After this post, I will most likely not touch on the subject ever again. Please understand that I'm not homophobic (I have many gay, lesbian, and bisexual friends that I have come to love but still disagree with.), racist, or intolerant. At least I try my best not to be. But it grieves me so much that people still continue to argue with me in anger. I've been getting so many comments about my intolerance and ignorance of the rights of homosexuals to marriage. So much so that it's been mentally draining on me to respond to each of them. I'm truly sorry if I've angered many of you, and I hope you can come to forgive me. But for now, let's just agree to disagree . It is apparent that I cannot sway any of you; and it was never my intention. It's not my job to change your minds. That is between you and God. Anger does not allow one to think clearly. Instead, it turns us into creatures who rely just on emotion and not logic . Responding in anger wi...

Thanks for continuing to respond on this issue. On your comment about the lawsuits, it has already happened. Now you can argue against it however many times you see fit, but the facts are there. If churches still have that 2nd amendment right, then why is Congress considering a law that won't even let preachers stand up at the podium and even read Romans 1 (which talks about marriage between a man and woman)? It has already happened in Canada where a preacher was arrested for preaching against homosexuality. And it will soon happen here. When I responded that gay couples would be going to churches to get married, I did forget about the marriage license in the process. I'm really sorry about that. You have a valid point there. However, there will be gay couples demanding to have the ceremony in churches that won't allow it. And there is a possibility that those churches will be sued. And your point about hating the sin not the sinner is also valid. However, that n...

I'm not a theologian or an expert on this issue. And I certainly don't have any significant authority that anyone including yourself should believe. However, I am entitled to a right to Truth. And (you can disagree with me on this completely) God's word is entirely true. From what you have commented on my blog, you appear to be in on Christianity. Nevertheless, let's be frank. How can you accept Truth and deny it in the same way? From my point of view (again, I'm sure there are others who don't see it this way) it seems that your reasoning is deeply fallible. Read the Bible. In the first chapter of Romans, Paul clearly states what God has ordained as marriage. Again, like I counter argued with Katrine, we can deliberate on the origins of marriage but that would probably not get us anywhere. You say that you're deeply disappointed. Well, I'm truly sorry to say; but I feel the same way about you. You cannot profess to love God and follow what Man...

"That's all well and good, but you must be forgetting about the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; You see, when the government starts favoring any one group, others may be outcast. While this may get you want you want now, what's to say it doesn't bite you in the ass later? Really, Prop 8 shouldn't even be considered. It is completely unconstitutional. Also, when you think about it(if you disagree with Luther that thinking is a Sin) Prop 8 doesn't "protect" anything. All it does is remove people's rights. It's an oppressive law and nothing else. Last I checked, fascism was a bad thing." I'm curious to know what your reasoning is for your last sentences here. Prop 8 indeed does protect something. The Family. And where does it say that Luther taught that Thinking was a sin? I don't quite und...

I'd like to leave a comment for Katrine. I'm curious as to why you think I'm Baptist. I don't think I ever mentioned that in any of my blogs and I don't profess to be one. However, I am a believer in Christ and I go to a Bible believing/preaching church that loves ALL people. If you'd like to know more about them, you can visit their website sometime. www.callonjesus.com And this hate you commented about..you are right about it. In that one perspective. However, you said that "they hate the law." Well, who creates the laws Katrine? People like you and me. So would it not make sense to logically conclude that in essence, they do hate us? What you said about it not hurting people...well, actually it does. My reference to extortion and murder was not one made without reason. Have you heard about children going to school and being forced to learn about homosexual marriage? Recently, a first grade class was taken on a field trip to a lesbian we...

One of my old classmates from Faith Baptist was burning Yes on Prop 8 signs recently. I was totally crying. I mean, do they really hate us that much? Well I can't hate them. I could never hate sinners. Because I'm one too. But I WILL stand for what is right. And a Yes on Prop 8 IS right. God created marriage to be between ONE man and ONE woman. And those who think otherwise are perverting and destroying the foundation upon which marriage was built. How much lower can we fall? As a society, what else will we say is okay? Homosexuality is a SIN. Should we say that murder is okay too? How about extortion and fraud? They are definitely sins, but people would say, "Well, it's right for them." "Equality for everyone." This isn't right, folks. Seriously, what would the patriarchs of this country say if they heard about this? I bet they'd be weeping too. I'm going to pray for the people who say No on Prop 8. I'm not going to ha...

