The UU's have great sex class; so much better than any school. I stopped going so my ex could go. Now I don't go because I'm embarrassed - they had her arrested. Anyway, most have mixed beliefs from Wicca to multiple religions to atheist to agnostic to anyone willing to accept anyone.

God shouts to the man, how dare you ask me for help after denying me so long. The atheist thinks and agreed with god. The atheist asks god a favor, to make the bear a christian. God agrees. Everything unfreezes. The bear, still standing over the man puts his paws together and says, thank you Lord for this bounty you have brought me.

Depending on the translation, the word we say as virgin could mean simply young woman. And history of the time shows no calls for people to census or pay taxes at their home cities (Romans kept meticulous records). Also Herod died in 4BC. And no mentions of mass infanticide.

I really get the craps of it's heritage you wouldn't understand t-shirt people with the flag of Northern Virginia. I ask them questions they, stupidly, can't answer: what's the Stars and bars; what flag is that; and my favorite, why does that flag have 13 stars. And once I piss them off, I say, oh, I could join the son's of the confederacy as my Great grandfather fought. I'm glad he lost; I'm glad he lived; I'm glad my family had no slaves. Still, just being a part of a traitorous cause is nothing to be proud about.
