This is sad. In a world that's falling down, where we ordinary peacemakers struggle to keep some semblance of humanity in daily life, even if just common courtesy, a large so called Christian group has nothing better to do than call for a boycott of the American TV show "Dancing With the Stars."
Because of the show's inclusion of Chaz Bono, Cher's daughter turned endearing son, and Carson Kressely, a fabulously sweet gay man, onemillionmomsdotcom is reported as saying, "Christians should not watch the show, no excuses." (if you do, they'll smack you in the crotch with a ruler, i imagine...)
(and anyway, these kinds of persnickety "Christians" should already SO NOT be watching that skimpily costumed, lust inducing show...)
Chaz Bono and Carson Kressely have the same heart, soul, mind, humanity, intelligence, as any of us, and probably MORE compassion, considering the hate they face, and the arduous struggle endured to become who they are.
Our teacher said, Do not judge. Our teacher went about doing good. Our teacher brought life, light and hope. The only ones he judged were the religious types, NEVER the common person. Remember Mary Magdalene?
Stop showing us what you are against, and start showing us your LOVE. Perhaps then, more will believe.

if people (me included) would pray as much as we kvetch, the world would be transformed!
It's incredible the amount of hate generated by people who follow the same Christ who preached nothing but love and kindness and forgiveness.
Go Chaz!!!! Dance your heart out!!
Take care

Hello:
We are very much in agreement with you here. Negativity cannot be the answer, rather things which one feels to be unworthy need to be addressed by showing an incredibly positive alternative. As you say, in that way, perhaps more would be attracted to the ways of peace or at least to try and make their small contribution to making the world a better place.
old kitty you are just the kindest sweetest kitty i know, and H you have the nicest and most elegant of hearts! Thank You!
Ouch! A ruler to the crotch! Yikes! I agree with you though, too often we act nothing like our teacher.
thanks Anne, i miss you Italians! lots of love...
