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.

Cool, Dan.

Posted by Storm Saxon (Member # 3101) on :

That's awesome. [Smile]

Did you get any money for it?

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.

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?

Fixed the link. Mine is the 2nd one down.

*grins* that was a great article.

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

Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :

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.

That's a really great essay Dan! [Hat]

Dan, the two concepts are not mutually exclusive.
