The most glaring aspect of this whole discussion is the contrast of Heather's other-centered attitude toward the needs of her kids vs the self-centeredness -"my rights" - of the same-sex advocates & LGBT crowd.

Well, gentlemen, if you read the article I posted, [URL=http://gawker.com/the-treason-case-against-the-last-u-s-taliban-hostage-1584613979]]]The Treason Case Against the Last U.S. Taliban Taliban Hostage, Explained[/URL] excerpt there from,
So, if you read the article that SA put up, as well as the one I have put up, you would have had many of your questions answered.
I was tempted to put up a much more blunt one, about that failed mother Sarah Palin of Tea Party fame, et al, [URL=http://www.salon.com/2014/06/03/wingnuts_war_on_the_troops_the_ugly_lesson_of_bowe_berdahl_and_sarah_palin/]]]Wingnuts’ war on the troops: The ugly lesson of Bowe Bergdahl and Sarah Palin[/URL], which I just now have.

At the end of the day Bono still has his millions and goes home to his estate,people need to remember that when people like Bono associate themselves with politicians to benefit the poor your money goes out of your pocket and his money stays in his,there are going to be plenty of people standing before God expecting credit for what they did with other people's money....I doubt it will fly.

Amazing grace..one man saved by the simple words,"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." What an awesome testimony of this man's salvation and the preacher who led him to Christ and he lived to tell it. One hundred years later, still being told and still touching lives, even on here for those who have never heard this story and are being touched by it.

Yes the man had an abundance of faults,but I find the contrast between the way people want to assume he is lost and want to assume others are saved,you can be a cross dressing child molester and people will say maybe you were saved in the end and rebuke anyone who says otherwise,but an obviously over zelous preacher with no respect for social and cultural norms....well he most certainly has to be in Hell.

Mr Phelps did not appeal to the flesh and we know what an unforgivable sin that is,we see leaders everyday caught in all kinds of scandals involving money,sex and corruption who have secured unshakable support with their used car salesman personalities, but God forbid anyone be accused of not soothing the emotions and sensitivities of the masses,to coddle and cuddle them and stroke their egos and make thenm feel good about themselves.
Mr Phelps was an accomplished civil rights lawyer,so much so that he received recognition from the NAACP but who has mentioned it.
I make no claims of knowing where Mr Phelps is now but should he be in a less desirable place I doubt it will be because of reasons most would assume..pity he did not have the charm of a Joel Osteen or a Benny Hinn for he would have received a much better reception in this life.

This really is insane. Why would that stupid hotel cave in to those stupid and insane atheists? If I was running that hotel I would have told those atheists to mind their own business and that I would continue to have Bibles in the guest rooms. Why would an atheist complain about the Bible being in the hotel room? The atheist is not compelled to read the Bible.

Not making an argument for or against old earth; but it depends on how one interprets "death". Did Adam die when he ate of the forbidden fruit as God warned him?
Just something to think about.

In the article it sounds like these young parents are being put off by financial concerns rather than parenthood per se. Todays young women are more geared in modern society towards careers than motherhood. Children have become a financial burden rather than a desired family. Looking back a few decades we see people when they were less well off still aspired to marriage, parenthood and family. But sadly the god of mammon puts financial predictions in a more influential position in todays young minds.
