There are some very good liars and actors in this world. The devil never misses a church service. There are people who thrive on deceit. I have never met a person that could not be fooled.

"In my opinion, every child should have DNA testing at birth. That way, If the mother is an adulterer she will know who the child's father is and the legal husband will know what to do.

Do you see anything wrong with that?"

Only the assumption that every woman is an adulteress, and that collection of any person's DNA against their will should be against the law. Whatever happened to the constitutional protection against unreasonable search and seizure? Do unborn or newborn children not have constitutional protection? Personally, I don't trust any government licenced entity with my DNA and neither should you. They did a fine job protecting our veterans' private medical records, didn't they?

Blood paternity does not make any man a father. There is plenty of evidence to support that assertion. I will admit the same is true for women. Not every woman who can bear children is fit to be their mother. But, who is the best judge of that? Society? Government? The Church/Synagogue/Mosque/Temple?

State sponsored marriage is a legal contract that is binding on both parties. Divorce is available as an option for breach of contract. Christian marriage, on the other hand, is a covenant that binds for life. Best look real hard before you leap. Marry in haste, repent at leisure, my mother used to say. I believe her advice is still priceless.

Big brother has many other methods of obtaining your DNA. Lets forget about the innocent men that get the shaft. Please don’t question the mother, after all she is the most important and she would never commit adultery. I would be very leery of a woman that would refuse a DNA test. I would not mind one at all. As a matter of fact, I would welcome one if I had nothing to hide.

Have you ever wondered how the Armed Forces of the US obtain DNA samples from the service men? They are used if a soldier is killed in combat and the body can’t be identified.

That's very true. I can agree based on personal experience. I think many can be caught if we try to keep objective and honest with ourselves. The alternative is locking yourself up in the house and never interacting with another human being. I don't think that is what God wants. We are meant to live life and learn from our interactions and mistakes. Who knows, maybe something you say or do will trigger the deceitful person to change his or her ways?

That is what the Bible says. Christians are to let the spouse depart and they(the Christian) will be free to marry again.

I like that tagline. : )

I do too!

The ironic thing is I’m discovering more Catholics supporting Mitt than I thought. I assumed most were Mormon (and a few Mormons aren’t supporting him!)
