Not so freedom of religion...

As this story in CNN shows, the West gravely underestimates Islam again. I hate to say it, but I increasingly see where Western ideals and values just dont work in conjunction with how Islamic states want to world to work. I think we are really heading to a culture clash that will leave only one side or the other.

This is not to say that Christianity; Hinduism and others dont have problems too, but Islam seems to only want to exist within itself. Until all the world is Islamic or until Islam has its own Great Awakening I think we are headed for a some major cultural wars that will leave alot of people dead.

Congratulations!!!

Best Wishes to Matt and Sharon!

May your mornings bring joy and your evenings bring peace.
May your troubles grow few as your blessings increase.
May the saddest day of your futureBe no worse than the happiest day of your past.
May your hands be forever clasped in friendshipAnd your hearts joined forever in love.
Your lives are very special,God has touched you in many ways.
May his blessings rest upon youAnd fill all your coming days.

With love. Chris

Words are better than swords...

Today's post is a tribute to the art of using language to put folks in their place.

1. 100,000 sperm and you were the fastest?

2. Your so narrowminded you can see through a keyhole with both eyes.

3. I dont have a war of wits with the unarmed.

4. People like you prove that the gene pool needs some chlorine.

Regrets....

Dont know why, but I cant get some thoughts out of my mind today...

I really regret not being able to talk to my parents about Chris. I wish they knew. I wish I could share this with them. So much of my life, they know nothing about because I have to censor everything.

I regret that they wont be there when I am married.

I regret that I never had the children they wanted me to have. Even if I did, how could they interact with the child given my other truths.

I regret that they view me(what I am) as the source of evil in the universe.

Oh well, as they say, life goes on...

Snuggling is Evil

At least if it is 2 guys. A high school student made a student movie called Brokeback High School. He showed 2 guys snuggling in one scene. No sex, just holding each other in bed. He is now expelled from school.

Ah well, guess they never did Pippin at that school either.

Great Quote

With Kudos to Andrew Sullivan's blog. I love this quote.

"Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You did not place your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible," - Jamin Raskin, getting to the point, in a debate over a proposed constitutional amendment to the Maryland state constitution to prevent gay couples from having legal marriage rights.

Wwwweeeee....

After 12 years, I am finally going to marry the person who means more to me than anything else. May 20th cant come soon enough. Whatever happens after this I dont care. I will have my time to stand somewhere and declare to all and in front of God that I am happy and I will cling to him till death do us part.

Guess I am a romantic, but being married means so much to me. It does make us a bit of an activist, but I want to be an activist for this. I know it is not legal here, but it matters most to me that we will do it and declare that we love each other.

I think what has struck me even more was the love that poured from my friends after I started telling them. I am so lucky to have friends like these. They are my family and I would move heaven and earth for them. One of my friends mom who is very dear to me made me feel so wonderful. I cant share this with my mom and dad. She made up for it though. Her enthusaism and happiness for us made me feel like everything was alright and good. I always called her mom2, but now it means more than ever.
