In Reply to: Oh now I see, you're one of those - religious fanatics... Let me inform you

I guess I am a "fanatic" but that is fine with me. First, IF my child came to me and said they were gay, i would of course love them in spite of that. God loves us in spite of our sin. But I would tell them that I didnt agree with their choice, that it is a sin and I would show them in the Bible what God says about it. I would pray for them and leave the situation in my Lord's hands because that would be all I could do.

Now, just because YOU say that the Bible is left for interpretation doesnt mean that is so. Just because you think you are right, doesnt make it the truth. I have my beliefs, you have yours. Some people are presented with the truth and just cannot or will not see it. There is nothing that I can do about that. God says that in the end many will call his name but he will not hear them, like they didnt hear his truth when he was trying to reach them.

Right now, in this post, God is using people, Christians, here on this very board at this very moment to present the truth to you and you are shutting your heart to it.

I am a scrapbook fanatic

Wow, another Nicorette fanatic like me!
I have been off the smokes off and on, mostly off including evacuating for 2 hurricanes, for about 8-9 years now. Love my Nicorette. Can't bust out of that habit, though. $$$$$ At least it doesn't stink.

It's weird, but I'm a brown rice fanatic and weight starting to come off (sm)
I bought a little rice cooker because me and my guy were hungry some nights after working out and we got hooked on rice as kind of a lowfat, low cost, no frills snack. I've gone crazy for it for some reason and eat it sometimes 3 times a day. I guess it's the complex carbs, but it's also seemed to reduce my craving for simple carbs; I'm eating less bread, much less soda, and craving fewer sweet things. I make a batch and keep leftovers in the fridge and reheat if I have a snack attack. I figure, it's better than most of the alternatives (processed, high fat, etc.)

Sorry, got happy way too soon, congrats to Steelers, still love Kurt.....(really-a-Patriots-fanatic,
