I wouldn’t say it’s malignant as that depends one the actions of said structure in its exclusivity or its actions where in it is pitting ones belief’s against another’s.... Every 2 months or so, I get a knock on my door; its either Jehovah’s Witnesses or Mormans...they give me their 5 minute spiel a hand of publications etc. explaining their faith..I'd say that’s pretty benign and they are well within their rights to do so, just as I when I say thx, I admire their strength of belief, but not their particular faith.......I am within my right .....I understand the view regarding all religion being divisive, and has lead to innumerable wars and other unspeakable acts... etc......but none the less, I think it also has done a great deal of good, in the end out weighing the negatives.......

Second, FWIW... Elton John, Neil Patrick Harris, Lance Bass, Richard Chamberlain, Melissa Etheridge, Rupert Everett, David Geffen, Sir Ian McKellen, George Michael, Boy George, George Takai....did your gaydar spot them before or after they publicly announced they were gay? I ask because you say Hillary, Al Gore and The Rock are gay as well. Quote:
Are you saying that because *gasp* T.R. Knight is gay? As for K.D. Lang, does this mean gay people cant listen to straight music because it means they might be straight? I've known one or two people with webbed feet, are they ducks? Holy headache, batman. Quote:

Re: What Does Thanksgiving Mean To Liberas?
It would seem you're receptive to their Christian missionary work (or you would have posted your property). Would you be as responsive to Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, Snake handlers or become weary of the crowd gathering at your door, each proclaiming to be the only true religion with some prepared to go to war as necessary to prove it?

Considering the fantastic success of Christian missionary work in disparate continents especially Asia and Africa, there must be something to the message...

Re: What Does Thanksgiving Mean To Liberas?
Depends on the frequency of missionaries appearing on their property. A couple a month would seem like one is on the open-minded list or within close proximity to one of their worship sites. While living in Las Vegas I became friends with several Mormons even though I didn't share their belief system and stories regarding their missionary work (required of all serious and able Mormons, generally two years after high school and before college) were most entertaining and yes, they had people appear nude, drunk and high with rude comments at the door to dissuade them. They, and the Jehovah's Witness who performs casual labor for me, all said they don't call on posted property.

Re: What Does Thanksgiving Mean To Liberals?
Oh, now that part of the post makes sense. Neil Patrick harris - Doogie. I don't really pay much attention to it, but I seem to recall he came out a bit ago. Any gaydar I may have (which seems to be none) didn't pick it up, either.
