Emma Frost posted a blog postWas a Catholic
I was raised as a Catholic and I will explain what it meant to me. The brainwashing begins at a very young age. It all starts with the Christening reserved for infants or babtism for others, usually at a later age. I would tell you about my Christening, but it's something I can't remember. It was sort of like an induction into the church.A few years later they send you to Sunday school (which was actually on a Saturday) or catechism. Around the age of 5 or 6 we went to this class and they…See More

Emma Frost replied to kOrsan's discussion 'Marriage'"You virgin hermit! j/k
I didn't mean any slight by my response to you. What I meant by older and wiser was in reference to the minds of women and that there are some out there that still have that fairytale wedding in mind (and you have no idea…"
Emma Frost commented on Real Life James Bond's blog post 'God's Will and Human Freedom'"It seems like a coping mechanism of sorts; a way to detach themselves from the pain and/or disasters in their lives. There is also the "It's in God's hands now" comment people make all the time. That always gets an automatic…"

Emma Frost replied to kOrsan's discussion 'Marriage'"In a perfect world, sure. Why not? But it's never going to happen. Some things just can't be undone, ya know? There are so many things wrong with this country. Making marriage obsolete is not even on the list. We can't even ban…"

They just made these guys out like town heroes and how their lives were gonna be a mess. WTF about the girl, you know, the victim? People are signing petitions to get CNN to apologize for…"
Emma Frost replied to kOrsan's discussion 'Marriage'"He said, "Nobody should get married." Which wipes out the option of marriage altogether. Did he mean, nobody should have to get married in order to get benefits? Then that would be completely different. And if that were the case,…"
Emma Frost replied to kOrsan's discussion 'Marriage'"That's a good question. I was getting a lot of pressure from the family though. That was what got things rolling in our heads. My husband's grandmother was going to pass away soon, so we thought it would be something special for her. If…"
Emma Frost replied to Physeter's discussion 'Seeking'"I've been battling with my faith for years. I was exposed to several belief systems/religions to really accept any of them. I felt as though I was in limbo for the better part of my younger years. I am slowly getting back to me and actually…"
Emma Frost replied to kOrsan's discussion 'Marriage'"kOrsan, you had a lot to say. It's apparent you don't see the need for marriage, which is okay. There are many people that don't believe in marriage either. But let me warn you, when you're a bit older and wiser you might…"
