Yes, this is a very Christian thing as it is a blessed Sacrament defined by Jesus Christ. If two people of the same sex want to be legally bound, it should be called a civil union, not a marriage.<BR/><BR/><B>HOWEVER!</B> My personal beliefs aren't the point. What is the point is that this shouldn't be decided by the federal government, more specifically, the Suprememe Court. Matters such as this should be up to individual states. That also goes for laws regarding adoptions as well.Robert E Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391581467677241611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12457120.post-71788213422051740132007-07-02T17:13:00.000-07:002007-07-02T17:13:00.000-07:00Robert should the Government tell us how to live o...Robert should the Government tell us how to live our private, personal sex lives?

Bush."</I><BR/><BR/>That's right. This is why I don't consider Bush a conservative. He represents what the Republican party has deteriorated into. That's why I'm no longer a Republican.<BR/><BR/><I>"Stem Cells has to be funded..."</I><BR/><BR/>Fine, good for you. I suggest you donate time and money to organizations that can help serve this purpose. Rally others to do so too. It's just wrong to rely on the Federal Government for things like this. Keep in mind that not everyone feels as you do. Or are you saying that what you feel is important has to be thrust on all of us?<BR/><BR/><I>"The problem is without public education we are only going to get the Christian point of view instead of scientifically proven facts."</I><BR/><BR/>That makes no sense. First of all, you are <B>WRONG</B> in trying to say that the Christian way is to debunk science. Most Christians believe in science. Secondly, I must have missed the memo that only Bible-thumping Christians can teach outside of public school.Robert E Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391581467677241611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12457120.post-87894780065007175892007-06-26T16:39:00.000-07:002007-06-26T16:39:00.000-07:00Keep in mind no one has EXPANDED government more t...Keep in mind no one has EXPANDED government more then REPUBLICAN George W.

I saw a story on Fox where included was a question from a teacher to a student asking how old the earth was and sticking to the strict, proven wrong so many times Christian Way, saying the earth was 6000 years old. The teacher instead of saying the student was wrong said the student was right. The problem is without public education we are only going to get the Christian point of view instead of scientifically proven facts.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12132125311158280423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12457120.post-29335584690702399202007-06-26T10:21:00.000-07:002007-06-26T10:21:00.000-07:00I agree with you.

They should not be allowed exemption from oversight committees.<BR/><BR/>While were on the subject of duties of the Executive branch and the Constitution, I want to point out the federal government equally has no business in health care, education, or stem cell research.Robert E Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391581467677241611noreply@blogger.com
