OOps...I forgot to address one of the questions. Heterosexual marriages between barren/infertile couples are different from homosexual partnerships insofar as the heterosexual marriage implies a marit...

I thought I'd best reply-- No. I don't intend to be a bigot. I fully endorse you to disagree with me, but you can do that without calling me a bigot. I never invoked anything other than a definiti...

Post: RE: What Can We Believe, Then?
Of course you've hit me where it hurts--the only reason to be hurt by someone not agreeing with you, is if there's something going on that can legitimately distract them from agreeing with you, and yo...
