\"\"<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>Please stop quoting the Bible to justify anything you do considered “wrong” Ted Haggard.\u00a0Not that I could quote the\u00a0Bible\u00a0if anyone asked me. Does the Lord’s\u00a0Prayer count?\u00a0 No, I am not going to hell. \u00a0No I do not think you are the devil and no I do not think the devil made you do anything against your will.\u00a0 You have probably always been gay-you’ve known it for a long time-and your wife probably knew it too.\u00a0There is nothing wrong with being gay.\u00a0 It is not a disease.\u00a0 It is not something that happens upon your spirit one night deep in the dark.\u00a0C’mom Ted,\u00a0were\u00a0you not the most free in the deep, in the dark- all snuggled up to your\u00a0man thing in the heat of an honest…… massage?<\/em>\u00a0 Live your life\u00a0Teddy, Praise Jesus. \u00a0God did not give you this as a test.\u00a0 AND if he did you failed-not because you are gay-but because you lied and you took money to keep lying.\u00a0\u00a0 And how dare those very scary, pastey looking eldermen kick you out of Colorado until they felt you had time to repent and be a real man without any tendencies.\u00a0 At all.\u00a0 No sir no way.Doth those scary pastey eldermen protest too much. Sweet Jesus?\u00a0You mega church people are all just a little too freaky for me. How can they kick you out\u00a0of a state?\u00a0 All that money and all that power.\u00a0 In the name of the Lord. \u00a0Stop putting your children through this craziness and be who you are.\u00a0 God will love you more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0I learned a long time ago those who preach the loudest are doing the exact thing they preach against- they just think God is an invisable force field they can hide behind. \u00a0True Story:\u00a0 A very prominent preacher in the small town I grew up in used to send hate mail to our family because of what my father did for a living.\u00a0 This same preacher used to shout as us as we left the driveway, picket our house\u00a0at Christmas and call all of us names in the “name of God”.\u00a0 He was defiant in his stand against us as a family-because of what my father did.\u00a0 He was doing the work of God-by\u00a0gosh.\u00a0 So he was entitled.\u00a0 We were an abomination and were sure to burn\u00a0in hell.\u00a0\u00a0My whole family.\u00a0I\u00a0was in Jr. High.\u00a0 Great age to\u00a0have a preacher picket your house.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0He carried his Bible like a baby unless he was shaking it at us or clutching it in one hand with a candle for Christ<\/em> in the other.\u00a0 This went on for years.\u00a0 Then it stopped.\u00a0 It all went away.\u00a0 This preacher had gotten his 14 year old daughter pregnant.\u00a0Did God tell him to fuck his own daughter?\u00a0Boy was this preacher in trouble now. \u00a0He needed someone to fix the problem ( because God was a little slow and\u00a0his daughter was\u00a0getting bigger by the week)\u00a0 Guess who had to help him?\u00a0 Guess whose door he knocked on in the still of the night?\u00a0 The problem was solved and the preacher\u00a0was reported. \u00a0I was never called the butcher’s daughter again.<\/p>\n

Someone please tell me why conservatives are so against stem cell research- yet they have no problem with a Fertility Frankenstein who implants 8 eggs into the womb of a single mother living with her parents who ALREADY HAS 6 CHILDREN under the age of 10- she can not afford?\u00a0 This is not the work of God.\u00a0 This is the work of a very strange doctor and an even stranger woman WHO AGREED TO THIS.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Oh. And.\u00a0 God is not giving that Duggar woman 18 miracle\u00a0children.\u00a0 She does not use birth control and she has lots of sex.\u00a0 I would not like to be her womb, or her back, or her legs………..or her boobs.\u00a0 Don’t think TLC is not paying them to be on TV.\u00a0 God told them to sign a contract that included a book deal and at least three seasons with an option to renew and an extra bonus for ONE MORE BABY!!! with only a name that can begin with J; one episode must include a wedding.\u00a0 God is getting residuals too.\u00a0 I just betcha.<\/p>\n

Sarah Palin:\u00a0 Go away.\u00a0 Please.\u00a0 Just go away.\u00a0But first, tell me the name of the doctor that every so slightly fixes your face.\u00a0 You are 45.\u00a0\u00a0 You have had 5 children.\u00a0You are in politics and in the business of lying.\u00a0You should have wrinkles.\u00a0 You don’t.\u00a0 Fess up-tell us all-\u00a0if you really want to be in the bosom of women everywhere who are “just like you”.<\/p>\n

God did not plan this economic meltdown to teach us.\u00a0 People got mortgages they could not afford.\u00a0 People overspent and credit cards made is easy.\u00a0The welfare system is way over taxed.\u00a0 We teach people not to work in this country.\u00a0There have always been people who misuse money-especially when it belongs to someone else.\u00a0AND it is not just in the big companies.\u00a0 I\u00a0witnessed one woman steal from a small community center and everyone\u00a0sat back and watched her do it.\u00a0 I tried to tell them-but\u00a0she was\u00a0just as good at lying as she was\u00a0at\u00a0stealing. They usually are.\u00a0 Once\u00a0it\u00a0was all out in the open do you think anybody talked about it?\u00a0 God no. Heaven forbid.\u00a0\u00a0It was in God’s plan.\u00a0 Yes, just like all the money she\u00a0stole\u00a0was put into her\u00a0Florida property.\u00a0 God told her too.\u00a0 Just after he told her to buy a $70, 000 car she could not afford and\u00a0here we go again:\u00a0 have another baby.\u00a0 God told her someone would help her get out of the situation she was in-and someone did. An entire board.\u00a0\u00a0Because they had too much pride to admit they were wrong.\u00a0There have always been corporate VIP’s who make too much money and spend it on things like an $18,000 shower curtain, another private jet or hookers.\u00a0Did\u00a0you notice these\u00a0people never\u00a0share the wealth or do something\u00a0for the greater good with it? Oprah does not count. \u00a0We are just in the vortex of it all going wrong at the same time.\u00a0 You can blame Bush.\u00a0 Or blame God for getting Bush elected.\u00a0 wait.\u00a0 wasn’t that us?\u00a0 Twice.\u00a0Not than I really like Suzy Ormon yelling at me-but she does have a point.\u00a0 If you don’t have it-don’t get it.\u00a0 I know it is hard. For once I want to know what it is like to have extra money to spend.\u00a0 I want to know the freedom of an education fund for my daughter so she can go to school\u00a0wherever she wants.\u00a0 To sponsor something beneficial with my pocket change-to go on a family vacation and not worry the whole time.\u00a0 To not worry.\u00a0 To send Peter and Paul away.\u00a0 FOR GOOD.\u00a0 To not have to demand I get paid on-time and to get paid what I am worth.\u00a0 To stop having to chase the money I am owed.\u00a0 To not have to worry if my mother’s money runs out how I will afford to let her die where she wants to.\u00a0 To be the change money allows you to be.\u00a0 I know it starts in your soul-but it also starts in your pocket.\u00a0 To sit back and watch my left over money make money so my beloved can make furniture, or use any of his super talent to\u00a0fulfill his dream……..<\/p>\n

I love my dogs.\u00a0 I do.\u00a0 But this current condition one of them\u00a0has calls for one of us to “thoroughly wash the entire anal area” with special soap and then “apply ointment to entire anal area”.\u00a0 Guess whose turn it was this morning?<\/p>\n
