Religion, or lack thereof, will always, in the end, become an "Us VS. Them" phenomena. No matter how intelligent, good-natured, or well-intended the discussions, it will inevitably all boil down to "Good VS Evil." That is the way it is supposed to be. We, as Christians, are charged with dispelling and warring against the forces which are in direct contradiction with Christianity itself. We cannot do anything but disagree. To assume any other position would label us as hypocrites.

Wow, I feel like Steve Martin in, "The Jerk:" "I made the FastRead Page! I made the FastRead Page! I'm really somebody!"

Took me a minute, but I finally figured it out. Kinda interesting in a quirky sort of way.

That is awesome, GSS! You will do great, I'm sure. We'll be thinking about you while you're coloring in all those ovals with a No.2 pencil.

My husband and I were discussing this very topic a week or so ago. We watch a lot of ESPN and NFL Network, and I can tell you, there are only 3 commercials on these: car, beer, and erectile dysfunction. Viagra, Levitra and Cialis are all over the media. They give the impression that EVERY man needs these drugs, and if they don't take them, THEN there's something wrong with them. My husband's running joke is that all the women in these commercials are good-looking, so, "Why do they need Viagra?"
I have also seen commercials for cholesterol medication, acid reflux, arthritis, nail fungus, as well as depression and a host of other maladies. All these are prescription drugs. When I was a kid, drug companies were not allowed to advertise prescription medications in print or on TV. This is a fairly recent phenomena. I mean really, we are saturated with it now. How many men see those ads and think, "Wow, maybe I do need a little boost?" Or conversely, how many women see them and say, "Honey, I really think some of that Levitra would help our relationship. Go tell Dr. So and So you want a presription right now!" It's no wonder we are imagining all these illnesses when the media is pumping us full of all promises of lovely toenails, low cholesterol, limber joints, heartburn-free days, and 36 hours worth of unbridaled passion! Be still my soul!

BTW; Contrary to popular beliefs, Catholics are christians. I had to stand up for myself the whole time I was growing up (and still till this day) to people who think catholics were not christians.
We still encounter that frequently, just ask my husband. He has had to defend his faith countless times.
Actually, Catholics were the first Christians.

Of course I believe in casting out demons. I am Catholic. Exorcisms are a part of our faith, although there are only a handful of priests in the U.S. who are qualified to do them. I have done some reading on the subject. It is a fascinating aspect of the Church.

Ok, I get it now..."dancemama!" Thank you, yes, she can be very sweet. We don't worry too much about it. We want her to be comfortable with herself exactly the way she is. She loves dance and loves Miss Michelle. BTW, thanks to you, too, for working on those costumes. I truly envy anyone with that talent.

Nataly. Bless her heart, she is slightly on the "chubby" side right now. She is in the 6:00PM Tues. class w/Michelle, Dawn and Heather. How'd you know she was a Soldier?

My kids:
Felicia Renee- after character on "General Hospital"
Jesse Malachi- after his 2 great-grandfathers
Nataly Elise- just because I liked it

I had so much fun with all of y'all. Finally got to meet ANG and Subby, and learned I already knew Meltid.
Loved Honkin's Santa Hat. We have to do it again soon.

Thank you for your service to our country, GulfVet/Irishman. Having said that, I will tell you that as a native Paulding Countian, I am gravely offended by your post.

My daughter will be walking with the Dallas School of Dance, and my husband will be with the St. Vincent de Paul delegation- either carrying a banner or dressed as a wiseman.
I, unfortunately, will be working.

You go, Soapmom!

1968 Chevelle: light blue. I hated that car then, but I sure wish I had it now. My dad traded it to the guy who installed his wood heater.

Let me clarify a point here:
We do not worship the saints. We revere them and pray for their intercession, not unlike asking a friend to remember you in their prayers.
-
Hmmm... Not sure it was necessarily gossip. Maybe the fact that CONFUSED was implying that someone had committed a federal offense may have had something to do with it.

I have a lot of saints medals. Depending on what I need help with or what mood I am in, that is the one I wear: St. Raphael: joy in happy meetings, St. Anne: my patron saint (patron saint of mothers and grandmothers), St. Joan of Arc: for going into battle (of any kind). My husband has a St. Michael in his car. We find great comfort in the power of the saints, and wearing or carrying the medals gives it a physical presence.

I hope you are happy now GaBelle. Our secret is known to all!
Delirious, Freebird. Downright delirious.

Ha, ha. Yes, it was the "basketball player" nicknamed "The Shedd-miester!"
-
Back in 1982, I went- just once- to a place called the "Lemon Peel." Freebird can tell you all about it for me...

OMG! RRR, your screename is very misleading! You don't look like a "retiree" at all! I had a little ol' gray-haired lady all pictured in my mind.
*Please, no little gray-haired ladies take offense.
TBAR: Your kids look just like you. Especially the younger girl. She's the spitting image of you!

Thanks so much for the live video of the parade. I was stuck here at work and couldn't go. My husband (in the St. Vincent de Paul Mustang) and daughter (on the Dallas School of Dance float) were in it and I was down because I wasn't going to get to watch. But I did get to see it after all, thanks to P.Com! The "color" coverage was spectacular- provided by Publisher and QTee. I especially enjoyed the J. Robert segment.
P.S. I also want to thank whoever it was ("dancemama," I think) that gave my husband and daughter a ride back to the church. Another long story...
