Some bakers have refused to provide service for homosexual weddings, incurring lawsuits, media invective, and the world’s ire. Other Christians see no problem with providing service to gay weddings. There’s no way to make a blanket statement on this issue that would apply to all believers in all situations."

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: Snakes don't talk.

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: Snakes don't talk.: "Do animals have a language? Do they communicate (talk) to each other? My dog shows me that he understands English when he obeys me, when I speak English. He also tells me (in his own language) when he wants something to eat or drink.  Every night, at around 6:00 PM, he goes into the back yard and speaks with another dog  a couple of doors down (in the language of dogese).  The dog he speaks to him always answers.  Do elephants or dolphins have a language in which they speak to each other? How about whales? Of course they do.  Parrots manage to talk without vocal cords."
