  While I am not myself a christian, I somehow felt the need (in the name of fairness) to point out that many active christians do not hold anti-womens rights, anti-gay, anti-outside faith, and other such negative beliefs.

  For one thing, the Episcopal church has ordained women and IIRC performed gay marriage. The Catholics have made several proclamations recently which show tolerance of other faiths. Plus -

  (Rice) said Wednesday that she refuses to be “anti-gay,” “anti-feminist," “anti-science” and “anti-Democrat.”

  Anti-Democrat? That is just so far away from reality that it does not even deserve comment.

  Anti-Science? Many churches allow for evolution and many scientists are christians. They no longer think the earth is the center of the universe, for example.

  Comments from any Christians on board here?

  What I can't remember is if it could be gramatically correct to put the verb at the end in some cases.

  It has been 40 years since I had a Latin class, but I do not remember them putting the verb at the end of the sentence.

  I thought only German did that.

  Why'd she feel the need to come out and say she's quiting Christianity? Couldn't she just quit? She could fade without any fallout, right?

  Which is why I suspected self-promotion in all this.

  You need to remember that those people in China making that Wal-Mart stuff are practically working under slave conditions for slave wages.

  Those factories do not have U.S.-style safety or emissions standards.

  Their stuff will not be so cheap after this inevitably changes.

  My take is that if it were really Satan (which would in fact be the big point of the whole story if true) - then the bible verses would have just said so.

  This is not unlike the star at Jesus birth - the WTBTS goes to great lengths to say Satan put it there. If that is true, why doesnt the scripture just say so?
