I'm very (very) pro-sex.

She hates cycling of any stripe. Mainly because of hills.

Thank you - I do believe that there are a lot of people who identify themselves as "Christian" without understanding that Christ was progressive.

I guess my progressive Anglican churchmanship means I see more socially conscious Christians than I do conservatives.
