    5. The right to bear arms was never designed to protect the rights of hunters. It was designed to protect citizens from a controlling government. Also, one of the first freedoms taken from citizens by any controlling government is the right to bear harms.
  49. Our views on homosexuality and abortion.
    1. Homosexuality is a sin, and people can choose not to pursue it. We know this because people CHOOSE not to participate everyday in this and all other sins. That does not mean that God does not forgive homosexuals and that they are unredeemable. Sin is sin, and God is God. Hate the sin, love the sinner. Christ's blood covers ALL sin, and forgives all sinners.
    2. Abortion is a plague on our nation. Life begins at conception. We also know that like homosexuality God can and does forgive those that sin in this way.
    3. People that hate homosexuals, people that have abortions, and abortion providers are sinning just as much as the people they hate. GOD DOES NOT CALL HIS PEOPLE TO KILL SINNER'S IN HIS NAME! HE is the just and fair judge, and how He punish's sin is up to Him, not you or us.
  50. Pigs can fly if they are shot out of a big enough cannon.
  51. The American public education needs healing, and that healing has to begin on the inside.

  91. If you want to make money do not get into teaching, fire fighting or police work as you know the pay is low. Society can never pay you for the value of what you do in those careers, so do not expect anything different. Get into those careers because you want to serve the community. The rewards you get in them are not monetary.
  92. The fastest or best at anything is the guy telling you how good he was before the accident or incident.
  93. Women judge a man by how he treats is mother as he will treat you the same, men judge a woman by how she views her father because she will view you the same way
  94. Church's are full of sinners
  95. Church's without problems, struggles, issues and conflicts are dead and ineffective
  96. If the founding father's were alive today the AARP would say that they needed to retire and be supported by dollars taken from the worker's that have little to no control over how their taxes are spent. Sounds familiar.
