Some people will balk at what I'm trying to say. The various sex offenders lists (by state) in the US list people who have committed statutory rape as well as real rape. The problem I have with people being branded this way is that the age of consensual sex isn't universal — not by a long shot.
I'm removing two of the old posts from my main blog, Untwisted Vortex, and rewriting the information, in order to present my thoughts in a more coherent manner. You see, racism still exists in America when it should be all but wiped out.
I'm not going to get all preachy here. I'm not a big believer in everything the "good book" has to offer, even though there are some stories worth reading. They teach us valuable lessons about life that we don't fully appreciate until we experience them for ourselves. This Christmas time, I've personally witnessed the value of at least one of the stories and I'm about to share that with you.
I was called by the Holy One himself on January 8, 2001. I declined to be minister for one simple reason: If I can't understand His book in its entirety, then how can I possibly explain anything from it to anyone else. You may ask me how I know it was Him that called me. To the average person, I'd probably respond with something like "You can ask." Since you're taking the time to read this, I'll explain everything to the best of my ability.
