If commiment, honesty and decency ever surface in American business , PUHlease let me know....
There was a time when a hand shake between two people in business meant something.. today the moral fiber of this nation has unraveled. Thanks to the liberal thinkers who hate morality especially aimed at the Word of the Bible.

Because the term evolved and is no longer solely used by Christians.

If Marriage was used for only Christian or religious unions, you'd have a point.

The fact is, marriage is both a social and a religious concept.

No, it's thanks to the righties who believe profit is the ONLY goal and nothing else matters.

Can atheist still get married? Bhuddist?

This may come as a shock to you, but there was marriage long before there was Christianity, and it existed all over the world in places that didn't have Christianity.

Marriage is not an exclusively Christian concept. It's pretty universal.

Why do you think you own a word?


HOW does it affect you what someone else calls their relationship?


How do other people's relationships affect you?


Are you a spokesperson for this god guy?

I heard a lot about him but I thought since he allegedly created everyone, he loved everyone....why don't you?

Good question....and as you can see there are lots of different answers.

Just imagine Congress trying to pass the Traditional Values Bill...now THAT would waste billions and come to nothing....



Maybe , since that "family values" thingy backfired so badly on the less than moral Republican "families" , this is there way of stirring the pot....a diversion...to keep eyes off the real issues which the Repubs refuse to address.

Most people usually just say "Bless You". I know I always have.

I've only heard old timers use "God Bless You".

"God Bless America" coming out of the Presidents mouth is quite different than "God Bless You" coming out of your grandmothers mouth...

The government should strongly regulate the production and sales of chastity belts, to make sure that Americans get the best quality. No more flimsy imports made in non-christian countries!
