    This is what you get for talking on the phone.

    That was amusing. I can't deny I have done some of those things without being on a phone.

    America--No Longer a Christian Nation

    Maybe she does, but you're only supported evidence that proves you right, so what is the difference?

    America--No Longer a Christian Nation

    I tend to think that the worst thing is the hypocrisy inherent in those who claim that they are true Christians and deciding that others are not. I have yet to meet one Christian who is perfect. Christians of all sorts decided what parts of the Bible mean the most to them and try to decide...

    America--No Longer a Christian Nation

    I tend to think murder fits the definition much better.

    Federal judge upholds New Jersey’s ban on reparative therapy for minors

    This is banning the therapy being forced on minors by their parents. It does not prevent a patient from talking to a therapist if they are dissatisfied with their sexual orientation. Your therapist is not legally obligated to steer you away from reparative therapy. "A therapist should not...

    'God Bless America' gets (20yr) veteran in hot water with employer

    I don't know. My immediate thought after going through the article is that it does not contain all of the facts relevant to the story. Rather than talking about religious signatures, the attorney makes the distinction of "philosophical statements" and does not go into what that entails...

    10-Year-Old Banned From Writing About God Told to Remove Paper From School Property

    I agree that she should have been able to turn in the original assignment. And lo and behold, I am a liberal. Every liberal I know agrees with me on this. This is not an issue in which you can make the incorrect assumption that this is the fault of all liberals and that all liberals would...

    Parnets belif in divine heal allow second child to die

    There is a story I once heard that states my opinion on this. "A man lived in a valley where a terrible rainstorm began flooding the valley. As the water got higher and higher, he prayed to God to save him from the flood. Eventually, he had to go onto the roof of the house in order not to...

    apperantly i worship the devil

    I know this was a long ago post, but you have almost the exact same obsessions as I do. Since your mind is responsible for the obsessions, it is natural that your mind is going to try to circumvent any reasoning you can come up with. One of my things has always been a problem is me is when...

    OCD Questions

    I wasn't sure if you wanted this emailed to you or posted. I decided to post it because I think it can be helpful to many people who are struggling to understand the depths to which this illness can affect someone. Do any of your blood-related siblings, parents or grandparents have...

    I feel terrible

    This is the absolute best advice. You have a form of OCD called scrupulosity and it is considered by a large portion of psychologists as being one of the hardest behavioral disorders to live with. I have it too, and very similar to what you have said. I put off taking meds for 18 years...

    OCD-the unforgivable sin and blasphemy

    Hi, I think everyone here has been wonderful and supportive of you. It looks like it may have been helpful. Just to let you know, I have severe OCD and some really bad thoughts in my head. Before I converted ten years ago, the blasphemy of my thoughts made me feel like God would just ignore...

    I touched an inverted cross.. I'm so sorry! Please help

    For OCD, it doesn't really matter if there are any Biblical references to inverted crosses. The idea of the inverted cross being evil used to be a regular mainstay in horror movies and that idea might be one of the reasons some people believe it means something. From the time I was 10, I...

    Please pray for my sister and me

    Dear Jesus, please help our sisters clear the obstacles that stand in their way. Please help them to reach the means they desire and need and help them to achieve happiness and healthiness. Please help them with their issues, oh Lord. We love you Jesus and hope you will help them out. Amen.

    Prayers for Kevin

    Please, I beg for prayers for my boyfriend Kevin (please no anti gay comments because I could not survive them right now). He is a decent, loving person, who has given up almost his entire life (and me) to move into a house in Florida and take care of his mom. He has given up his friends, his...

    Rahm wins

    I have to side with Tulc on this. Chicago has its corruption but just because our corruption is in the news more often does not mean we are in any way the most corrupt city in the country. It will take a bit of empirical evidence to prove that point.
