Priests who resist blessing gay couples incur a curse, to heed Münster Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus Dieter Geerlings, in a statement issued at a religious service in the queer community in Münster. “Human rights are at stake when it comes to homophobia. A radical change is necessary so that the curse can finally become a blessing," Geerlings said, quoting theologian Hildegund Keul. Many queer people, he says, feel hurt by the way the Church treats them. "The church must have the courage to welcome back those it has offended and still offends," Geerlings said. Only then can it become a sign...

One look at you tells me all I need to know about you. I am so tired of liberals that think they are so brilliant. You are such a stupid jackass. You are so stupid you probably believe that the Bush administration orchestrated the attacks on 9/11. Every time you go on the internet, every time you make a bank transaction, or pay a bill, every time you try to email a congressman or senator they are getting so much information off of you. Of course it is all a conspiracy by the Bush administration. I have screwed around by...

Here's something for you to ponder over... http://distressedamerican.cf.huffingtonpost.com/ Any thoughts?

Fellow Americans, there comes a time every mans life when we must give up ourselves before we are worthy to recieve. There comes a time in this war on terror when in order to protect liberty, we have to give it up in the mean time for safty. That's right folks. Today, Americans have forsaken the creator for the creation and have decided that they would value our "civil liberties" than protecting western civilization and rich white people from the tender mercies of radical Islamic terrorists. Selfish liberals insist and whine that Bush has no right to spy on Americans...

After reading all of the crap that people have been saying regarding Adult Private Social Clubs, I felt that I had to post an article and give my opinion. I am sick and tired of all the religous groups that are saying that there are drugs, prostitution, minors, non-consenting people, and just immoral people at these clubs! First of all, who do these people think they are to decide what is morally right or wrong for me? I believe that I have a good set of morals. I am a law abiding, tax paying citizen, I work full time and...

24jun05 GERMANY has opened its first laughter school in Berlin to teach serious Germans to lighten up. Standing around in small groups, Germans are seen slapping themselves on the forehead with their mouths open and practising different laughter. Laughter teacher Susanne Maier said: "I am hoping to see laughter schools opening up everywhere. "Germany will become a land of laughter -- and Berlin the laughter capital of Europe."

Many argue that communism will never be possible because of "human nature". The essence of this false argument is the belief that a communist society would consist of an all-powerful central government that would tell everybody what to do--and would therefore undermine the creative initiative of individuals and the search for happiness. • This argument is based on two false assumptions: (1) It assumes that a communist society will look like the former Soviet Union, or the current China, North Korea, etc (ie: corrupt police states with a feudal-style ruling class) (2) It assumes that people will only work in...

A disabled man's monkey bit a toddler in a Brooklyn supermarket, and the boy's furious family demands the chomping chimp be put in a zoo. Two-year-old Thomas Romano and Darla, a 6-year-old macaque, were eyeballing each other from their respective shopping cart seats in the Key Food store on Avenue U in Mill Basin on Sunday when the monkey went bananas. Darla's owner, Steven Seidler, insisted the primate was provoked, but Thomas' grandmother said the boy was minding his own business. "I see something brown and furry on my grandson and I see this man punching this thing," said Helene...

Attempts to persuade young Britons that Germany is cool have made little progress, and many still associate the country with Adolf Hitler, beer and football, a survey shows. The Goethe Institute, which promotes German culture abroad, launched a campaign last year to promote Germany, using grooving ravers at Berlin's Love Parade and model Claudia Schiffer encouraging Britons to learn the language. But a survey of young Germans and Britons by the institute and the British Council, which publicises British culture, showed it will take more than that to shift British prejudices. Germans saw Britain as modern and multi-cultural but Britons...

With VERY few exceptions (thanks to the people that were human and to people that wrote me privately) you people are a bunch of fundamentalist zealots. You aren't conservatives...you're fascists. You make me embarrassed to be a Republican.
