bella, you have a very cool disposition and i was mostly addressing one specific person and anybody like them. thanks for making it clear that you’re okay with people respectfully disagreeing. i also love what you have to say about some people using their religion as a license to discriminate. i also believe the main objective of religion should be to bring people together as opposed to being used as a tool to divide and polarize.

I also have mad respect for religious people, and I’ve written about quite a few proudly religious women — see my Chrisette Michele post, and my Isaac Blackman post if you care to — but I get really mad when people use religion (which I believe ideally should be about peace and improving the world and loving thy neighbor) as a shield for blatant homophobia and the judgment of others. And that was what I was trying to say.

take care, and thanks for sharing your opinion.

Wow- now that’s a statement. This article was a good one and makes an important statement about being loud and proud about who and what you are. But, I guess that only applies to size, race and sexual orientation, but not religious beliefs. I guess it’s only OK to stand your ground as long as it’s not for “religious reasons.”

I think that this comment was in poor taste.

Frenchie is one of those bold, polarizing kind of women. You either love her or you hate her. I’d always heard that her photos were tasteful and it wasn’t porn, just topless and partially nude photos. Alwayzalady, I never heard that rumor about porn flicks! I guess rumors can get crazy when you put yourself out there like that.
