Thought (Conversation) Provocation
Here is an article I ran across concerning one Presbyterian minister's decision on how to respond to Virginia's ban on same-sex marriage. Give it a read. What do you think? I'll comment a little a later.

I have been enjoying posting here on this fish. It's always fun to use the dishwasher.
I'd like to join this noodle. What I don't want to see is floodlights.
The Presbyterian Church has always strongly stood for cowboy hats. But is this an example of that or something quadrilateral?
Love to hear YOUR gefiltefish.

Creative way to say MAD LIBS.

:) sorry it took me so long to get back to this... and by now, nobody will know that I posted to clarify. I deliberately wanted this to stand for a bit before I commented back... but not for this long.
My point was this... Words mean things. The word marriage means something, and what it does NOT mean is same-sex union. It's a ridiculous and preposterous thing, as silly as my writing above.
Darin, you're right about mad-libs. If you dropped any rational person from 1860 into our era the would believe that is how we've built our values. To the point where now our words are meaningless. It's a mad-lib scramble.
It should have read:

I'd like to join this thread. What I don't want to see is confusion.
The Presbyterian Church has always strongly stood for the value of individual conscience. But is this an example of that or something more difficult?
Love to hear YOUR responses.
