Political Views Quiz
This a little something just for fun, one of
those quizzes people make up for Facebook. I answer some questions, and it

graphs at this posting.

YouTube showing someone getting
exorcised.

Follower of Jesus? Or just an admirer?
I wrote this after a sermon at church really struck me as it covered the question "Are you a follower of Jesus, or just an admirer?" One of those sermons that make you squirm.

I have persistently opposed the proposed Hate Crimes legislation, writing to my Congressmen multiple times to voice my objection to the laws. The story and video in this blog posting provoked some thoughts in me about the way Hate Crimes laws would be enforced.
Aside from the thoughts on Hate Crimes, this story is a sad one of the degree of hate some people are filled with.
