Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ice Taijutsu sounds cool to me, maybe with some supplementary Genjutsu. If you could catch someone in a genjutsu long enought o fool their mind that it's warm, when in fact they are in the middle of a Hyouton created cold zone/blizzard, you'd gain a natural advantage against them in Taijutsu, since the colder they are the harder it will be for them to fight.

Wow... Alright, being a christian myself, and despite the wiccan bit at the end, which I'm still not sure how to feel about when people talk about it, I feel the need to apologize. The bible does state that God hates homosexuality, but christians take it too far, because it also states that He loves the sinner. Christians are meant to befriend them, and hopefully turn them from their sin, whatever it may be. Accusing someone of being demon possessed, or persecuting them, or in the most extreme of cases, the Salem Witch Trials, is NOT the christian way to deal with things.

My dad's a minister too. But he's hooked up with what people would probably call the worst sinner in our town, to the point where the guy was coming over to our house nearly every day for several months. And considering our house is in a church, that's something. If he was following the principle that sinners must be corrected by brutal forcing of doctrine that some christians follow, I don't expect we'd ever have seen him again. Instead, we got free snow plowing for the church along with use of the guy's bucket loader whenever we needed it. Sure, he hasn't come to church yet, but there's space to work there.

Reason for that story? That is what I believe the proper christian outlook is meant to be.

I would say that technically, it's our job simply to show the love of Christ to people through our actions and words. Whether or not that turns people from their sin, well, that's a matter of the heart, and we have no hand in that.

...we are definitely called to Love rather then hate though, which is unfortunately where many Christians slip up. In the bible, Jesus came for the sinners, not for the righteous... so I'm not sure WHY they think that way, but they do. I guess it's because we're all selfish at heart.

Either way though, clearly Auggie is not being treated the way he should be by those around him... and especially not the 'christians' around him.

Oh, I didn't know. Well alrighty then

Also, just so you know, I'm a total homophobe, in the proper sense of the word. If a large gay man suddenly leaned on my shoulder and tried hitting on me, or worse, making out, I'd probably scream and run away. Or beat him to a pulp. Luckily, I am ugly enough to where they hopefully wouldn't try.

But I love Auggie, cause he's fun. Same with most gays I've met online. I don't really care for the gayness, but I like the person.

Oh, dont worry about that. We have more money than we know what to do with.

I believe its over.
