO - we do not have to respect an opinion which holds 1/2 of the population as subjugate to the other, nor do we have to accept it. I may not be able to change your point of view, but I pay taxes and vote in this country just like a man and I expect the laws and practices of this country to...

I already told you, I AM boiling it all down to just one thing you said because I think the rest is a bunch of lies you tell yourself to make it sound like saying something like this isn't so bad.

Always take depression seriously - and suicide threats seriously. Encourage her to seek help and be there for her.

Sometimes I think my cats understand when I talk to them. Do pets seem to understand when you sign to them too?

Yes, I CAN and DO decide what I think of other people and their motivations, but I didn't say anything about false happines. That was Rose who said that. I have very little personal anger toward anyone. I am happily married to a man, one who does not subjugate me, and certainly one who does...

We get your point Heath - we just don't agree with it. You want to believe in a God who magically swoops down and kill innocents, you go right ahead.

It's not my view of YOU personally, it's my view of the old tired paradigmn you are trying to defend. Only YOU can make YOU look bad. I feel sad for women who agree to be second class in thier own homes, but it is their right. I am just not going to sit here and say I think that's great.

Liebling, to me you have made the bold step to develop your own relationship with God and discover for yourself what works for you and what doesn't work. Personally, I applaud this, and I think it's the only real way to go. I see a lot of people who can quote the Bible chapter and verse but...

You can dance around the issue all you want, and dress it all up to make it look pretty, but what it comes down to for you is statements like this. There is nothing more heinous to me than using the Bible to justify subjugation or domination - in this country we used it to enslave blacks and...

There are usually guidelines for releasing a patient into police custody. If they are stable enough to be transported to the jail infirmary or secured ward at another hospital, it's unpleasant, but it's probably entirely legal. His family has a good case for cruel and unusual...

Yep - not getting the point. I give up.

If he agrees that the woman must be subordinate or submissive - I have news for you - he looks down on her. Many men who hold this point of view don't want people to think "he looks down on her" because that sounds bad. They want people to think it's a good thing for half the world's...

What a shame. Here is this strong, vibrant, intelligent child of God who denies what she can see in herself in favor of some old bs paradigmn of male superiority. How very sad.

Now I am utterly convinced you missed the point. This is our Constitution: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble...

You have got to be joking right? Are you really not getting Teresh's entire point? She's not talking about being the new kid at school. She's talking about the socioeconomic isolation, oppression and even persecution that can happen to people of a minority faith when the state engages in...

I am not suggesting it's a one-sided issue, but the Palestinians are not the ones in power. When we see religious states come to power, we always see oppression of other religious groups. No matter what justifications the state of Israel might make, it is incredibly difficult to live and...

There is no such thing as weight gain for no reason. There are only a few things that cause weight gain - increased calorie intake, decreased calorie burn, decreased metabolism or a medical condition. You will find almost any reputable weight loss program suggests you see a doctor first...

Unless you're Palestinian of course, then you might have trouble even getting from point A to point B with all the checkpoints and other opressive tactics... It only serves to illustrate - when the state gets into the religion business, someone always loses. It's just a matter of how big...

The word "Pentateuch" comes from the word "penta" which means "5". Pentateuch basically means "a text of 5 parts". It would not be of Christian origin per se, but it is how Christians technically refer to the first 5 books of what is now the Old Testament.
