New Blog

Well, I have started a new blog. I don't know what it is, but this site just hasn't been getting any traffic. So, click here to visit it.

Let me know what you think.

Until next time...

Jumping to early conclusions...

Well, I believe I did jump to a slight early conclusion yesterday. I was listening to an early morning radio show (secular), when I heard them say that a prominent Southern Baptist figure said that homosexuality was genetic and that a baby's sexual orientation could be changed in the womb.

I will admit that this got me a little upset, but I also have to admit that I didn't read the Southern Baptist figure's article -- until today. After reading his first post, and the post he wrote today, I can kind of see where he was meaning to go with what he was saying. So, Mr. Albert Mohler, I apologize for jumping to conclusions.

I invite you to go to his blog (click the title of this article to jump to his site) and read for yourself. He was actually citing another writer, then he laid out what a genetic cause for homosexuality could mean for society if it were true. It is all very disturbing.

However, I still disagree with Mr. Mohler. While I do agree that we are all made in God's image, I can not see how God could create a human to be predisposed to homosexuality through genetics. Why would God create someone to automatically be gay, and then condemn them for being homosexual? It just doesn't make any sense. True, Adam and Eve did sin against God in the Garden, but their genetic make-up was completed before they sinned. Upon their sin, God cursed Adam to work by the sweat of his brow, and he cursed Eve to have pain during childbirth. Her ability to have children was already there, God just allowed her to be able to feel pain after her sin. Remember, God told them to "Be fruitful and multiply" before he banished them from the Garden.

I believe, and will always believe, that homosexuality is a sin of choice, just like heterosexual fornication is a choice. Lying is a choice, murdering is a choice, stealing is a choice, etc. To say that homosexuality is genetic is like saying that lying is genetic or murdering is genetic. "I murdered that person because God made me that way." Doesn't make any sense, does it?

Furthermore, I do not agree with what Albert Mohler says about genetically altering babies, either, even if there is a successful method found to alter genes. An altered baby is an altered baby - period. You're messing with whom God created -- Leave him or her alone.

Later, I will provide some biblical truths to back up my points of view. Right now, I'm at work and I don't have my Bible with me. Until then, God Bless.

Democratic Pork

I just heard this morning on the radio that the $100 billion to fund the troops has increased to $124 billion. So where did this extra money come from? Well, *oink* *oink*....DEMOCRATIC PORK! All the stupid earmarks attached to the bill total an extra $24 billion! And they said the Republican spending was bad?!

Oh well, a politician is a politician is a politician...Just thought I'd vent a little bit...

Getting back on track...

Hello, everyone. Just wanted to make a little "hello" post on my blog and let those who are still reading it (if anyone) that I'm coming back and getting back on track with posting...

I've picked up a new hobby, well, I hope it will be come a new way of life. I've started learning Koine (biblical) Greek, so that I can start understanding what was originally written in the Bible. I will share a little bit of it with you as I go along.

I've also been researching my family history...I invite you to go look up my tree. Just search Eric Lee on there and you're sure to find it. :)

Well, I guess that's all for now! Later!

Democrats and MSU Football

Well, I started out blogging thinking I would be a regular contributor...It turns out that I was wrong. I was hoping that I would be able to post regularly in order to gather a regular following - seems that hasn't happened. But, here I am again, at 9:37 PM on a Wednesday night, typing away on my blog. It's not that I don't enjoy blogging--I do, but life just seems to throw everything at a person. But, I'm back again.

It's official - the Reign of the Republicans is over. Democrats have won a majority in the House, and it appears the Senate is on the verge of teeter-tottering to the Democrats also. Only Virginia - and George Allen - stand in their way. I'm sorry to have to admit it, but I think Jim Webb has won the Senate seat in Virginia...just go ahead and concede, Georgy-Porgy.

Well, I guess the question on every Republican - and especially the Conservative's - mind is: "What do we do to win them back?" Well, I have to say, Republicans, we've asked for it. I believe that basically every citizen, no matter be they Republican or Democrat, is really fiscally and socially conservative at heart. When you really get down to brass tacks, they are. Just look at all the referendums banning gay marriage that passed this time -- seven of them! The only one that didn't was Arizona, and I'm willing to bet my lunch money that the reason it didn't win there was because of all the [illegal] aliens that were "inadvertently" allowed to vote. C'mon, Republicans, you've let down your constituency.

Reason Number One: Iraq. There was supposed to be a grand "exit strategy" for Iraq. Don't get me wrong--I fully support ALL our soldiers that went and fought and died over there. However, the politicians didn't have a well-conceived plan for winning. But, let this be said now, I KNOW the Democrats do NOT have a better plan, or else they would have told us last night when Nancy "Nanny" Paleosi (as Michael Savage affectionately calls her) announced her victory as the new Speaker of the House. Okay Democrats, you've been preaching "We can do it better!" for 3-1/2 years now, so go ahead and show us your secret, wonderful plan.

Reason Number Two: Illegal Immigration. No matter how much I like President Bush, I must say I am disappointed in him and his administration regarding this topic. For six years we have been hearing that he was going to tighten up border security...Yet now, the only progress we've seen has been by the Minutemen (volunteers!) and a new hundred National Guardsmen helping the Border Patrol. And again, the politicians that voted for the fence voted against financing it! Will we ever see our representatives in Government get serious about this issue?

Finally, Reason Number Three: Mark Foley. Man, oh man...I shouldn't even get started here. This is the one that I think really hurt. What was this guy thinking?? Scratch that...Obviously, he doesn't know how to think. He basically tarnished the whole conservative base by his actions. And then went on to blame it on a priest! Go ahead, bring religion into it! Sure, there are corrupt clergymen out there, and they need to be found out and stopped. But it seems like every time we turn around, some pervert is blaming their problems on someone else! When will people take responsibility for their own actions?? Oh well, I went there..

In conclusion, I truly believe the Republican party MUST go back to their core values...Being fiscally responsible, stand on the moral high ground, and REMEMBER WHAT YOU WERE ELECTED FOR! It will get a lot worse before it gets better, folks...But for now, all we can do is let the Democrats proverbially hang themselves by their on tongues...As they let the Republicans do this time. What's the old saying? "Better to let people think you're a fool, than to open your mouth and prove them right".

Well, I guess I'll get off my soapbox now...Good night, everyone...

OH!!! Before I forget - GO MISSISSIPPI STATE BULLDOGS! They won over the Alabama Crimson Tide 24-16, and let me tell you that is a HUGE WIN! YEAH!!

G'night everyone, and God bless!
