That means I don't have to, right?
UNTRUE.
Good luck, msbelle.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Never did understand how two men(or two women) getting married threatens my marriage. Of course, the folks who are most vocal about "traditional marriage" think I'm going to Hell anyway, so fuck them.
While I sincerely doubt it would have any effect on your marriage, I can kind of see how Michelle Bachmann might consider the prospect of men being able to marry each other a threat to her own.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
ALso claiming the founding fathers were Christian.
Isn't the salient point, though, that they emphatically did not impose their religious beliefs on others through the law?

It's almost like that was one of the Main Ideas for the founding of a country full of religious exiles.

And so I've thought about nailing that rule to Polgara's door, like a scrabble lutheran.
I don't think my security deposit would cover that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Good thoughts for the discharge, msbelle.
I get to fast overnight so I can get every blood test in the world tomorrow morning. And after that I get to pick up my car from the garage in the afternoon (Lee, you will have to find another reason to laugh at me (not that that will be hard), I'm getting a whole new-to-me driver side door that opens from the inside! Possibly the same color as the rest of the car, we'll see). Big day!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

This. I think it's a stronger argument for modern Christians that the founding fathers were indeed Christian but didn't think they had the right to make that decision for others.

Right? I'm always so confused by people who think they're making some right wing point with that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, usually they go on to say how this is a Christian nation founded on biblical principles....

And that's just not factual. But, it's also not factual for the left wing to say that the founding fathers were not Christian. I guess that's what I was getting at from the beginning.
