		<description>#121 - &quot;Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.&quot;  Comment by bitblt â€” January 24, 2008 @ 11:14 am

&lt;strong&gt;So, Bitbit is calling for dvorce to be outlawed?

If Bitbit were so gung-ho about following Scripture, Bitbit would announce Bitbit&#039;s support for ensuring that divorce didn&#039;t happen.  Or, Bitbit would at least say Bitbit stood for Crhist&#039;s version of divorce of one marriage-one divorce and no further marriages.

Until Bitbit can consistently follow New Testament Scripture, Bitbit has proven (once again) that Bitbit is another &quot;pick &amp; choose&quot; &#039;c&#039;hristian, and that Bitbit only follows the New Testament Scriptures that supports Bitbit&#039;s prejudice and ignore those New Testament Scriptures that are inconvenient to Bitbit&#039;s prejudices.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;See, there have ALWAYS been LOTS of definitions for MARRIAGE - DUM BASS! The DEFINITION has traditionally been based on SOCIETAL/CULTURAL NORMS, and in particular, the NOTION that WOMEN ARE PROPERTY TO BE SOLD. THAT my dear CHILD is TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE! And just like SLAVERY - BEFORE IT - it has had to undergo some changes as we LEFT THE CAVES for the CITIES! So please, knuckledragger, if you canâ€™t LIVE IN THE CIVILIZED WORLD, then DO, PLEASE, LEAVE OUR CIVILIZED COUNTRY to those of us that WISH to be CIVILIZED?

Comment by republicans hate facts â€” January 23, 2008 @ 6:28 pm&lt;/em&gt;

Christ said there only one definition of marriage when he quotes from the book of Genesis.



&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;    Matthew 19&lt;/strong&gt;
    â€œHavenâ€™t you read,â€ he replied, â€œthat at the beginning the Creator â€˜made them male and female,â€™and said, â€˜For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one fleshâ€™? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.â€ 
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Christ was a Jew. Thatâ€™s why he quotes Genesis to answer questions about adultery â€“ an inappropriate sexual behavior. He could have quoted the Law, but He was apparently interested in intent â€“ Godâ€™s intent.


Of course, this quote is only important if one believes that Jesus Christs is the Son of God. If you don&#039;t believe this, that&#039;s your choice, but many people do believe this.</description>

&lt;strong&gt;
ELECTION 2008
94% of evangelicals rank abortion No. 1
Christians put issue ahead of personal debt, content of movies, TV, homosexual agenda&lt;/strong&gt;

 

&lt;blockquote&gt;   A new report from the Barna Group warns political campaigns that assuming the evangelical vote is â€œsplinteringâ€ over abortion would be a mistake, with 19 of every 20 members of that group citing the issue as their top concern.

    The report comes just as the U.S. marks the 35th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision in the U.S. Supreme Court that found in the Constitution a fundamental right to terminate a pregnancy at any time for any reason.

    â€œOne of the myths about the 2008 election is that the evangelical vote is splintering over issues such as abortion and homosexuality. In fact, when defined based upon a consistent set of theological perspectives, evangelicals remain very united on abortion and homosexuality,â€ said David Kinnaman, president of the Barna Group and director of the study.

    â€œEvangelicalsâ€™ top concern â€“ by a wide margin â€“ was abortion (94 percent). This was followed by the personal debt of Americans (81 percent), the content of television and movies (79 percent), homosexual activists (75 percent), and gay and lesbian lifestyles (75 percent,)â€ the report on the assessment of votersâ€™ values and morals said.

    The report said evangelicals â€œwere more likely than other adults to be concerned about illegal immigration, but they were less worried about HIV/AIDS than virtually any other segment of the population. One of the most significant differences of opinion expressed in the survey was the skepticism evangelicals harbor toward global warming (only 33 percent identified it as a major issue) compared to the rest of the population.â€

		<description>I make my own mayo from scratch. Raw egg. And no salmonella. Life is too short . . .

I prefer mine with extra Salmonella! I hope you are educating others. The state of US American cuisine is a dismal situation. Did you see the recent numbers on tuna and mercury. I have been trying to distance myself from it but it is so hard. I am too old to be concerned all that much about the mercury but I have moved away from the comsumption of almost all other high level heterotrophs</description>

You&#039;re a complete liar. 

Every gay person I know wants to be able to marry.

But go ahead and play the &quot;closeted gay&quot; which wingnuts seem to adore, as an excuse to knock Gore.

Such a total, BS, liar you are.</description>

		<description>(GAGS), I&#039;m Gay and I can&#039;t stand him, he is such a hypocrite who takes private jets and just makes money in his own interest instead of the enviroment. 

Wanna talk about Gay marriage? Him and Al Sharpton should marry, it would be a match made in heaven.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Me too, db, you better find that old connection. I make my salad with Egg Beaters because I was always afraid of making people sick with salmonella. It tastes the same as with coddled egg. The goofy restaurants make their imitations with mayo or something, itâ€™s disgusting. If I can figure out the Egg Beaters why canâ€™t they?

		<description>&lt;em&gt;No, really, I CANâ€T figure his motivation. If you think this is a wedge issue that helps the Dems I disagree. Give it another generation and maybe, but not in the 08. Can you imagine Hillary having that hot potatoe in her lap, what with Donâ€™t Ask Donâ€™t Tell and DMA both being creatures of her husband? Is she going to run against Billâ€™s legacy?

If anything, I think the extra-cynical inside-baseball take on Goreâ€™s announcement is to undermine the Clintons. Again, weâ€™ll see if this story gets any legs in the next few days.

Well, if you CAN&#039;T figure his motivation, why assume that there is one? You&#039;re just an old cynic, aren&#039;t you?

And I didn&#039;t say that it was a wedge issue that &quot;helps the Dems&quot;. I said it CAN be a winner for them. No one in power is willing to touch it, but I think it can be presented in a way that will reap electoral benefits for Democrats (and social benefits for Americans). I say this because I have not yet heard a single reasonable and solid reason for barring gay marriage. Every reason advanced by the Right can be destroyed effortlessly using their own standards. It only makes sense.</description>

		<description>Iâ€™m curious, K, what do you think his political motivation is to speak about this issue at this time?

I canâ€™t find one.

Heâ€™s not running for office, he doesnâ€™t seem to be supporting anyone in particular, and this doesnâ€™t seem to feed into any political cause he is known to champion.

The only two possibilities I can come up with are 1) heâ€™s the only Democrat who realizes that this wedge issue can actually be a winner for Democrats, or

2) heâ€™s looking to gin up some controversy and spike the viewership of Current.

		<description>I haven&#039;t tried, but it emulsifies the salad dressing pretty easily, of course I like it just sligthtly emulsified, but I think it might work.  My husband&#039;s family only lets me come to dinner if I bring the Ceasar salad, and since they used to leave it out for a while it always made me a little nervous.</description>
