Southern_Man 0 #53 March 26, 2014 CornishChrisThe use of words is important. She is not, IMO, sacrificing a child (which makes it sound like an open air altar, a sharp knife and moonlit chanting etc.), rather terminating an unwanted pregnancy. And what would be wrong with that? After all it is what God told Abraham to do to Isaac. God had his own son killed by Crucifixion, which is even more brutal. Talk about not valuing life."What if there were no hypothetical questions?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,436 #60 March 26, 2014 >How about terminating unnecessary unprotected sex? An excellent idea, and education and easily available protection has gone a long way towards that goal. Rates of unintended pregnancy have been going down pretty steadily over the past 50 years. The very best way to eliminate abortions is to eliminate the need for them. Unfortunately there are still people out there campaigning to reduce or eliminate sex education and to make it more difficult for people to obtain and use birth control. These people, if successful, will cause a rise in the rate of abortions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Learn Hebrew and stop relying on translated sources (in this case one of extremely poor quality) to teach you something about the Bible. Or don't, your choice, but you will look foolish using such language to anybody who actually knows what they are talking about."What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

turtlespeed 212 #67 March 26, 2014 CornishChrisIn other news from last year: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hereford-worcester-23104502 Using waste heat from a crematorium to heat a swimming pool. I agree with most of the posters in this thread, at the point that the hospitals are at there is biological waste (nothing more) to be dealt with and burning it is as good an option as any. Taking any benefits from that process is a good thing. Yeah . . . I seem to have an issue with the thought of my child being used to heat a pool.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanG 1 #69 March 26, 2014 QuoteYeah . . . I seem to have an issue with the thought of my child being used to heat a pool. In this case, your child isn't being used to heat a pool. Some of the heat that would have been used to heat the pool is instead being used to burn your child's mortal remains. Were it not for your child's body being in the system, the pool would be even warmer. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #70 March 26, 2014 RonD1120 ***Why do you dislike your god? I was always told that sacrificial offerings are to a higher purpose, in particular divine beings, as an act of propitiation or worship. It is good in his eyes for you to offer him gifts, no? I'd think abortion would be a christian's favorite gift to that guy. You are thinking of the demonic god, Molech. Leviticus 18:21 King James Bible And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD. Ok.. so the only approved version of the Bible.. is that inspired document written to keep an early seventeenth century English monarch happy. Last I checked.. we got rid of that lot just 70 years later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RonD1120 58 #75 March 26, 2014 JerryBaumchen Hi Ron, Quote They want the government to take care of them and meet all their needs. If memory serves, you do collect Social Security? JerryBaumchen You seem to be taking the position of that hippie in northern CA. That is to say, if someone draws Social Security they should support the government's position of complete socialism. I have never understood that thinking. I, as do all working individuals, paid into SS with the understanding the administration would refund my money upon retirement. That is a mandatory contract that is now being fulfilled by the SSA. It is an entitlement by implied contract. Note, my legal language may not be correct. The SSA does not meet, nor do I expect them to, all my needs. On the other hand, overly taxing the working population to provide unearned benefits to those not willing to work is not an equal analogy. I can understand politicians promising those benefits to gain power and votes. I am not able to comprehend how those in the workforce desire to relinquish their disposable income to freeloading welfare clods.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.
