Re: President Bush's Church
And what do you feel about that Everose?
Not being a Christian, I try not to comment on pieces that only affect those of a particular church etc...
Re: President Bush's Church
I am very glad that that the Episcopal Church of the USA backed the election of Gene Robinson as Bishop of New Hampshire, RF. Very glad.
Is that what you were asking of me?

I was indeed, trying to get your opinion. ;)
Re: President Bush's Church
Thank you for asking me then, RF. :)
Re: President Bush's Church
Just for the record, Bush isn't an Anglican, he's a Methodist.
What was your intention on posting this?

Re: President Bush's Church
Sorry, Magic Nakor. I heard he attends St. John's Episcopal Church across from the white house and assumed it was his church. He is actually Methodist.'
I was baptized as a babe in the Methodist Church and confirmed into the Episcopal Church as an adolescent. I guess it kind of bugged me that we could have grown up in the same church and had such differences in that area of thought.
But the reason I posted this? Well, because I wanted to. :D I was a wee bit proud of American Episcopalians, even though I am no longer affiliated with an Episcopal Church.

I don't support same-sex marriages. People who say "you're wrong, and you live in the past" and "you don't know what you're talking about, give them (gays/lesbians) their freedoms". Remember this though, evolution is designed so the fittest survive, AIDS doesn't help that much. lol, if I was president or PM, I'd see to it personally that same-sex marriages are banned.

Re: President Bush's Church
The Episcopal Church isn't the Anglican Church either, although if the Anglican finally fractures certain parts might join up. It's not a new issue, particularly in regards with the Anglicans; this split has been ongoing for several years now. I would like to get a copy of that report though. Could be interesting reading.
With regards to same-sex marriage, for the most part, you could slap whatever name you want on it if "marriage" is too troublesome due to religious connotation, but ensure the same legal rights as marriage, and many of the issues would disappear.
As for "survival of the fittest," at least in much of Europe and North America, our technology has transcended our need to be the epitome of health to survive.
