I took one of my earlier posts on Gay Marriage, edited it a bit, removed any specific Jatraquero references, and sent it in to an E-Mag editor I know. The Result is The unpaid thrill of seeing my name in digital print . Thanks guys, for letting me bounce ideas off your heads. [ March 04, 2004, 02:59 PM: Message edited by: Dan_raven ]

When I followed the link, I got an article I'm pretty sure isn't yours. You might want to double check the link... The one I think is yours is pretty good, though. Dagonee Edit: That's the one I assumed was his Narnia. I'm trying not to reach 1000 so I edited instead of replying . [ March 04, 2004, 02:08 PM: Message edited by: Dagonee ]

Wow yeah. That does make a difference!! Thanks for pointing that out Dag. Dan's is the one titled "Attack on the Sanctity of Marriage" NOT the one that comes up with the link. Right? [ March 04, 2004, 02:05 PM: Message edited by: Narnia ]

Dan, I liked it. The problem is that a "religion of one" doesn't have enough squeeky wheels. So you have to make a bigger squeek just to be heard. Of course, those in the majority religions will try to claim that you starting your own religion makes a mockery of religion too. But that's okay. Every religion on Earth started with one person.

This explains why I was confused -- immediately after he originally posted I linked in and read Biblical Marriage and thought that was Dan's... FG

Bob, I thought of that argument. My first thought was to form my own church but with your interest in a certain ordained minister, the Church of Bob just didn't seem plausible. Actually, there are many Christian churches, ministers, and believers who believe as I do, that Love and Commitment are the greatest goals of life, not Orthodoxy or Dogma. I just hated seeing the more conservative leaders label this debate as Christian VS Heathen. They are wrong. There are Christians on both sides, and a few heathens on both sides too.
