Should LGBTQ individuals be allowed in church?
Most Christian denominations are quite open on their anti-homosexual positions. They aren’t required to be open-minded, though I personally think failure to be open-minded in this and similar areas is counter-productive - were I the head of a Church, I would try to be as inclusive as possible, in orRead more
Most Christian denominations are quite open on their anti-homosexual positions. They aren’t required to be open-minded, though I personally think failure to be open-minded in this and similar areas is counter-productive – were I the head of a Church, I would try to be as inclusive as possible, in order to maximize the potential size of my congregation. There’s no reasonable expectation for a gay couple to fundamentally change the mind of an organization that has systematically been anti-gay. I have no interest in belonging to a religion myself, but I find it odd that there hasn’t been a new religion, based on Christianity, but friendly to groups like homosexuals, the transgender community, or other groups that are typically marginalized and excluded by the mainstream church. I understand that the Episcopalians are pretty tolerant, but maybe not everyone’s cup of tea. If something like Scientology can be recognized as a religion, surely a gay-friendly offshoot of the Catholic Church could be made to exist?

Garlic is chock full of antioxidants. Because of this, it is a wonderful boost to your immune system, especially if you find yourself getting sick often. Some of the first documented evidence on the medicinal properties of garlic was the powerful ability it had to help people avoid and treat the common cold. Researchers found that those who took a garlic supplement daily were less likely to get a cold. When they did get sick, the illness was usually shorter and less severe than it was for those who were not taking a supplement. When you find yourself getting sick, try dicing 1-2 garlic cloves and putting them in a tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil before swallowing them. The olive oil helps absorb some of the strong flavor, as well as makes it easier to swallow.
