I didn't intend to post so much tonight, the news just makes me more and more angry. If you wish to see true sinfulness, try reading this article. UK scientists want human-animal tests to be monitored better. Let me explain. Human DNA is being spliced with animal DNA to create a new type of being; but, just for the purpose of experimentation. They kill it after it has gestated for two weeks. Why would we do that to something that was part human?
Frankenstein was nothing compared to these sick and twisted people who claim to be scientists and I don't care what discoveries they make, not even a little. I don't even believe in all the animal testing we do and I am anti-Peta. I am a pacifist and therefore cannot condone non-consensual human experimentation. I am also against the death penalty and abortion, just to be clear.
Scientists are now truly playing God and they will fail; but, what damage will they do in the meantime. I will go back to the bible for a moment. In Genesis it mentions that the "Sons of God" interbred with humans, specifically females. This is generally believed to refer to fallen angels, it is not considered a good thing. Now scientists want to create animal human hybrids. That is playing God, or more accurately playing demons.

Pastors Declare Homosexuality Not a Sin
I really don't want to talk about homosexuality again. Some of my readers are gay and friends. I have previously said that I don't care if the government allows gay marriage because I don't. Government marriage is an enforceable contract and people should be allowed to enter into any contracts that do not break laws and I don't believe that homosexuality should be illegal, that is madness and overreaching by the government, they should stay out of our bedrooms.
Apparently a group of more than 100 pastors in Omaha, Nebraska have issued a proclamation that homosexuality is not a sin, does that mean that lust isn't a sin anymore too? Whew, because I lust all the time and thought it was. These people do not deserve to teach the bible because apparently they never bothered to read it. I would not call homosexuality evil; but, I would call it a sin (if you haven't figured out that I am a Christian by now, you haven't been paying attention, yes, I believe in the bible, I just interpret it with an open mind). We are all sinners, that is what it says. It also says that there is only one sin that is not pardonable and it isn't believed to be homosexuality or lust.
I don't have a problem with sinners, I don't have a problem with gays, I do have a problem with Pastors not following the word. Perhaps they will now say that adultery is not a sin, my ex would like that. What about gluttony, is that still a sin? I don't believe there is a rating for sins, I never read it in the bible; but, if there was then I would think that adultery was worse than homosexuality because promises are broken and we have legalized adultery (no-fault divorce).
My issue is with the church and with the pastors. Heck, maybe we can get all the pedophile priests together to issue a proclamation that sleeping with little boys is not a sin anymore, I bet they would do it. And I am not comparing what those priests did to being gay, there is a big difference between consenting adults and people who use their position to take advantage of minors. It was lesbians that kept pedophiles from being accepted in the gay community, I have written about this in the past (I should have tagged my articles but I am not going back and doing it now).
Church is for sinners and I want all sinners to feel they can come and hear the word. Jesus reached out to those who were not accepted and saved the life of an adulterer. He didn't tell her that she did not sin, instead, he asked who was sin free. We still haven't found anyone who was. I am disgusted that pastors would make such a proclamation rather than say why we must be accepting and loving to all including those who commit all types of sins.
Not all homosexuals are promiscuous, lets start with that; but, many are (same for heterosexuals), is promiscuity still a sin? I bet the pastors that signed this document would say it isn't. I would love to know by what logic these pastors feel they are entitled to determine what is a sin. I just don't know what to say. I love sinners and don't know anyone who isn't, I guess only gays are non-sinners according to these people.

Hello RainbowEarthMama,
I noticed that I had a new person following me on blogger. Welcome. Please feel free to comment on anything I posted. I don't know how you got here or what I wrote that led to your being here and I don't need to, it is a public post and no invitation is needed, just glad to see that my words are read. By the way, love your moniker. Peace.

Pastor Carol Daniels, Remembering Her
I am very humbled today. Periodically I check the statistics on my posts. Since beginning this blog my most read post was on Carl Jung, Jim Carrey and DMT. That is no longer the case, my most read post is now the one on Pastor Carol Daniels. I don't quite know what to think about that.
This blog is a pretty small space on the internet. I am stunned that people found it through searches. The post on the dear pastor was just me writing about something that had effected me. I had caught an article somewhere and the story really resonated with me. I was impressed by the fact that she was so committed to God and making sure that people could find his word in this little town.
When I read the little information out there I thought there were some things that didn't add up and so I contacted the Oklahoma Bureau of Investigation with my thoughts. I don't have a large audience; but, I thought I would post my thoughts on this blog and maybe my readers would have some thoughts on the matter also. I never expected to be one of the top search results regarding the case and it was not planned.
I had planned to destroy this blog in the near future, I wanted to delete it when it had served it's purpose in my life. As long as people come and read the post I wrote about her, I will not delete it. I am so glad that people are still thinking about her and looking for any information they can get, I wish I had more to offer.
I wonder if any of her family members have read my post and if they have I do hope they know that I have nothing but respect for the lady and kind thoughts for her family. Words can be funny things and my writing is very fluid and in the moment, this blog is not thought out in advance very often. I would feel very bad if I thought anyone thought my words regarding her were callous or if I thought anyone was hurt by my asking questions about what happened.
Most of my posts are about things that somehow effect me or interest me, the post on the good Pastor was out of frustration. When I checked the stats for the blog today I went and searched for newer information regarding her and am still frustrated that nothing seems to have happened in the case after all this time. It is good to know that people haven't given up and I pray that someday the killer is caught and this crime is solved.
