A court ordered that a Gibson Les Paul a friend of mine got for HS graduation and was his main axe in a pretty successful band was “community property.”

C Stanley had a great one Sunday morning before going to church ...

You can trust in the faithfulness of God

Men will have intimacy with a woman who, in many cases even after marriage, is very willing to kill their child and people expect trust between the sexes

This insanity is ignored and it is the problem

Heard a woman who called in to a radio show this morning and was “heart-broken” because this great guy who was smart, had a great job, kind and thoughtful, and owned his own home hasn’t called her in a couple of weeks. In short, he was the man of her dreams.

She also mentioned that she hd a small child, and had been in about 10 abusive relationships.

My first thought was all the things she liked about this guy are the vey reasons he hasn’t called.

I have a nephew and that sounds just like him.

Men may not be getting married but an awful lot of them are in "baby jail" and that I am trying to drill into my son's head early and young is a situation far worse than being jilted. He's lucky no kids were involved.

[Salvation]

I think so too.

[Campion]

Men really have just abandoned their roles....its their doing.

Uh, right. And why would they do that ("abandoned their roles") if the rules of the game hadn't been dramatically changed? Read the article.

Pointing the finger at men isn't going to fix the problem.

He did shut down one of the Monsignor’s columns that I know of.

Even though one day you know the west will have to annihilate them in a bloody Crusade, you kinda thought that those muzzie dudes had a had a pretty good handle on how to treat their women. /sarc

Testosterone levels. Interesting.

When the future best selling, non fiction book explaining the root causes of the demise of Western civilization, I wonder whether there will be a sizable chapter devoted to the impact of “the Pill?" Significant changes in human morality and behavior on both genders were the direct result of this development.

G. K. Chesterton

"Surplus population"

"SCROOGE is not only as modern as Gradgrind but more modern than Gradgrind. He belongs not only to the hard times of the middle of the nineteenth century, but to the harder times of the beginning of the twentieth century; the yet harder times in which we live. Many amiable sociologists will say, as he said, "Let them die and decrease the surplus population." The improved proposal is that they should die before they are born.

"It is notable also that Dickens gives the right reply; and that with a deadly directness worthy of a much older and more subtle controversionalist. The answer to anyone who talks about the surplus population is to ask him whether he is the surplus population; or if he is not, how he knows he is not. That is the answer which the Spirit of Christmas gives to Scrooge."

~G.K. Chesterton: Introduction to A Christmas Carol. (1922)

I dropped out of this 18 years ago today. I am 60 years of age, never married, never “played the field”, and have no use for porn. I just concluded that I did not meet modern women’s unattainable standard. I am gainfully employed, keep myself in good health (not a couch potato), and have a wide variety of interests. But I have found that women will see all the good things, and think it’s too good to be true. So they will make up stuff. The one I was dating at the time (we’re talking bike rides, lunch, tame stuff, nothing immoral) decided to do some amateur detective work on the internet. One of the hits was a similar name, different middle name. That was it, in her mind she “found the dark secret”. I became this white supremacist Aryan Nation domestic terrorist child molester. She was convinced, she saw it on the internet! She proceeded to make my life miserable with this slander.
And where do they get these ideas of unattainable perfection and there must be some hidden dark secret? Soap operas. Romance novels. Not being in church. I found this to be so widespread that I concluded that it was no longer worth the pursuit. I will remain single.

Thus, they are missing out on the Sacrament of Matrimony and the graces included.

I blame micowave ovens.

I know he wants a family but
the cheating beyotch he was married to burned him.

I know the feeling

I have found Andy Stanley’s preaching style to be very different from his dad, but still very Biblical.

Can you point to any sermon or writing where Andy Stanley is heretical on the subject of homosexuality? I’d like to read or hear it for myself.
