The Texas Republican Party gives a whole new meaning to the word conservative.
The GOP there has voted on a platform that would ban oral and anal sex. It also would give jail sentences to anyone who issues a marriage license to a same-sex couple (even though such licenses are already invalid in the state).
We oppose the legalization of sodomy, the platform says. We demand that Congress exercise its authority granted by the U.S. Constitution to withhold jurisdiction from the federal courts from cases involving sodomy.

In addition, the platform says that homosexuality tears at the fabric of society, contributes to the breakdown of the family unit and leads to the spread of dangerous communicable diseases.
It also states that homosexuality must not be presented as an acceptable alternative lifestyle in public schools and family should not be redefined to include homosexual couples.

There have always been scandals. But if, say 50 or 100 years ago, a future monarch and his wife had gone to the media and discussed adulterous affairs, with no hint of moral censure from the monarch herself, then yes, I believe most members of the public would have turned against the monarchy.
You've come a long way baby...

I mean, I don't mind debating you on that if you'd like, but I'd like to know your view first.
So, let me ask you this:
I'd just like to get our cards out on the table, if you want to discuss this. Thanks.
Aliyah Shahid:
With a Christian Korean mother and a Muslim Pakistani father, growing up was difficult—and confusing—at times. I abhorred Sundays because Sunday was deemed “religion day” in the Shahid household. Every week, my sister and I were forced to first attend a church for Korean/Christianity classes, followed by the mosque for Arabic/Islam classes. Sometimes, we felt ostracized because we didn’t look like all of the other kids. Now, I identify with both religions, but as a child I felt torn between two worlds, neither of which I knew anything about.
that was a courtesy ping to you
Other than that I pinged some knowledgeable friends to your post
I’m waiting to see their reaction. I’ll let you know when they do.
You aren't willing to state whether or not you believe that Saving Grace is found in Christ-rejecting Talmudic Judaism?
Hmm. How curious.
Literally, there is NOTHING that shows up on my browser.
Those are just little details....lol
