I hate politics. Tim loves it. He's at the school until late tonight, but I'm sure he'd like to argue. He likes to argue and that's the thing with politics.
I want to go to Mexico. I need to learn Spanish too.
The thing with literal interpretation of the bible is hard. It's a complex book. Literal and Figurative. Jesus wasn't just a great teacher though. He healed, and suffered , and was tempted. He was God. Yes, not the wimpy, kind Jesus, but God incarnate. (My view, I know. ) He showed us that relationships were the only thing worth living and dying for. He showed strenght through resisting the easy temptation of force. Think of 40,000 angels. on his side as soon as he said " "uncle" or "screw you, I'm God." God went at it the hard way. The good way. He didn't depend on his own stength. I think that's something profound. He realized it wasn't all about him. His needs. His immediate desires of lust, hunger, pride. His anger at this world, it's acceptance of mediocrity, wow!

So the bible is interepreted more literally when it justifies discriminatory behavior. Please help me here. How does the phrase "moral value" and George W Bush fit logically in the same sentence? moral value seems to be code for homophobia, and has absolutely nothing to do with the original ten commandments, one of which specifically protects the right to life.
