Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler suggested on Tuesday that Justice Clarence Thomas did not suggest revisiting the Supreme Court ruling that legalized interracial marriage because he himself is married to a white woman. Debate on the House floor grew heated as the Democrat-majority chamber prepares to advance its Respect For Marriage Act, aimed at codifying same-sex marriage. The bill is a response to Thomas' concurring opinion in the high court's decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, which saw the right to an abortion stripped out of federal law and returned to state jurisdictions. While Justice Samuel Alito made clear in...

Dear beloved fellow FReepers, please keep me, my spouse and my parents in your prayers as I had to decide to put to rest one of our kitties. She had 17 years--a rescue, my spouse and my first of many, and not one day went by that this awesome, talkative sweet little silver tabby did not embellish us with such great love, such cuteness in personality, and was there every time for us when anyone ailed of sickness or pain, despite her own physical problems. The Lord put animals here for many reasons, the two I'd like to expound upon...

Watching 60 minutes Sunday I was happy when they introduced a segment talking about persecution of Christians ...Finally I thought the major news folks are going to cover the Islamic persecution of Christians I should have known better,not a word of the beheading of Christians, the rape and kidnapping of Christian girls,nothing about Christian churches being burned or slaughters during services in the islamic countries . It ends up that it is the Jews that are persecuting Christians..and the Muslim cleric interviewed was just taken back by how "bad" the Jews treat Christians..Welcome to the alternative world of major network...

Black, white or neither? The mixed race dilemma Barack Obama has identified himself as a ‘mutt'. We, too, should acknowledge our fastest-growing ethnic minority In America in the spring of this year, 2008, a widow named Mildred Dolores Loving died at the age of 67.

WHAT IS THE NATURE OF CHRISTIAN LOVE? --IT'S DEPTH, BREADTH, DIMENSIONS-- Have prayed since Jr High to be able to love like Jesus. That's a pretty hazardous prayer. The training for answers to that prayer is a lot like the training for wisdom, humility and patience. Lots of long dark nights of the soul; refiner's fires; being ground to powder, blown to the 4 winds--recollected--dipped in vinegar and ran through the manure spreader backwards . . . can all be SOP--common events. Here are some questions to get us started prayerfully considering these principles and truths: 1. What is...

Good afternoon, Freepers! I have two kittens, approximately 7 months old that we adopted approximately 5 months ago. They were hand raised from approximately 2 weeks of age (their mother was killed on the roadside), and they're about the friendliest cats I've ever run into. However, they've gotten to be more than my daughter is willing to handle. As it stands, I'm taking care of my daughter, the house, the original cat and the dog, and myself - so I've got my hands full. If there is anyone in the Oak Ridge/Knoxville area who would like to have two loving,...

Hey Kids! Want Good Sex? Try Abstinence.Warren ThrockmortonAs a mental health counselor, I am really troubled by the numbers of adolescents that I have counseled who cried for days and hurt for years because they engaged in "safer sex" within dead end, unfulfilling relationships. Sadly, they learned that “safer sex” can be hazardous to their emotional health. I think the current political debate concerning abstinence vs. contraceptive based sexual education has failed to include an important variable in the discussion of what to teach in school: sexual well being. In many contemporary sexual education curricula, young boys and girls who...
