"It's not okay because it's a license to do things in the sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be. They're supposed to be within marriage, they are supposed to be for purposes that are, yes, conjugal, but also [inaudible], but also procreative. That's the perfect way that a sexual union should happen."... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coreece 190 #3 February 17, 2012 Ya, you referenced this in the other thread...why a new one? Scripture is not specific on the issue, but it is specific on not violating ones conscience. If Santorum thinks it's wrong to use contraceptives, then it's wrong for him...not everybody else.Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

shah269 0 #4 February 17, 2012 I'm very amazed he has made it this far. What he did with respect to over stepping his powers when it came to that poor brain dead women in Florida was a sin and I'm amazed people are actually giving him the time of day. I thought Republicans were all about keeping the federal government out of the lives of regular folks and Democrats were all about telling us what to do from birth to death? I don't know, though I am a Democrat I am not very happy with Obamas leadership abilities. That said the Republican Reality TV show is just sad. I half expected and hoped that someone like McCain would stand up again and this time pick a coherent partner? Not Caribu Barbie?Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

We could quote bible verses all day, the bible has zero consistency and therefore is used as a tool for whoever is weak enough that they can't come up with a decent argument of their own.

Kill the inocent kids but save the mass murderer. A large number of death penalty opponents are more concerned with saving the innocent. i can't fathom a guess as to what percentage are working along the killing is bad lines. Meanwhile, some of us support killing cells and killers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kill the inocent kids but save the mass murderer. Death penalty, suicide, abortion, murder, caualties of war, etc. Apparent contradictions in approach are just that - apparent. To know if the person's beliefs are consistent requires knowing the principles behind them. If they have non-cntradicting principles that support each belief (for instance OK with abortion, against capital punishment), then there is nothing inconsistent going on. If on the other hand they claim something like the sanctity of life for being against abortion, but are OK with capital punishment - then they are cherry picking - or lieing about their principles." . . . the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience." -- Aldous Huxley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to respond to this point earlier, but got sidetracked, and now I'm glad because you stated it nicely. I also feel the terminology used in the debate is rediculous, but is used for obvious reasons to villanize the other side. I suppose that is a hazard when discussing emotionally charged subjects. I don't think anyone is "pro-abortion" any more than I believe proponents of capital punishment want innocent people being executed. But then we begin getting into the realm of the underlying principles as pirana's post mentions. Zach Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand alot of people don't like abortion or the death penalty or like abortion and the death penalty or don't like abortion but like the death penalty, but I do not (and I have even tried debating this) understand how some one can abort a baby but not kill a mass murderer.

Coreece 190 #18 February 18, 2012 QuoteLuke 6:37. Or how about, Thou Shalt not Kill. the bible has zero consistency... You will find whatever it is you're looking for in the bible. Some people are looking for inconsistencies, while others are looking to use it to justify their self serving/evil desires...yet others use it for more noble purposes. The bible tends to be a very good judge of character and acts like a mirror to expose who you really are. Some people simply don't like what they see so they try desperately to break it... You shouldn't break mirrors, it's bad luck. Quote...and therefore is used as a tool for whoever is weak enough that they can't come up with a decent argument of their own. It sounds like you're saying that using the bible can give you a decent argument - which makes sense since Santorum obviously didn't use the bible to make his argument against contraceptives.
