Even as a nevermo, I was familiar with most of these beliefs but the Christopher Columbus teaching is a new one. I had never heard of this before and I find it unbelievably hilarious!! Thank you for this,donbagley, it gave me a much-needed smile :)

This got me to thinking of the very recent, relatively speaking, so-called religious movements in the US that met with tragic endings. David Koresh and his Branch Davidians in Waco,TX;Jim Jones and his People's Temple; the Heaven's Gate tragedy.

Hey Cuz X, I am a nevermo and yes, the "what if" game plays itself out in my mind all too frequently. Much to my dislike. It does seem to be a strange phenomenon :(

I was angered by the headline of an article on the front page of this past Sunday's SL Tribune. I can't locate the paper as another resident must have borrowed it so I won't quote it but was something to the effect that Gays Can Live Fulfilling Lives in Celibacy, Apostle Says. My first thought was, How the hell does he know!? I did skim down to see which 'apostle" made such a ludicrous

Brilliant, EB! Your analogy was most interesting to read, and the examples you provide couldn't be more perfect. Thank you for starting what will surely become a fascinating thread :)

Many of the finest people I have ever had the privilege of knowing have been either gay or lesbian, ether single or in committed relationships. I did see this story on the news and everyone involved, including the grandmother who carried the child, were obviously so thrilled and full of joy and love for this baby. What a blessing for this child to be welcomed into the world by two very loving a

As others have stated, the mods do a great job of deleting apologist's posts and the sticky at the top of the page says "Apologists go home" or something along those lines. This thread reminds me that I've always wondered why 'Honest TBM' has been allowed to post here.

I saw this on the news also. It looked to me as though there was a thick layer of frosting on the bottom of the serving plate in which the Twinkies were embedded, allowing them to stand upright.

I am so sorry for your loss. There is nothing more painful that I can recall than having to make that decision to put a beloved pet down. May happy memories of the many years you shared with your cat bring you some comfort at this difficult time. Remind yourselves of the ten loving years you provided for your cat and maybe, when the time is right, you can visit your local shelter and share

Eric, I am sorry that you and your family are having to go through this difficult time with your mother.

Amyjo, I’m sorry to inform you that metastatic cancer is not a type of cancer either but only means that the cancer has spread to other areas. For example, someone may suffer from metastatic breast cancer, metastatic lung cancer,etc. My father died from metastatic colon cancer, meaning it had spread, in his case, it had spread to the liver by the ime they found it.
