It really isn't fair that a decision that important was made without even asking the people who reside here what they think about it. Talk about taxation without representation!!! <br /><br />And before you ask, yes, I'm a Christian. That, and that alone gives me the power to forgive the idiots who made this decision and all the sinners who will take advantage of it, desperately grasping at anything that will make their sin seem right. <br /><br />You need to remember, though, that same sex marriage is like abortion: just because a nation ruled by sinners says that it is ok doesn't mean that God says it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-58062963260607298912009-04-27T10:45:00.000-04:002009-04-27T10:45:00.000-04:00I-35 will always be the best thing to come out of ...I-35 will always be the best thing to come out of Iowa.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-73023801767669873972009-04-07T15:14:00.000-04:002009-04-07T15:14:00.000-04:00Guys there is a great LGBT civil rights organizati...Guys there is a great LGBT civil rights organization called the Empowering Spirits Foundation. They are very creative in how they approach this hot topic issue of gay marriage, in that they engage in service oriented activities in communities typically opposed to equal rights to foster thought and change for LGBT equality.<BR/><BR/>A friend of mine told me about it and I thought it was a great, positive approach to the issue. We had so much fun at the last event and it was great to give back to the community. Plus it was great to converse with others on the other side of the table in a way that wasn't confrontational. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, this can be such a heated issue and I thought this was a unique approach.<BR/><BR/>http://www.facebook.com/pages/Empowering-Spirits-Foundation/49288966338allanrbrtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292055278447620329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-85987485987983227192009-04-07T10:55:00.000-04:002009-04-07T10:55:00.000-04:00Anonymous 1: I will refer to you as "Judas".

Shame on you for your hatred, unkind, mindless thoughts! It is your free will and choice to stand in judgment, but do not stand behind God. For if you truly believe in Jesus and his teachings he would be weeping more for you, and for your arrogance and aggressions. This world is full of enough hatred, murders, rapists, child molesters, which statically would be a heterosexual and some married. Clean up your divorce rates, homes, churches and prisons. And then stand in judgment of who I choose to commit my love/life too. If you truly believe, there are many more pressing issue to take to Jesus. Let other people live, love as they choose to "Judas". I'm certain Jesus still loves you."I Do"noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-9903096088531468692009-04-05T05:39:00.000-04:002009-04-05T05:39:00.000-04:00What's next Legalizing sodomy in the Boy Scouts?
