Hi Tinkerntom,

Did you get a chance to check out those two links I left for
you
on
one of our last post prior to the week end? I found them
interesting in that they come from Alan Keyes who is as
representative of the conservative religious right as you can
get.
I am wondering if anyone else on that side of the aisle has
read
his observations, and is takeing heed? I suspect that there is
a
ground swell already building.

When I get a chance I may find those links to have a look, but
are
you
aware of the situation between Keyes and his lesbian daughter?

Here's a Washington Post article about them:

Here's what Maya herself had to say about it:

Sure, she's 19, and responsible for herself, but it wasn't until
after
she "came out" publicly about her sexual orientation that her
parents
decided to "cut her loose". Interesting "family values" at the
very
least.

Hey now Melissa, just because he has turned his back on his own
daughter...if only Dick Cheney could feel the love of god as
strongly
as
Alan Keyes, he'd kick his daughter to the curb too! But no, the
best
Dick
can muster is to be quietly disapproving. Satan has made him weak,
whereas
the blood of Christ flows thorugh Alan's veins and gives him the
strength to
hate his own daughter. Religion is so beautiful!

Religion is ugly and a deadly poison. Jesus said I came to give you
life, and to give it to you abundantly. So obviously they are two
diffierent things, though some still can't seem to keep them
separate!

Religion is the term that describes how human beings apply deity
belief to
real world practices. It's all about power and control. And it is
ugly.

It seems that we have already discussed the subject of religion, was
there some new insight you desired to share, by returning to the
subject?

If you do not have anything specific in mind, I ask Melissa a question
off line, that she apparently is too busy to get into. I understand how
that is, however I could ask you the same question if you would be
interested, though I would probably have to rephrase it for the
different circumstances. Let me know if you are interested. You might
even check with her, and she may be able to tell you what I ask her,
and it would save some time, TnT
