    Renewing relationship with Mary

    Thanks, guys. It'll take time, I suppose. D'Ann -- I understand, that's probably what I'm feeling right now. I'll try those books, I don't think I have information in me right now to defend our Blessed Mother when 'debating' yet. Debate was what got me into this mess in the first place.

    Renewing relationship with Mary

    Hey all, long time. Hope all is well. Okay, so here's my issue with some background. I was raised very Catholic and was taught to have a close relationship with God and Mary; I was made to feel safe praying for her intercession whenever I was in need. You know that famous prayer "Remeber O...

    Supreme Court Will Hear Pledge of Allegiance Case

    by the way, how is the government itself teaching that a god exists? isn't it the schools? because i never thought schools were part of the government. and if they were, then i ask how a school can pass a law respecting an establishment of religion since the First Amendment only restricts...

    Supreme Court Will Hear Pledge of Allegiance Case

    personally not saying 'under God' in the Pledge = allowed by the establishment since we're generalizing here, why is it a prerequisite of your religion to think that people of 'my religion' are forcing your kids to say "believe in my God?" hey, i'm sure some of "us" would be okay with that...
