I do suggest the Bible to be taken in whole, with a literal message with literal references. Everything I write here, for my convenience, will assume this perspective to be the truth. So, in keeping with that perspective, the Bible says we have a sinful nature. It's not the nature God created in...

I agree. And, perhaps you think I'm one of those German liberals when I say that God loves everyone, but He showed love to the adulterous Samaritan woman, the prostitute people (for whatever reason) think is Mary Magdalene, the rich young man who wouldn't sell everything, and the very people who...

Hewwo evweybuddy. I was browsing the 'What're youse reading' thread, and it made me want to ask, what have youse read, watched, and/or played in the past that really moved you, and helped shape your character? In my instance, I'd put in the Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb. The misadventures of...

I'm reading a lot lately. The Count of Monte Cristo, just starting. The Legendary Tales and Historical Truths of the Most Notorious Warriors by Daniel Mersey (interesting enough for history buffs. I'm old.) Exodus and Acts. On deck: possibly Dracula by Bram Stoker, or A Song of Wind and Fire...

From what seems a moderate source: Here's the source: http://www.thelaboroflove.com/articles/can-abortion-affect-my-fertility-in-the-future/ I saw a headline yesterday or the day before that suggested new findings in this argument. The headline suggested it does affect fertility...

When the baby isn't expected to survive birth, I would consider it not as abortion, but as euthanasia. Ironically, I consider this to be the same debate, but I'll hold back because others might not agree. I guess I agree pretty heavily with you. If abortion's going to be around, there ought to...

I hardly ever step into a conversation without first figuring out what's being discussed. Them's manner's. Because society and laws aren't built to accommodate special classes. You might see me as a sexist because I think abortion is wrong. I might see you as elitist for trying to shut me out...

Ya see? this is what's wrong with kids these days... they come onto a post several pages in, and fail to read the early parts. Uninformed whelp :) Dude, I've been a fair ray of sunshine to this thread since before your mama had her choice. Hon, 21 weeks=just about five months. Okay, here's a...

This is a story that addresses your theory: http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2007/feb/21/health.lifeandhealth Against all odds Amillia Taylor shouldn't be alive. She was born at less than 22 weeks - in the US, where babies aren't considered 'viable' until 23 weeks. But her desperate mother...

Well, then, let's all set aside our petty laws and such to go by your definitions and standards. This is not a good way to debate, putting yourself above the whole. I'm not asking you to put aside your individualism or opinions, but you just derailed this thread for two pages by placing your...

No Jill, I did not address your post because I found nothing worth replying to. Mostly it seemed more an attempt to bash me and other Christians here, along with our beliefs. Frankly, I agree that the Roman Catholic Church is outdated; however the Bible is alive and well, and I have only seen...

Learn Spanish. Then you can curse away when she frustrates you. She'll obviously ask what you just said, but then you can rattle off some poem you memorized beforehand. Or get her into World of Warcraft or something. Then you can anonymously beat her avatar up after visiting her to let off some...

My family has a picnic for my surviving grandpa, and I went to my dad's church's car show with him. My wife got together with her dad while I was at work, and her family annually gathers for breakfast in honor of her two-year dead granpa. My wife and I roll our eyes at that last one. You might...

I totally skipped the last post once it was clear that it only existed to be disrespectful. Anyway: No. The answer is no. God did not send His Son to die for you because He hates you. He did it because He loves you. He did not tell the Church to love everyone because He hates you. He did it...

Yeah, I understand being thankful and whatnot. However, I bought my wife concert tickets for mum's day. I bought her a keyboard for her birthday. I get a t-shirt and screamed at. Also, I don't really appreciate the gift because I'm trying to get rid of my overly-full closet of crappy t-shirts...

Ahhh... I have found the reclusive Internet Warrior! Hehheh. hmhmm. Hee. Ha. Woah. Did the ground just tremble? Settle down big feller. Anyway, I don't beat my kids every time they do something wrong. Neither do I send them to timeout every time they do something wrong. Sometimes I do both...

So, I just got done with Father's Day, and I gotta say, I'm pretty happy it's done. I was awakened this morning by my kids coming into my bedroom to present me with a present. Now this is the highlight of my day: not the present itself (keep reading), but these munchkins so excited to give it to...

YES! Please, bring back the useful, visible, free-roaming airship! But at least chocobos were useful in XII, unlike some of the titles. Which game had the horribly slow-moving airship? Can't remember... Geez, I preferred walking to that hunk-o-junk. I also found that the games were more upbeat...

I will digress except to say that I think abortion should AT LEAST not be readily available like a pizza parlor. Anything that follows is not a concession that abortion is okay, but merely an acknowledgement that it is legal right now, and that some safeguards ought to be in place. I'm not...

Not as simple as you make it either. Mom's not a baby factory and not disposable at all. However, from my understanding, abortion is also painful and has been known to have complications and side effects that include death. Same argument coming from both sides=moot point. That being said, some...
