They do so in ceremonies and celebrations attended by friends and family as well as more private ceremonies. Together, then, they create homes. What can the law do? In the end, civil equality will win, and I will proudly tell my grand...

Thoughts of a dancing, loving, searching child of God. Monday, March 19, 2012. Religion: a faith or an excuse?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.". How far can it go?

That excuse just crawled in the corner, released one last pathetic whimper, and died of asphyxiation.
