gowlerk 2,156 #751 December 5, 2015 QuoteI had compulsory Bible study from age 4 to age 18. Completely off topic, but.... My cousins and I always slipped out the side door of the church and went to play on Sunday mornings, skipping out on the lessons. Then home for lunch time with no one the wiser. I am a little ashamed to admit that we would spend our weekly collection dime on candy. Feels a little like we stole from God, even though I'm a non believer.Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

turtlespeed 212 #753 December 6, 2015 kallend*************** "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends” QED, an obsession with death. It forms the centerpiece of your religion. That's just your twisted, biased perspective - a double standard. When somebody risks their own life to save someone else, even secular society calls them a hero. That is TOTALLY different from basing an entire religion on the death of an individual and using the execution instrument as your symbol. You need to read up a bit. The religion is based on his being the messiah, and the work he did for the masses. I had compulsory Bible study from age 4 to age 18. You may recall that the most important Christian feast is Easter. Something to do with being executed. Technically it is the resurrection not the death that is celebrated. One can't have the one without the other, but nonetheless, it's the resurrection. I have always viewed Christ,as as the most important christian holiday. But then . . . Lent is important too.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

wolfriverjoe 1,495 #757 December 6, 2015 Interesting. CMP was ordered by a California court to disclose the names of it's supporters. They appealed to the Supreme Court and were denied. Apparently, they are afraid of retaliation for what they did. Big surprise."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

I wonder what he would say in a post if someone donated a good amount of money to the police officers legal defense fund for cops being brought up on charges for shootings. In my mind, abortion is still murder. I don't care what the PC way of thinking is. In my mind it is killing a human being. In my mind, anyone that donates to an organization that murders condones murder.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

gowlerk 2,156 #774 December 19, 2015 QuoteSimplest answer is yes. I admire the clear cut honesty of that answer, although I disagree. The thing I like about this position is it's lack of ambiguity. It displays none of the dishonesty that many people express when they say on one hand that abortion is murder and should be illegal, and on the other hand support exceptions in cases of rape or incest. If a fetus is a person, and abortion is murder, it makes no sense at all to assign a lesser value to a life conceived through a taboo action. I consider people who hold this position to be more concerned with controlling the morals of women then to having concern for the fetus. So now I'll ask you. Would you make exceptions to the rule for rape victims? And if so can you justify it?

(I know you dislike typing and prefer yes/no answers, so feel free to use them) First you have to ask if there is anything that justifies murder. Which you did. Murder is murder. I can see, just in the same way as if someone is attacking you and you are in fear of your life, or are in mortal danger, that there are cases of justified murder.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