Okay, don't even get me started on this one. I'll put up my views on Prop 8 later on since I gots a Homecoming to go to. But I will say this. There was a few gay weddings being held @ CSUN. Yea, ON CAMPUS. Sorry, but that totally ruined my day. And I'm talking the occasion, not the people there, okay? Write more laterrrr!!!!

Hey everybody!!! Or in my case, NOBODY. except for my friend tammy who's probably reading this and laughing her head off. HA.HA. I was just looking through my very few posts, and came across my PHO post. *DROOL* That sounds/looks/tastes/smells SOOO good right now. I mean, it's freakin' COLD outside! Why not? Anyway, so I was looking through all the pics I took this week...AND I just decided to put up like a MILLION posts about all of them!! MUAHAHA...so go ahead! Scroll right on down. I'm not sure you'll find anything too interesting. At least I had fun telling you this nonsense. Well, I'm off to my high school's homecoming. I don't think it'll be much of one since it's RAINING like the hulk outside. HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. losers. oooh, did I say that??? Oh yea, miss AMY perfect RASMUSSEN!! I just called CHOO A LOOOOZZZAAAHHH!! *looks around*.....*runs away cackling*

Don't forget to vote.

Okay, this may seem REALLY REALLY REALLY juvenile (considering that I'm in college now), but I just received thEE most dramatic news in Faith Baptist history...well. I don't know that for sure, but it's pretty crazy. All right, you ready? GET THIS. Julieanne RASMUSSEN got expelled! Seriously! One of their own!! The Pastor's KID!! And for what heinous act has this girl been punished for??? What you prod??? A BOY. That's right. For doing "something" ( we know not) that deserved the ultimate punishment: EXPULSION. Now, my head is totally spinning, so I'll post more later. But on a lighter note: I've resolved to DEFINITELY find a job so that I can buy as much clothes as I can. Because God knows I love fashion and I'd like to lean on my own finances to do so. So if any of you reading this have a job opening you heard about in the West Hills/Canoga Park/Woodland Hills area, I'd be very appreciative! Alright folks!! PEACE!!

I honestly don't know what to put here right now. I guess I'm just filling in space so that I don't skip too many days. hahaa...if you're reading this, I'm so sorry. total waste of time, my friend!! Unless of course you don't mind reading random things on blogs, then it's perfectly fine. To put somewhat of a subject on this, in a matter of minutes, I'm going to be debating on karma and reincarnation and why both do not make sense. HOPEFULLY, I won't be forgetting all the things I learned over the week. Anyway, put more later!!! PRAY FOR ME!!!!!! Hope you all have a blessed day!

I read this on my pastor's blog this morning and personally, I agree with him. And I'm not trying to bash homosexuals. I love them, and all other kinds of people...because that's what God calls us to do; to love. And I really do sincerely mean it. I always get frustrated and cry over the fact that people think I'm being negative about gays and lesbians. Let me set the record straight. I'M NOT. Far from it. Just now, my mom told me that someone tossed our "Vote YES on Prop 8" sign in our backyard. My dad had placed it in the front and it's OBVIOUS people don't like it. But where's the free speech in this??? Homosexuals and Pro-Choice people can openly say what they want, but we can't? I CAN'T?? I find this to be a fallacy...CIRCULAR REASONING. Please don't misunderstand and don't misconstrue what I've said. It really breaks my heart when things like this happen. So please, keep reading. My pastor's blog rea...

WOW...NOW I know why I'm in group 1. THANK YOU BLAKE!! AHAHA, I totally feel like an idiot now. Who knew that I would be the first narrator of the play?? WHO KNEW????? ^_^ Anyway, I'm so happy right now. Talk more later...Got LIFE!Group tonight!

Well...I did it. I emailed Blake. Hopefully, I'll get a "Whoops, sorry about that. I meant somebody else whose name starts with 'S'." And I'll say, "No problem! Just wondering! See you at rehearsal on Tuesday!" My goodness, I'm just a magnet for embarrassment sometimes, huh? Well, MOST of the time, I mean. And now, I have to go see a man about a wallabe EW

You know that feeling when it's like everything is going wrong? When life just SUCKS DIRT?? Yea, I'm there. Haha, that sounded like the State Farms commercial. But it's true for this blue duck. I'm not exactly doing that well in English, and I'm in a singing group that I didn't even audition for. ODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDAH. And I just KNOW I'm going to fall flat on my face. Anyway, I'll vent later. Watching Season 3 of Veronica Mars ^_^ WHOOO HOO!
