I was sitting in a bar having some liquid libations with friends last Wednesday, when my phone started vibrating and indicating I had a text message.

More about Jesus and gay marriage
By WARREN THROCKMORTON

Since Jesus never mentioned homosexuals, how could He have been against gay marriage?

Death and divas
By RONDA RICH

One of my favorite divas called me up to tell me of a death in her in-laws. This was before it hit the obituary column of the newspaper or made the local radio announcements, broadcast daily on the morning and noon news, just before Paul Harvey.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Other religions: ‘Get over it, Christians’

It is interesting that in your opinion piece, “Christians and gay marriage: What to do?” you seem to think that marriage begins and ends with the religious definition in the Christian faith.

Much faulty logic in gay marriage debate

Mr. Martin Burkel asserts that since gay couples are already living together and “conceiving” children as if married, then we ought to recognize gay marriage. Similar attempts at logic are used to condone condom distribution in schools (since teens are already having sex, we might as well make it safe) and legalize drugs such as marijuana and heroin.

Fludd, others sell out for politics

I want to take a moment and thank all of the state representatives who chose to do the right thing by allowing the people of Georgia to decide on the issue of gay marriages in Georgia. The Georgia House approved the measure by a vote of 122 - 52.

CAP provides responsible leadership

Many thanks for the article featuring our local Civil Air Patrol squadron and its new cadet commander, Ryan Fausett. Once again, The Citizen lives up to its name, as it continues to recognize those groups and individuals who stand for conservative values and civic responsibility.

Bush has misled nation into war

The ancients believed in omens: A wolf howling at the moment of a baby’s birth, a sudden change in the weather, the appearance of a raven, a comet or supernova lighting up the night sky. Many natural phenomena could portend either good or bad in the near future.

Time for a truth-check on anti-Bush propaganda

It’s been over three months now that America has been in full election mode and more recently since John Kerry emerged as the Democratic candidate for President. In this time, I have heard and seen hours of news coverage, articles, and editorials pontificating on all of the hindsight viewpoints of what everyone else, especially the Liberal Left, would have done differently than George Bush did since January 2001 when he took office.

Design without a creator? Yes, it’s possible

I had a flashback to ninth grade as I read Jeremy Conley’s article of Wednesday, March 24, 2004 entitled: “If you want real science, consider some of evolution’s many contradictions.”

Student wants good teacher as her ‘right'

As a Fayette County High School student, I am instructed that my only right as a student while at school is to learn and be educated.
