I've been to Orient Beach in St. Martin which is a clothing Optional beach. The nudist were older and not well built. I also have been to Jamaica where the resort I stayed in had a nude beach next to the regular beach.

divorce lawyers make thousands of dollars every year handling the breakups of over 50% of all the marriages in this country.

children end up being pulled in both ways during drawn-out legal custody battles.

aside from money issues, another big reason people file for divorce is infidelity.

Isn't it a tax write-off?

Is Islam a religion of peace?

by onacruse in

the october 2003 christianity today has an article entitled "competing claims about islam...is it a religion of peace or of violence?

" selected quotes (no link available):sometimes the religion is shown as violent, promoting jihad (holy war), and providing theological justification for acts of terrorism.

at other times, especially when american adherents to islam are represented, the religion is described as one of peace.. "either view of islam can be demonstrated by just picking certain verses in the qu'ran and certain illustrations from history," fuller seminary professor dudley woodberry says.

Well this will probably cause a stir but I don't see Christianity as a religion of peace. Throughout European history some of the bloodiest wars were fought in the name of the Christian God.

washington - the supreme court said tuesday it will decide whether the pledge of allegiance recited by generations of american schoolchildren is an unconstitutional blending of church and state.

the case sets up an emotional showdown over god in the public schools and in public life.

If we have freedom of speech and are able to say what we want, then we should also have the freedom NOT to say the Pledge of Allegiance.
