I’m not one to defend SuzieQ on this blog, nontheless, my sense of what SuzieQ was saying was akin to one being born into a Catholic family, a Presbyterian family, an Episcopalian family, a Baptist family or a Methodist family. We are born into the families we are born into. Typically, we are reared in the belief system that exists in that family.

I’m still trying to figure out how, as ‘suzie’ says, someone is ‘born Catholic’. I thought we were all born sinners.

Another Chuck – I think you mean “blue slipping”. Blue slipping is the procedure the House of Representatives uses to shelve tax bills initiated by the Senate, which, according to the Constitution, can’t be the starting point for legislation that raises revenue.

So the stalling tactics and obstructionism all stem from the House which is presently controlled by the Republican majority.

Kristen, You made me giggle! My thoughts exactly.

I know that my belief and the beliefs of many others in the valley do not walk hand-in-hand with the Christian outlook, but I hope that the people responsible will feel ashamed and embarrassed at their hate and bigotry towards others simply because they lead a different life.

I will say this, if a religious establishment were to be vandalized and an Atheist were to have committed that crime, I would be the first one there to clean, and raise money to help replace the property.

People work hard for the things they have, and its sad that we have to worry about things like this today.

It is just so frustrating. We are peaceful, and intend to forever be peaceful. But ignorant cowards will be cowards.

Art, the senate has a proposed bill that they have blue flagged.
I will repeat, the house has passed the only bill. The senate has done nothing
In 3.5 years, including passing a budget.
