That the Bible is a complete and total fraud? And that the Church that He founded is composed of leaders who are among the worst liars and most vile people in human history who sought to cover up God's marriage?

Those are just some of the problems that tens of thousands of small business owners are facing in the aftermath of the storms.

	Good Fellows May 17, 2006 at 1:46 pm In the deserts of Iraq, American soldiers bare the face of true bravery.

They are the faces sitting next to you at the little league game. They are the faces that at first glance appear to blend in with the rest of the world. Although sometimes unknown, they are the true American heroes.
