		<description>Oh and I have a few choice words for Ashton Kutcher, but I&#039;ll save them. He&#039;s definitely not the brightest guy on the block...

Not the most intelligent, but he is the most famous on that panel. His presence just speaks to the influence of Hollywood in selling such Godless, erroneous views. Youth may not have any particular stance on this gay marriage issue; but if Ashton Kutcher says its good; it&#039;s good.

With the support of celebrities--their lending their voice, money, and presence to this issue--this movement will be almost impenetrable.</description>

		<description>I find it very interesting that one of the core beliefs of anti-Semites, if you trace it back to the time of Hitler and nazism,  is that Jews were unworthy of life because of their melding church and state. Dislike for something that is so natural, one&#039;s spiritual views informing how government was doled out fueled the hatred of Jews and now, the next target is Christians...The time when Christians will undergo worldwide persecution is upon our heels, folks.

I appreciate this article, because whenever I talk to my co-workers who are Democrats; they feel that whatever postion Republicans or religious conservatives take regarding abortion, same-sex marriage and the economy, is faulty because it blurs church and state. But here, clearly, Obama&#039;s religious convictions are coloring how he views and will repeal legislation in this country. Whether its covertly (in the case of Obama) or openly (in the case of Bush), religion will always have some sway on how political leaders rule. I just think it may be mroe comforting to have leaders&#039; whose beliefs are out in the open...</description>

		<description>I would be amazed with everything on his plate that he gets anywhere near dealing with DOMA.
I would think economy and international issues would come first and then enviroment and then, maybe they might get around to other stuff</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;&quot;he struggled with sexual desires that were out of step with societal norms&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

I noticed you said this is your book blurb, and couldnt help but point out your sexual desires were actually out of step with God&#039;s Word, not society. As a priest you should uphold God&#039;s word, not try to discourage people from following the truth.</description>

		<description>Very interesting comments and clip.  It is refreshing to read and see people rationally and charitably discussing the issue of same-sex unions.  I am a retired Priest of the Anglican/Episcopal Church and have just recently published my autobiography which quite naturally deals with my struggle as a gay and spiritual person.  It is an attempt to deal with the &#039;flesh and the spirit&#039; and understand that they are not contradictory or in opposition as so often is claimed.  The book is titled &quot;A Priest&#039;s Tale&quot; and can be found on the Amazon site and through my own web site.
Many thanks for your blogs and articles.      Donald+</description>
