    Anti-Gay Sentiment Surprise. An "Ugh" rant.

    Thanks for the explanation fitlulu. Do you believe in every word of both the Old and the New Testament? And I have to disagree. Labeling homosexuality a sin is both a judgment and a condemnation. Ask any gay person and they will tell you this. Because you still "love" them doesn't really...

    Anti-Gay Sentiment Surprise. An "Ugh" rant.

    Nyx, you and Fitlulu both said you are "Bible-believing Christians". Can you explain this term? Thanks! Nyx, thank you for describing your faith. I have another question, you talk about doubt, and how you don't feel that it's a sin for you to doubt. I agree! I think doubt is essential to...

    Anti-Gay Sentiment Surprise. An "Ugh" rant.

    Amen, A-jock! What a great comparison! That awful, backward, child-abusing FLDS sect has resumed its crimes against those unfortunate enough to be born within their prisons/compounds. And yet! The government continues to interfere in the private lives of peaceful, contenting adults. Why oh...

    Anti-Gay Sentiment Surprise. An "Ugh" rant.

    And this is the heart of the disagreement. You see it as a "choice" and a "sin", we don't. It's an impasse. Of course, you are entitled to feel this way (though I think it's really sad and unfortunate, since it alienates those who feel otherwise, and make us perceive you as judgmental...

    What are you reading?

    I read this over the summer and LOVED it. An amazing book. I just finished Nick Hornby's latest book, "Juliet, Naked". It was a great read!

    need advice in-law troubles

    I thought this was an insensitive post. I don't think the OP is being petty like you say; rather she is upset about the pettiness around her, so soon after a death which she is still processing... Janie, you've gotten some great advice. You are clearly mourning and maybe you are trying to...

    high iron levels??

    Have I offended you? :o My dad was diagnosed with low iron and told to take iron pills by his doctor. After a colonoscopy, they ruled out major problems (bleeding due to cancer) and attributed it to a major back surgery he had a year previous, before which he gave 4 units of blood in case...

    high iron levels??

    Another quote, with some other symptoms...I noticed you talked about your heart rate... Symptoms of iron overload are gastric pain, hair loss, irregular heart beat, joint pain, frequent infections, fatigue, skin discoloration, and elevated liver enzymes. If iron overload or anemia is suspected...

    high iron levels??

    Too much iron is toxic, while borderline low iron never killed anyone. I'd stop taking the iron now if I were you. Being anemic does not necessarily mean that iron is low, some people are anemic and have iron overload, so taking iron to cure anemia can be a mistake. I think you need some...

    Anti-Gay Sentiment Surprise. An "Ugh" rant.

    I have no idea how we are now talking about MJ's autopsy! :) Anyway, I don't want to insult any Christians reading this by suggesting that they are unenlightened about this issue. I completely and vehemently disagree with anti-gay sentiment, whether it is religious in nature or otherwise, but...

    Where have I seen this before? HELP!

    Where have I seen this before? HELP!

    I tried googling for you and didn't find anything. But I did find this. And I think it's HILARIOUS! :)

    Anti-Gay Sentiment Surprise. An "Ugh" rant.

    I know what you mean Laura! I hate, well, hatred and intolerance and I find it completely wrong and immoral. But it's legal to hold these views and to speak out about them, and I think it should be. I don't think we should have a "thought police" or try to legislate "morally correct" thinking...

    Anti-Gay Sentiment Surprise. An "Ugh" rant.

    This discussion reminded me of false rumors being spread by the religious right, especially when it comes to hate crime legislation. Churches have the right to choose who they will and won't marry. It's not currently a crime to preach hate against groups already covered by federal hate crime...

    Anti-Gay Sentiment Surprise. An "Ugh" rant.

    Well, I think I overstepped my bounds in imagining how your parents would vote. I'm sorry about that! :o I should have used some hypothetical people to make that point. My parents have mellowed too, like soooo much. It's really amazing--we have so much in common now! :D
