...or within a mosque.

Ever the diplomat.

I think he looks ill. I don't care how many tow-lines he drags his sorry butt up. It was all a show. Even his voice sounds thin and reedy.

If Hillary is on the ticket, he'll be sicker by October.

Even if Kerry is correct, i.e. assuming some homosexuality being genetic in nature, the very same may be argued concerning man's old sin nature. God created institutions, such as marriage for family, are not established to harbor sinfulness.

I've read some fairly strong arguments that the old sin nature is itself genetic in nature for all man. Even after salvation a solutio is provided for any genetic propensity to sin, namely a walk with God by faith through Christ.

Those who refuse that walk merely fall into some form of degeneracy, moral and immoral.

"Within a mosque"? Hey, guys around here (and boy are there a lot of them) conduct most of the activities involving marriage AT THE HOME, with the main dish being served up where the new husband has just taken his new bride!

Most folks really wouldn't that sort of thing going on down at the mosque anyway!

Afterward, the bloody sheet is displayed to the throng of female guests gathered on the side of the home where the marital bed was located, and if it meets their approval the uulations may continue on for many minutes.

You know something, whenever a presidential candidate or a presidential candidate to be has had cancer or other health problems, the media kvetches beyond belief. Look at the scrutiny Cheney got in 2000. Kerry had cancer and it is supposed to have disappeared.

That story gets very little play. I guess the president's health is not an issue when he's a Democrat.
