Realistically -- what's got to happen with gay marriage?

California is the biggest example of gay people married and other gay people not able to get married -- in the same state. Some people are heartbroken and others are having a huge sigh of relief over the recent ruling in that state. Realistically -- what's got to happen?

The Catholic shift

Sotomayor would be sixth of nine Catholics on the Supreme Court.

Did Obama help the abortion debate?

Can the two sides agree to disagree and work together on bridging one of the greatest moral divides by helping prevent unwanted pregnancies? Or is that possible?

Any different if the attack was coming from Christians conservatives?

I thought the saga involving Miss California would just go away. But it won't. Miss California gave her views on gay marriage, and yesterday, the California association, with Shanna Moakler reading a statement, said Carrie Prejean should have given her answer based on the people of the state. I just wonder if it would have been just as OK if her answer had been different and the conservative community had come after her. Would we be so gleeful at her downward spiral with the photos, etc.? Would we be OK with the tone of the attacks?

What's wrong with Obama's low-key prayer?

It's causing controversy.

'Irrefutable' evidence

Group says it will share the identify of the Antichrist -- for a fee.

And obviously, this is not an endorsement.

US government burns Bibles?

The ones meant for proselytizing."The U.S. military forbids its members on active duty -- including those based in places like Afghanistan -- from trying to convert people to another religion."

Whether torture can be justified

People of faith are all over the place when it comes to this question. What's certain, is that a good deal of people do not think it is always wrong.
