  1. Ya can’t make this stuff up. No one would believe ya.
    If you presented this as a novel to a publisher, he’d throw both the novel and the writer into the trash where they belong.
    I really, really wish that both groups would actually GO over to Palestine, just to see how they’d be treated by the sand chiggers.

  2. As a Christian this makes me reflect on how I should behave in that situation. The best I have done is turn my back when the gay crowd passed by flying thier freak flag in our local 4th parade. It hardly seemed enough. My Church leaders give no insight beyond just be loving and accepting, we can see how that has been working.
