"The minute I started thinking it through, I realized all religions are a form of manipulation. And I started having problems with certain beliefs - like in Africa, where people are dying of AIDs and Overpopulation, the Catholic Church is going over to convert them and take away the condoms! And I said, "Wait a Minute!"
No More Make Believe,

Salma’s kind of a badass.
She grew up very Catholic and her whole family is still Catholic.
Once she realized how evil it was to take condoms from people in the middle of an AIDS pandemic, she spoke up. Instead of being shit up by abusers and their enablers.

She used her influence to change that. She called them out publicly and started being a patron of Mothers2Mothers, a program in Africa that distribute condoms to mothers and de-stigmatizes them.
She literally put her money where her mouth is,

I think I love her

Same. She’s the exact opposite of LW!

Schroedie, since we all go by an alias here, LW may very well BE Salma Hayek.

Or perhaps I'm El Gato's smarter sister. That would explain a lot, wouldn't it?

I know you are Elder Perro Viejo.

"I sincerely wish that were the case."

--Judic West, on the lamb

A couple of years ago I listened to a baptist pastor from Zambia. He told about a ministry that had a huge problem with people taking a leak behind the church building. First they confronted and scolded the leakers and told them to stop, did not work, second time they threatened to call the police, did not work, the third time they had put a sign on the wall that said they were collecting urine to use in a witch doctor ritual and the pissing stopped.

Serious question:

Were there appropriate facilities within the building, or in "a" close by building (such as an outhouse), to use a toilet?

If not, then what would YOU do if you were going to church there and YOU had to go to the bathroom?

P.S. Women in third-world countries often have very similar problems when they are menstruating, or if they have recently given birth.

It was not people from the congregation that urinated around the building. It was people from the public.

I think a lot of guys got religion when Salma Hayek danced with the snake in 'From Dusk Till Dawn'.

Yay !

I hope and pray I never end up looking that bad !

When you marry a multi billionaire it increases your free time to think and makes her small fortune seem like peanuts.

It's nice that she gets involved with her passions and she still looks great. Can afford the best plastic surgeons keeping that chest perky every 6 to 10 years.

I'm sure she can be fun at a party. Lots of laughs.
