About Me

Myspace Graphics
Myspace LayoutsO.K. so we're a group of people who like to ask questions. Yes, some of us are Christians (but we're not all Republicans ;-) but we are sick of the "pat"-answers-no-brainers that float around passing out booklets door-to-door.If you are looking for conversation.

We're here to hang-out and enjoy a lively chat!

What is hate?
