According to Rush Limbaugh's POV, she just might be.
She's going into those crack dens to minister to them, of course.
The little dusting of powder that gets under her nose is just one of the dangers of the job.

"really KelRel, you've NEVER felt unwelcome here as a Christian? There have been several ocassions where I've felt ostracized as one of the few Christian's on this board. It's easy for people here to bash and mock Christians because they feel so abused by them...number one, that's hypocritical. Number two, you have to respect fellow board members; I couldn't go on a sports board and start gay-bashing just because I assume no one there is gay.
I'm all for people expressing their opinions and beliefs, but I and other board members deserve respect as Christians who belief what we will but have never 'gay-bashed', etc. It's like you are trying to drive away the one group of people who don't do all those things you accuse Christians of doing...this should be a chance to show Christians how loving you say you are, not showing them how hateful and bitter you can be."


Sorry I'm late on replying to this one, but to answer your question- No, I have never felt unwelcomed as a Christian on this board. You are are not "one of the few Christians on this board". I could name quite a few very quickly off of the top of my head. There have been a few instances where someone has come in and made comments about how all gays are this or all people who support gays are that etc... and you better believe that people have come out of the woodwork to put them in their place and make them feel unwelcomed here. I will join in and engage in a debate with anyone who does that and I will challenge their claim of being a Christian because judging people and damning them to Hell and being anything other than loving, compassionate, forgiving, and generous is going against the teachings of Christ, which we as Christians try to follow. If someone can not accept that there are other lifestyles than their own in the world and use the Bible as their excuse to mock, defame, and discriminate others then they are not true Christians. I could go on a huge rant, but I won't. The main point here is that if you come here with an open mind and are willing to discuss things civily and are interested in learning from the amazing people who post here then there is no need to fear coming under attack because of your faith, in fact I have found numerous oppertunites where talking about my faith has been encouraged. If you are having problems here as a Christian then I suggest that you evaluate how you represent yourself and your faith before you blame other people for the way you are treated. Perhaps you are the offending one?

I think that the beard does help him not look like something that came off the mattel assembly line.

Homophobes suck.

[ZONEACE]

Posted: 4/8/06 at 11:38pm

Homophones suck too.

[Serenade]

Posted: 4/9/06 at 12:49am

Yeah, but not nearly as much as homophobes do.

[ZONEACE]

Posted: 4/9/06 at 1:03am

I don't know, i'd have to side with the homophones. They are tricky bastards and they really suck

[Serenade]

Posted: 4/9/06 at 1:18am

Oh well, your call.


But yeah, people like Mandicksa can go bone themselves.

She is on the View ( I believe) sometime this week. I hope Joy brings it up.

Can someone explain the beard joke Simon said to Ryan.... I don't get it. lol

[erikaamato]

Posted: 4/10/06 at 3:39pm

Do you really not get it, or are you kidding? (I had to explain it to my husband, actually. He had never heard the term "beard" before.)

[Mantber]

Posted: 4/10/06 at 3:55pm

Nope I'm serious I'm so lost haha

[erikaamato]

Posted: 4/10/06 at 4:00pm

Here ya go:

EDITED TO ADD: So obviously Simon telling Ryan to "Get rid of the beard" could have a significant double meaning.

Thanks Erika, I was a little lost on that one too.

No problem at all. (Like I said, my husband didn't get it, either.) =)

I hope Joy rakes her over the coals. Personally, I can't believe they would book this no-name, talent-free, hack, or have the been getting all the singers voted off of Idol.

Dottie, it will be interesting to see what Ellen does!
She loves this show. She had Kevin on after he was kicked to the curb and she liked Mandisa.

Mandiva is on Dayside (Fox News Channel) right now. She said Steven Spielberg went up to her and told her she a face made for the camera.

Maybe he wants her for a remake of ET

I was going to say Jurassic Park.

ET?

I think she'd be better as the boulder in the Indiana Jones remake
