I was searching my ex, who obviously does n't have any web space. Are you guys, and no doubt some make attractive women, really not gay? I dunno, maybe you're fetishists. Otherwise, reason leaves me.

What about people with freckles? Perhaps this is something to do with evaporation into the upper atmosphere, cloud formations, followed by rain, blah blah blah. Well, that accounts for me then :-)

I myself, relate to Buddism: All 'men' are created equal and are inherently good and only become evil when swayed, but can be returned.

I guess we can all see the flaw here. All 'men' are obviously not created equal, unless... all men have a little secret that they would like to share!

I heard that same lake story when I was little, from my racist, white supremacist brother. I never gave it much credance.

You know that in the 19th century, cross-dresers were considered to be 'possessed by demons'!

I always feel sorry for religions. They get shaped by the culture they sit in, and invariably take the rap. Western culture was/is pretty brutal. I think, Becky, you should look to get back into mainstream religions. How about the Church of Bob?

The words to a modern Halloween song that was on a cd I got for my kids: "Now I'm sure that some witches are good, but I still wouldn't want one in my neighborhood. Why take a chance on a witches spell, avoid all the places that they might dwell!"
Now what the hell is that supposed to teach our children? Different than you? Don't let it around you, and don't go around it! I couldn't believe it. Any kind of discrimination based on nothingness is just evil.

It sounds more like one of Kipling's "Just So Stories" than anything else. It's definitely not Biblical. Not all stories that begin "a long time ago" are Biblical. For example, a successful film series began with the words "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...."

I will agree that the church (like society in general) has for a long time been intolerant. And it still hasn't got it right yet. But some areas are getting there.

That's just scary.

This is the sort of thing (along with the intolerance in general) that has caused me to become more and more disalusioned with traditional structured religion.
