NOT that I am in any way interested in what happens with these two but it does illustrate a question I've had about why some women ( beautiful, talented, rich, etc ) become involved with scumbags to the point of marrying them and having children. Is it the guys are such smooth operators that the women loses all her senses and cant see the guy for what he is until it's too late?

Am I the only one who saw that the poll numbers on most elections last night were very close. That hardly equates to "The American People kicking Republican Butt" or "A Mandate". Your side won, congratulations. But the Republican / conservative citizens arent going away or shutting up just because you did. Isn't the trash talking overdone and put your side in a rude light?

Christians - By Maya Angelou

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."

I'm whispering "I was lost,

Now I'm found and forgiven."

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I don't speak of this with pride.

I'm confessing that I stumble

And need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not trying to be strong.

I'm professing that I'm weak

And need His strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not bragging of success.

I'm admitting I have failed

And need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not claiming to be perfect,

My flaws are far too visible

But, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I still feel the sting of pain.

I have my share of heartaches

So I call upon His name

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not holier than thou,

I'm just a simple sinner

Who received God's good grace, somehow!

The way I understand it, the term "pagan" was first used by early Christians to describe any member of a religion not their own. It described any "cult" or it's member as being opposed to Christ. By using this term for yourselves are declaring that your opposition to Christianity? When I describe myself as a Christian, I am not saying I am opposed to other faiths, only that I follow the religion of Christ. Are you a "Pagan" only because you oppose Christianity or do you oppose other faiths as well? Would it not be more true to call yourselves Wiccan, Celtic, Druid, etc? Other faiths that have been called pagan, Hindu, Buddist, etc, do not refer to themselves as pagan. They seem to have faith in their religion as it stands not just how it might seem to stand in relation to Christianity.

When we were first dating, I aggreed to stop chatting ( with anyone ) because it made her uncomfortable that I was flirting too much. Because I would not say that I aggreed I was in the wrong, now whenever I'm online and having "contact" with actual people ( like Answers ) , she gets upset and says things like "I see you found new friends" sarcasticly.
