    Gay Singer Aviance Beaten

    It boggles my mind that people would physically attack someone for being gay in this day and age. Sad, eh? I've been lucky enough never to have experienced "gay bashing" personally, but my partner has. She was severely beaten after leaving a gay bar one night in Calgary. It's horrifying to...

    Religious Left

    Here's one that made me go "say what??" when I ran across it at another forum I belong to... Ok, religious left ... isn't that a bit like saying pro-choice, pro-gay marriage right? What's the benefit to this blurring of the lines? I'm a lefty because I subscribe to the traditional views held...

    Choosing Moderators

    We deleted a thread re: Poll for having a member as a moderator. First of all, moderators are chosen by administration. Period. It's not a democratic vote. It's done with care, forethought and with the input of existing mods. That system is not going to change. We have set requirements...

    Religion VS Spirituality

    Thought I'd kick off this forum with a topic I always find interesting. I've always maintained that you can be spiritual without being religious, but you can't be truly religious without being spiritual. To me, "church" is a walk along the ocean (as I did today) or somewhere else that I feel...
