Churches as Landlords!

They can pray for the chiefs, but it won't do much good. The only thing that will help the chiefs is the hard work of the players and the coaches to turn things around.

People will often learn more about subjects when they look at both sides of the topic in question.

I also changed my sig line so not to offend born again christians.

I have found that when I use devil advocacy as a means of a discussion a real devil comes in and ruins it for me, although it is fun while it lasts. Anyways I fee that as long as there is tax-exempt status for organizations be they charity, advocacy or religious then the rules should be equal across the board.

BTW; you shouldnt have felt the need to remove the born again comment, like I said thats your right. I am not particularly reiligous in the fact that I go to church. My family, well more so my parents, feel that I should attend church. But I decided after much consideration that I can provide myself the same service by reading the bible everyday and praying on my own rather than needing to attend a church, charity work by me in the manner of helping or even handing out is my tithing. I do occasionally get together with other religious people to just talk religion. I have found myself expecially at the college levl defending even religions I dont agree with. I guess I am just a constitutionalist who believes in defending what the document means for everybody.

My beef with the unions centers around Beck vs. CWA.

I removed the born again line because it is not my intent to deliberately offend somebody. Even though I don't believe in heaven and hell, or God and the Devil, I still live by the rule of "treat others how you would want to be treated."

My husband's grandfather changed the quote to "treat others as they treat you". Now I don't live by that, but thought it was appropriate for today's society.

I use, "You were never a slave and I never owned any. I don't owe you anything more than the common courtesty that each human owes another until they prove themselves unworthy of that courtesty."
