    Copycat?

    My ideas usually come from life. Life with a twist sometimes, but life. I write what I know. I often find it to be the most authentic. For instance there is one author I read that is facinated with the UK and the culture and people of the UK. I think she has one of the most authentic voices...

    Children, Worldview education, and the Culture War

    As a student growing up in the Bible Belt we did not have to worry about having to change for wearing WWJD gear anymore than someone wearing GNR gear had to; however, by the time I became a teacher all these laws and policies had come down prohibiting both and using your role as teacher as a...

    a dilemma for adults only please

    Thanks so much for your opinions. I hope it will help her in her conversation. Some have indicated that "It depends" and I think her biggest concern here is that she feels that he is choosing the inappropriate content over her. If this was a shared activity then I may say wellll...but since it's not I think...

    a dilemma for adults only please

    A girlfriend asked my opinion and to be honest while I knew what my gut wanted to say I really didn't know the answer. she asked, "If my husband watches inappropriate content, is he cheating on me?" In other words is watching inappropriate content cheating. I would like some other opinions to take to her, if you will...

    For all those "Grammer Nazis" out there... here's a sentence for you to chew on! :D

    Bravo! As a English Instructor people often expect me to be one of "those" people, but I'm not. I choose to follow a different text that suggests that clarity and grace are more important than many of the rules; however, many of the rules are important. While I am laughing I did see two...

    All these sexually oriented topics...

    Issues of sexuality are not more important than the many other tragedies that plague this nation and the world, but prejudice toward people and condemnation is a tragedy as well.

    Mental Illness, Children, Sterilization

    I'm glad to know that someone else thinks about this. I have often wondered myself if I should choose not to have biological children because of illnesses that run in my family and my husbands. One thing I often consider when thinking about this is that there is constantly new discoveries in...

    Is it ethical to accept Salvation?

    This is my initial response. I feel that you have posed a very interesting and thought provoking issue and I'm going to give it the due respect of mulling it over...however, I did want to say that Christians are given the duty the mission if you will to "witness" or spread the word as read on...

    Spanish Judge Tells Lesbian Mother to Choose Children or Same-sex Partner, not Both

    The more I read the more I worry. Seriously. When did it happen that your sexual orientation determined your value as a good person. I know Christians who are homosexual. I know wonderful loving parents who raise wonderful loving children, and the parents were gay and the children were not...

    Please someone just stone me and be done with it!

    I'm pretty new so I don't have a clue. As far as the "discussions" I've read on the topic, though I admit I don't have a clue what their talking about, I figured it was just church politics of sorts. You know the left side of the church wanted the door painted ivory; the back row didn't care one...

    So well said!!!:thumbsup: Question about later posts. To my knowledge I am not aware of whole lot of tax dollars coming my way. I don't notice anything that the government has given me since marriage that I didn't have before except a joint tax form. I do not understand the Opposition to gay...

    Should atheism, homosexuality, and feminism be banned?

    How exactly could this be done. I must say when I first saw it I thought it was a joke, but then I read the whole thing and am amazed and awe struck at what I see. Just for funsy imagine that you made a law banning these and even imagine that you somehow managed to lock all of those who...

    Who should judge?

    There is judgement and then there is judgement. A child comes to my class covered in bruises. Of course I have to report it to be investigated. Someone murders someone else, that person must be punished. We have to use good judgment all the time when we make choices about situations and people...

    Is masturbating bad?

    1. It would be really great if we could all have those perfect relationships where "relations" were perfectly plentiful to each partner and perfectly timed for when needed, but that is often not the reality. 2. Studies show that people who have regular [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] through whichever method show...

    Is smoking/growing weed immoral?

    I smoke cigarettes; I enjoy liquor and wine. I have a diet coke thing that would probably count as an addiction. I also like fried foods and sweet foods and sweet tea. The way I was taught was that my body is the temple of God and that anything I do to harm my body is an offense to God...

    Christian Horror?

    I agree with most of what has been written here. One thing you might consider is whether or not what your writing is a stumbling block for other Christians. At least that's what my mama always said. She made me right Romans 9:13. "Therefore let us stop passing judgement on one another. Instead...

    Verbal trouble

    I would be glad to read it if you like. You can pm or email it to me. I devour fantasy so I would love to see what you are working on and I'll be glad to share my thoughts. As to whether or not anyone else has trouble verbalizing what their writing about. Absolutely! I'm sure that boat is full...

    Gay Marrage, why do you care?

    Whenever I discuss Gay marriage with people this is the verse they quote. However, they most often stop after homosexual offenders. They have a few others that they like to use, but this seems to be the popular. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 says, "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the...
