A lovely Midwestern state, right in the dead center of the United States. Is well-known for its flat land (not a bad thing at all), the anti and pro-slavery conflicts in the 1850s, the case of Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka, the University of Kansas Jayhawks, the Wizard of Oz, the progressive-rock band of the same name, and the big cities of Wichita and Topeka.

The southernmost state in The North or Midwest. It is both a state AND a commonwealth. The Bluegrass State (nickname) is slandered and bashed by cynical, judgemental, and ignorant types such as Disabled Dan. What a compassionate, loving human being he really is.

A place that really does exist. A place where the souls of the dead Christians who have followed the teachings of the Bible and the Ten Commandments, in addition to asking the Lord's forgiveness for their sins will go. REMEMBER: It is natural for human beings to sin; even the greatest Christians will sin throughout their lives. Being exactly like Jesus is nearly impossible, and God understands this.
Anyways, Heaven is a wondrous place; a paradise where the clean, forgiven-of-their-sins Christians will go for eternity, and that means for all time, and forever and ever following the end of time. Heaven is most likely gradually created and edited to the inheriting person's design of how they want to see it. This everlasting place that has NO suffering, NO pain, NO shedding of tears is vast and unending, therefore giving each individual who inherits the Kingdom of God the ability to have his/her place in Heaven and to see it the way that he/she wants to.

All God-fearing Christians who end their extreme hatred of others, follow the instructions of the Bible and the Ten Commandments, and repent of their sins before death are allowed to pass through the gates to Heaven, just after a trial standing before God himself.

A radical person (usually liberal or a hippie) who deliberately takes extreme actions in order to "save the environment", when there are already processes underway and have been underway for many years now.
the hippie environmentalist wacko actually lived in a tree for 3 years to keep it from being chopped down.

A poor woman who has unfortunately been brain-damaged and subsequently ended up in the bed-ridden situation that she is currently in and has been in for over a decade and a half. However, this does NOT mean that she is useless! This is apparently what Michael Schiavo and the many liberals who choose to back him up see though. In addition, they also believe him when he says that Terri told him that she wanted to die.
What millions of people, especially they who follow Michael Schiavo, fail to realize is that there is no written will or recorded message confirming that this is what she ordered to have done. Think about this: if Terri Schiavo REALLY wanted to die, why would she still be alive and holding on to life like she is right now for 10 FULL DAYS? This woman is obviously fighting for her life; her Right To Live! This is all happening while Michael is fighting for her so-called "Right to Die". The proper term would actually be more like "Free me from my Disabled Wife", or even "Give me a Claim to Fame". I hope that all Christians and ANYONE who cares about this woman's right to live to pray and protest with all your heart, and never quit until she is gone, IF she goes that is. That is because we hope for a successful resolution for life in our favor, and if so, the right decision was made.

Remember: Terri Schiavo maybe brain-dead and unable to do a lot of things for herself, BUT she still serves very much of a purpose, and she is also an American. That means she is given the right to these three following qualities: the Right to LIFE, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness!!!

A gorgeous, conservative, Christian artist who sings and plays guitar, and was born during the very early 1960s in Augusta, Georgia. She began her career and ascent into the Contemporary Christian Music world in the late 1970s. By the early 80s, she was a superstar. Finally, in 1985, secular music record producers were forcing record companies to let her make a secular, mainstream album. It was a great success; Unguarded was released that year and spawned the hits "Find A Way" and "Everywhere I Go". The following year in 1986 saw the release of Amy's first compilation: Amy Grant - The Collection. It included two new secular songs and every other secular and Christian hit to date, including "My Father's Eyes", "El Shaddai", "Sing Your Praise To The Lord", "Emmanuel", "I Have Decided", "Thy Word", and "Angels".
Amy reverted back to Christian music in 1988's album Lead Me On, which produced a new hit of the same name. However, with the dawn of the 90s, Amy was once again encouraged and influenced to make more mainstream secular pop. In 1991, she released Heart In Motion, probably her most successful album ever. It produced FIVE incredible hit songs that ruled the airwaves.
Today she lives in Nashville, Tennessee with her husband, Vince Gill. With over a dozen albums and two compilations to call her own, she has been one of the greatest musicians ever in the history of the world, whether she was in or out of the Christian music scene, which she is currently back into today.

I love Amy Grant and everything about her: Her wonderful vocals, her messages in the songs, the synthesizers in much of her 80s and early 90s music, her beautiful face, her political stance, and her strong dedication to and faith in The Lord.

The largest and only true religion in the world. It currently consists of well over 2 BILLION people all over the globe, including the Middle East. Most Christians are dedicated to the teachings of Jesus Christ, and the word of God in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. Just because of several million violent, hate-filled Christians who perform the kinds of acts they do, it doesn't mean that every single Christian (and definitely not the majority) are like the negative, ignorant, and destructive kinds of people that you stereotype them as. It is wrong to stereotype an entire worldwide religion and its people because of the actions of a few. And for those of you calling us hate-filled, homophobic, and violent; just keep in mind what the Muslims are doing over in the Middle East. Unlike them, we do not abuse and oppress our women (except for a very few terrible men). We believe in the sanctity of life, and we don't go out murdering and exterminating those of another religion or those who have no religion. In addition, we do not impede on the progress of scientific study as also falsely-claimed by many millions. Have you never heard of Gregor Mendel, the Catholic clergyman who discovered genetics in experiments with pea plants? That man is probably the finest example of how Christians actually promote the advancements in science, especially since many of those advancements lead to the saving of lives.
For those of you calling we Christians close-minded, redneck, hick, fascist, nazi, Republican (not that that's derogatory, by the way), gay-basher, warmonger, hypocrite, retard, Bible banger and many other, far more profane names and labels, perhaps you're not that open-minded yourselves. So, who's the REAL hypocrite?
