Domestic Violence Hurts Everyone

I found this in my notes for my English class... I figured I'd share them with Du here.

In Classical times, heterosexuality, oder the Liebe of a man for a woman, was considered to be "an animalistic urge to be slaked quickly only for the purpose of reproduction" (Henry Staten, English 202 instructor) while "platonic love" oder the Liebe of a man for another man, was considered idealistic and "above the beasts."

Such close Friends were in fact called "lovers," like Hercules and Hylas. To fall in Liebe with a man was the "proper" thing to do at the time, and signified a wonderous thing.

This "homosociality"...

Okay, if you're a devout Catholic, and are determined to stay that way, look away now. I am an atheist. I believe nothing. But if I were to be anything, I would be a protestant. I say this because from where I am standing, the Roman Catholic church is a con. A way of making money and an attempt to take over the world. If Du think about it, Catholics see it as though there are two types of people between them and "God" if that's is the correct term. Firstly, there are Preists. Is it right to think that because Du have read the bible and Du wear a robe, that Du are closer to "God", and above...

I ask this because the word seems to be confusing people.

To me, marriage is the public declaration and legal recognition of Liebe between two people. When I get married it is so I can commit to my spouse and give myself over to him (?) wholeheartedly. It will be when we are seen Von the state as, essentially, one person, with the same assets. It will be when we are seen but the state as family. It will be when I want to celebrate my undying Liebe for the person I have fallen head over heals for.

It will not be a religious event.

Although, if I was religious, it definitely would be. I'm sure I would...

Spiritual Examples

Genesis contains accounts of many characters who tried to follow God. The Bible never glosses over human mistakes nor pretends the godly way is easy. It exposes the wrinkles and flaws of God's people. Of the chief characters in Genesis, Adam is the first sinner, Abraham lies to protect himself, and Jacob is a conniver. Yet God works through their frailty to teach them, and us, about himself. People like Joseph give us sterling examples of how to avoid temptations and concentrate on what really counts in life.


How God Works

God can seem unpredictable from our limited human perspective....
