  • who's the interviewer, anyone?

  • Is this guy still alive? He be huffin and puffin on them cigarettes.

  • lol

  • @lifeinyouisgod Way to avoid the question about "GOD" raping and molesting small children.

  • @willrdixon "Thou shalt not (cannot) commit adultery". You CANNOT adulterate (alter) the relationship between male and female no matter what you may do with whomever or even alone or not at all (celibacy). All of the things that people do or do not do in the way of romance therefore, are in reality just variations on the theme of male attracted to female amen? In Jesus there is no duality no gay/straight/lesbian amen?

  • @lifeinyouisgod I'm not a homosexual,but they are human beings just like the rest of us and should be treated with respect. You on the other hand are a fool brainwashed by a bible. If God, whom I don't believe in, does not approve of rape, why do so many priests rape and molest little boys?

    Ignorance is most definitely not bliss.
