that Christian organizations should never be allowed ad space during secular programming, yet we must be exposed to crap like Smilin' Bob? Well, that's fair! What happen to the liberal battle cry of TOLERANCE! I forget that when you all talk about tolerance it means Christians must tolerate you, but you don't have to tolerate Christians. You get to discriminate against us, ridicule our beliefs. Unbelievable!

No discrimination
against women or people of color but a nasty, immoral behavior. There is a BIG difference.
I don't think it would be discrimination....(sm)
because ANYONE within whatever legal boundaries would be able to have a union. This would not exclude christians or any other religion. It would simply be from a legal perspective. As far as who would or would not qualify for a christian "marriage" would be up to christians, but that would have absolutely nothing to do with the law of unions.
Now , that's what I call discrimination ...
What you say is even against the Constitution.
I say:
There are several religions, but only ONE God, for all the same.
Who can tell what is the RIGHT religion?
Every religion has its own 'book'.
And Islam was the LAST religion.
First Judaism, then Christianity, then Islam.
Firefighters in reverse discrimination case.
I heard last night about these firefighters who were all given tests and the object was to allow the top scorers to get promotions. All the firefighters were given the same material, same amount of study time, and the same exact tests. After the tests were done, it was noted that minorities scored lower on the test and so they basically threw the tests out. Some of these guys who scored high are calling it discrimination because they studied, worked hard, and had higher scores and were denied promotions.
I am so sick and tired of skilled people not getting jobs because we have to fill so many spots with minorities. If a minority is skilled for the job, by all means....give them the promotion and/or hire them. But to pick a minority who had low test scores over someone who had high test scores.....to me that is picking someone for the job based on race and I think that is wrong. I understand that minorities want equal rights and equal pay and all that jazz and I'm totally for that.....but earn it. Don't just expect it. Study, work hard, learn skills. For us to hire people just because we have a minority quota is just wrong. We are rewarding mediocrity.
Can you just imagine if this was the other way around. Just imagine if it were the minorities that scored higher and they threw the test scores out. Talk about a major law suit that they would win in a heart beat.
This just saddens me.

House Passes Bill Allowing Government-Funded Religious Discrimination
Washington, September 22 – Today, The U.S. House of Representatives passed an amendment and a bill to allow government-funded religious discrimination
The School Readiness Act (H.R. 2123), a bipartisan bill to reauthorize the Head Start program, was passed 48-0 in committee. However, during floor debate Thursday, Rep. Charles Boustany Jr. (R-LA) added an amendment allowing Head Start providers to exercise religious discrimination in choosing teachers and volunteers. As a result, the final vote on the bill (231-184) was stripped of the unanimous, bipartisan support displayed in committee.
The Interfaith Alliance is very disappointed in the members of Congress who insist on reacting to one crisis by beginning another one, said the Rev. Dr. C. Welton Gaddy, President of The Interfaith Alliance. The Boustany amendment is a prime example of political opportunists taking advantage of a national tragedy to institute policies that are unconstitutional and have been previously rejected by the Congress.
The Interfaith Alliance was joined by more than 50 organizations in opposition to the bill's passage if it contained the Boustany amendment. The National Head Start Association, which represents more than 2.5 million children and families, program staff and volunteers that comprise the Head Start and Early Head Start community, came out against the entire bill if the Boustany Amendment was attached saying:
In spite of its positive provisions, if HR 2123 contains a religious discrimination amendment, we must reluctantly oppose the bill.
This amendment will subsidize religious discrimination with tax dollars, turning back civil rights protections that currently apply to nearly 200,000 Head Start teachers and over 1.4 million parent volunteers.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the levees protecting religious liberty are being breached, and the wall between church and state is cracking, Gaddy said. If those in Congress who seek to repeal religious liberty safeguards are successful, thousands of children, teachers and parent volunteers who have dedicated themselves to this program could find themselves no longer welcome at religiously-affiliated Head Start programs because they are of a different faith than the sponsoring organization.
The Senate passed a similar bill, but without the Boustany amendment, so the House version will now go to a House-Senate conference committee. Members of The Interfaith Alliance will urge Senators to strip the bill of the Boustany amendment in conference.
Initiated in 1965 in the wake of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, Head Start has been widely recognized as one of the most successful government programs ever created. It has provided early childhood education and development programs that have helped millions of low-income families overcome inequities for more than forty years.
Let me spell it out again...
The original post is about child molestation by priests, correct? Well, I just went one step further and pointed out how an organization like the ACLU is defending those who also molest and even kill children AND that they are in bed with the Democrats. A distrubing notion to me. Following me now?

Professional MTs should be able to spell
You say you have 99 percent accuracy? I truly do not believe that. I do believe a person can be intelligent and not be able to spell. I do not think a professional MT should be in this profession and make all kinds of excuses for not spelling correctly.
how do you spell "propaganda."
They are advertising a belief system, not a product. That ad is intrusive & didactic, & NBC was right to reject it.
As a Christian you have every right to let your conscience guide you politically, but your right to do so STOPS at the point where it would infringe on my right NOT to experience organized religion if I choose not to. That ad makes me feel like one of those geese into whose mouth they stick a funnel & cram food into its gullet. It's nobody's G.D. business what I believe.
ok, how do you spell "agenda."
You can run anything you like on some Christian show, but not during a show that is for the public at large. The fact is that the entire point is to proselytize & make "conversions," godhead-help-us, which is why they would like to air the commercial on network television during non-religious programming. & as usual, the fact that you can't see this is the best evidence of your inability to make this call.

Isn't it hard to spell out a sound of something
As I sat there trying to think of how to spell that sound that Anthony Hopkins made after his famous line about the chianti and fava beans.
Doing spell checking on others can get you thrown off
I don't use spell check here and I definitely do not correct other's errors, see them all the time but know better than to do for the above reason. When you pay my check, then take note of any errors, ok?
Correction...enough...really most days I know how to spell...sigh nm

Her poor daughter probably wouldn't be in the preggers predicament if mamma had taught her about birth control instead of 'abstinence'.
Who made you the spell police? - see message

Learn to spell lesson first before you preach right
