everything u read (that agrees with your logic) Is the Gospel.

No, it’s called benefit of the doubt, something certain folks here tend to keep giving tabloids and left-winged blogs about Sarah Palin's background.

I don't believe this, but most Christians believe homosexuality is a sin and that prayer may help the individual on a more Christian path.  My point is that, many churches believe this so if you are going to post this as an associated Criticism of Palin, it applies to most Christians as well.

240, can you stop contributing and spreading the bullshit attacks on Palin?  Stay with the credible stuff, there is enough there to discuss.  You've lost some of my respect for all the posts about her in the last 2 weeks.  You love to sensationalize...which is the worst thing about American politics.

For Christine Sneeringer, that Christian path included prayer, fellowship with Christian friends (particularly women, on a non-sexual basis), and appreciating her femininity.

Between seeing her father abuse her mother and her being molested by a male relative, Sneeringer's view of men became skewed, hence playing a role in her lesbianism.

My father was addicted to pornography, and he was verbally and physically abusive to my mother. Once I saw him hit her with a tennis racket. I vowed in my heart that I would never let any man hurt me like that. I resolved to be tougher and stronger than any man.

I hated being a girl because I didn't want to be a victim like my mom. I mistakenly believed that to be feminine was to be weak, so I gravitated toward showing masculine behaviors.

My older brother was my childhood hero. I wanted to be just like him. I hung out with him whenever he would let me, and I wore his hand-me-down clothes. I even copied his handwriting style.....

When I was 12, my parents divorced and sent me to live with relatives, where an older cousin molested me. Growing up, I had other experiences in which men took advantage of me. I never felt safe with men, so relationships with women seemed to be the only safe option.....

The key to my healing was developing healthy same-sex friendships. As I did this, my sexual attractions for women naturally diminished because I found what I was looking for all along -- real love and connections with others.

With God's help and the support of caring people, I now walk in freedom from lesbianism. I know that a changed life is possible because I am a changed person.

I've cut back greatly on the Palin posts.  A ton that first weekend when everything came out about her.   now, at most, 2 or 3 a day.
