I don't think the admission to heaven works the way classical Christian theology has it. But there are times, this being one of them, when I really wish it did. Cause then people like this director would be in for a surprise of their lives (or deaths?-- ha! I slay me!) upon having their G-d ask them whether they really thought G-d would approve, whether they really did THAT for their G-d. Yup, I am vindictive enough to want to see that.

This is such a perfect example of straining the gnat and swallowing the camel.<BR/><BR/>Yes, as someone said above, these people are changing a policy that was made to be sure ALL children are included to one where it's POSSIBLE to exclude Caden?<BR/><BR/>This is just so wrong.

I don't want to understand. And the fact that the school would change its policy because of parents' lifestyle choices?? holy cats. I don't even know what to say, I'm so outraged.<BR/><BR/>If the Catholic pre-school I send my daughter to had a policy that it changed for a reason like this, I'd yank her out of there.
