University of Alabama: Getting Spiritual

Sorry w/ the posts.....lol But you said I could Dr. Simmons! lol....Plus, I don't want any SURPRISES! Lol! Anywho I found this video interesting. Does UA still have this every year or whatever? I would definitely attend if I knew about it. Not that I would change my religion but just to learn about others'.

More Finals!...Women, Religion, & Domestic Violence

This particular video touches on issues that I addressed in my paper. As I have said before in my paper, I don't believe that God/Jesus are for domestic violence & for a woman to have to stay in that situation.

Another Final.....What God Wants

This post is similar to my paper. My paper addressed oppression of blacks & women but this post uses a lot of examples how people use God & religion to "do what they want". Its pretty vulgar.

Final Post! Religious Opinions In The South.....hilarious!

Sorry guys....okay this is my last post...lol but I saw this vid yesterday on youtube & I figured I'd go ahead & post it. Its very interesting and funny, atleast to me! lol

Finale?

Okay so I just commented on the blog post about women and I decided to add a final post/blog of my own on the same subject matter from another perspective. Unfortunately I couldnt get the embedded code so you'll just have to click on the link. Gloria Steinem speaks at the Tulsa Community College and addresses feminism & religion, women's positions, and politics, etc. Feminism is often misunderstood in every spectrum, not just religion, so I thought this vid would shed some light on the issue. Other than that.....Happy Holidays to everyone! Season's greetings & Merry Christmas!

Paper??????????

My writing is all of sudden constipated after a horrible loss, an event I refuse to name. Ha! So Im really trying to push but nothing is coming out....nice metaphor, huh? Im not gonna stop trying though. This post just made me laugh so hopefully that perks me up enough to put in a couple more hours before the day is over. Tomorrow is another day....about 4 1/2 more pages to go....

Westboro Baptist Church

Lance Corporal Matthew Snyder, 20-year-old Marine, was killed in a Humvee accident in 2006 while deployed in Iraq.

Albert Snyder, the father of the dead Marine, won an $11 million verdict against the Westboro Baptist Church for intentional infliction of emotional distress, while picketing his son's funeral. A judge reduced the award to $5 million to avoid getting the reward thrown out altogether because of First Amendment Rights? Are you freaking serious? First Amendment Rights? Picketing a soldier's funeral with hostile and ass-crap signs like  "Thank God for Dead Soldiers", "You're Going to Hell", "God Hates You" and "God Hates the USA" is not exercising the First Amendments Rights/freedom of speech, that's manipulating constitutional rights and the Bible and exercising sheer stupidity and disrespect. Lawyers or any other legal advocates of the Westboro's actions being First Amendment privilidges, ought to be disbarred for even suggesting such nonsense. Picketing in a general area is one thing but at someone's funeral and at a soldier's funeral who just honorably served and gave his/her life for this country ought to be a crime. These people have taken God's words and mission and turned it into something evil and sick. Something needs to be done to stop these people from picketing military funerals. It seems more like terrorism than exercising freedom of speech. These people give a bad rep to Americans & Christians, and I say that as a Christian and as a retired American Soldier. Check out the stupidity below:
