OH! A man who stirs up in me feelings like I could be physically capable of beating the crap out of him: JAMES DOBSON. Damn I hate that asshole.

Well, Bush for one. Pat Robertson for another. Scalia right behind 'em. Clarence Thomas would jump on his own to follow Scalia.

That's right Jessica! No one here will be applying the blood of Jesus Christ over you and and your family! Somebody actually said that in a post and all I could think was eeeeeewwwwwww......
I was sorry to read that you will not be able to get the surgery but both you and your partner are taking decisive action and doing well so far! Your girlfriend's 100 pound loss is an amazing accomplishment! I couldn't have done it! That takes a lot of strength. Please keep us updated how both of you are doing!
I hope this forum will be a place where independent thinkers will come to talk about WHATEVER including those opinions that might get us flamed elsewhere on this board.
Topic: Thought for the Day -- SO TRUE!
Some people are like Slinkies.
They're really good for nothing.
But they still bring a smile to your face
when you push them down a flight of stairs.
Ok, so how many people did you think of flying down the stairs when you read this?
Topic: RE: Bush declares "Katrina Prayer Day"
I get so frustrated by people trying to explain what they can't understand with religion. My dad died when I was 14 and if one more person (even at 14) said it was god will, I was going to punch them! Religion is a coping mechinism and easily explains to people what they can't bare to put into perspective.
Topic: RE: I am so happy!!!
What a great idea to suggest this messageboard. We need a place where we can be free from those who simply take for granted that all of us want their prayers, and all of us believe in their god.
I've always been a thinker...to simply take a book at face value, and quote it every time I want people to find validity in what I'm saying....it just doesn't do it for me.
Thank you for pushing and getting this site here for us.

What a great place for those of us who are simply OVER reading all the "God led me to this place," and "I'll pray for you..."
For me, this time in my life is about taking control of my own inner addict, and changing my life for the better. I'm a lesbian, in a relationship with my very best friend. We've got a doggie, a kitty, and two teenagers. My partner and I have both been denied surgery, so we've taken it upon ourselves to try the Adkins diet. It's working for us. She's down 100# since January, and I'm down 40 since June. We're doing it, like everyone else: one day at a time! I'm sure I'm gonna love this place. Honest, grounded thinking. No Jesus freaks. No one sending me prayers, and praying for my soul...
I'm ready to talk to people who are independent thinkers. You're my kind of people!

When all else fails, our government turns to Christianity. You know, the separation of church and state...

Topic: Bush declares "Katrina Prayer Day"
I've read that Bush had declared the 16th (or was it the 15th) to be "Katrina Prayer Day." What kind of message does this sort of thing send? It feels like a diversionary tactic to me. Like our government can't do it all so they have to ask for divine intervention. I was really disgusted when the governor of Louisiana called for a day of prayer back on the day after the levees broke. Like that was the best thing she could come up with in the middle of a major crisis when her state needed LEADERSHIP and DECISIVE ACTION. Instead she calls for prayer...
