I agree with you about Susan Smith but Andrea Yates has severe depression. She had been in mental hospital various times and on several medicines that were not working as they should. She was a sick woman who doesn't deserve to be in prison but in a mental home where she can get some help.

Both my husband and I have many gay friends and several that I would do anything for, all they have to do is ask. He wasn't raised in a church; I was raised Roman Catholic. A fight we have a lot is about what Christian people believe...that they hate gays, that they all believe the Bible word for word, that they all believe that Harry Potter is evil. As you know, and as I've told my husband over and over...not all believe that. The problem is, it's the *loudest* ones who do and they make everyone look silly.

I have been doing a project for one of my college classes, Gender in Cross-Cultural Perspective. In this project, I have had to look at issues such as gay marriage, abortion, etc. I have to find a pro site and an anti site for each. I've ran across many 'Christian' sites who scream their hate messages loudly. Many of my friends would say they are Christian if you asked but NONE of they would agreed with what these sites say. It's just that they are so many and so loud! And the internet, of course, is where most of us learn, today, about things we don't understand.

I did run across one site that I loved, though. It was made by a Christian minister and he said this about those sites....REAL Christians are out helping the poor, feeding the hungry and not making silly webpages!
