Polygamy and the Greens

When the same sex marriage debate filled the press and the airwaves, Christians argued that if the state attempted to change the definition of marriage to from a union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others, it would not be long till some one would advance an argument for polygamy. Of course that was scoffed at as scaremongering! "That will never happen!"

Well a mainstream political party will debate the question in a plenary session of their convention. In Canada! I'm not making this up!

TORONTO - The Green Party of Canada will consider a motion Sunday on whether or not they will push to decriminalize polygamy.

Party members in a workshop on Saturday evening voted to send the motion to the full-Party plenary, where they'll debate and vote on it.

Excuses

I found this deep in an old archive file on my hard drive! I thought it might be time to revisit this!

Have you grown tired of hearing all the time-worn excuses people give for not going to church? Two pastors
put together this list of reasons for not attending the movies:

WHY I DO NOT ATTEND MOVIES

1. The manager of the theater never called on me.

2. I did go a few times, but no one spoke to me.

3. Every time I go they ask me for money -- they mention it even before I get in.

4. Many of the folks who attend do not live up to the moral standards of the films.

5. I went so much as a child I've had all the entertainment I need.

6. The performance lasts too long -- I can't sit still for a couple of hours or longer.

7. I don't always agree with what I see and hear.

8. I don't think that they have very good music.

9. The thermostat is always too high or too low, and the lighting is terrible.

10. The shows are usually in the evenings, and that's the only time I am able to be at home with my family.
