Is today’s breaking news about the permissibility of kissing while dating being communicated to the masses via some fundamentalist Sharia-espousing mullah? Is it being handed down by Moses from on high, possibly inscribed on some stone tablets or papyrus? No, it’s from the
Poll: Kissing Acceptable While Dating, Christian Site Says fundamentalist Christian folks at ChristiaNet.com. The results from a poll at ChristiaNet.com have just revealed that kissing is acceptable while dating. ChristiaNet.com claims to be the “world’s largest Christian portal” with a purported twelve million monthly page loads. And the question that was recently burning the web page over at the Christian portal was “Is kissing while dating permissible?” 134 out of 271 respondents answered “Yes”, that kissing is acceptable while dating. 71 voted “No”. 66 were “Unsure”.This is a big question out in the Christian singles world, apparently, with Christianity Today trying to shed some light with its Five Commandments of Dating, excerpted from Jason Illian’s Undressed: The Naked Truth About Love, Sex, and Dating:1. Thou shalt not group date.2. Thou shalt commit to the fight.3. Thou shalt expect nothing.4. Thou shalt be patient.5. Thou shalt always follow the King.And apparently now, at least according to 134 respondents to the ChristiaNet.com poll: Thou shalt kiss!Most of the respondents to the ChristiaNet.com poll on kissing while dating seemed to agree on a few things: Christian dating should be within the rules and guidelines of God’s word about behavior. A couple considering kissing should discuss some guidelines in the early stages of their relationship and draw some lines and boundaries. Self-control was emphasized, with one respondent commenting that “One of the fruits of the Holy Spirit is self-control”. All seemed to agree that their bodies don’t belong to them, but to God. And according to these folks, it’s God’s temple.

CSOAlltell Axcess Broadband helps me stay connected wherever I am, and frankly, I find this anytime link to the Internet to be a necessity of life and a lifesaver because of the balance it helps me strike between work and family.With Alltel Axcess Broadband, I insert a simple PC Data card into my laptop to access the Internet from all different types of places. At the kids’ soccer practice and riding lessons, I can check my email from the sidelines using Alltel Axcess Broadband. I might
do a quick post on my blog while riding in the passenger seat of our SUV to a family get together. I can listen to Internet radio from all over the world while driving around town or cross-country. In the radio options department, listening to Internet radio with Alltel Axcess Broadband is infinitely better than XM radio. I quickly began to realize that Alltel Axcess Broadband is going to pay for itself when I sent a PayPal invoice to a blog advertising client while waiting for the pizza to be finished at Dominoes. Alltel Axcess Broadband has given me a lot of freedom. I had promised to take my children ice-skating recently, but needed to finish up a project at the office. For the first half hour of the skating session, while the kids skated, I sat in the bleachers and connected to my office network. While my son zoomed around the rink on his hockey skates at lightning speed, at least fast enough to give this mom pause, I was hooking up with my office via a secure connection at speeds up to 2.4 Mbps via Broadband network. Is that cool or what? Once my project was wrapped up, I was able to spend an hour of the hour and a half skating session ice skating with my kiddos as promised, thanks to Alltel Axcess Broadband. Alltel Axcess Broadband also makes use of Alltel’s extensive national coverage. I live in the absolute boondocks on a ranch in Northern New Mexico, and have been able to sit on my front porch in the evenings, looking out over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, laptop in hand, connected to the whole wide world via this fabulous wireless internet service. That’s a very satisfying experience to this admitted Internet hound.
