[quote]Self-will is my life silly … I am an atheist???[/quote] [quote]and I will not be categorized[/quote] but you've already categorized yourself many times giving yourself a title of atheist. You mentioned being self willed to which I replied "of course, you are doing exactly what you should be doing as an atheist." That is, you are exerting your self will instead of God's will. That is exactly what an atheist would do. There's a sayin

[quote]I had hoped to start a conversation about the movie but, oh well … You might have started out with your take on the actual movie … like have you even seen it, etc. It would help here if you had actually watched the movie [/quote] Well I went for the question that was asked. Sorry about that. Thought you wanted an answer. I haven't seen the movie. I don't usually watch rated R movies (with a few exceptions) which usually have glori

"My heart tells me that people are inherently good honest folk , but my experience has sadly proven otherwise. Would you say that people are mostly good?" The only way I can answer this is from my biblical worldview because that's what I believe is truth. It sounds as tho you are hoping like mad that you're wrong but your experience tells you otherwise. The experience you spe

[quote] In her case, because she plans to keep it, I don't see any win-win.[/quote] I agree. Seen this before. It doesn't work. The girl I wrote about picked out and met the adoptive parents after going over many applicants. While in the hospital she changed her mind because the nurse brought the baby in to her to nurse (they messed up) and that was that. So she brought the baby home to her mom's and the adoptive parent's <

yes, Lula. I remember reading the history of how the whole Roe Vs. Wade decision was made by the lady that was used as their test case. She never ended up having her abortion and was tossed aside like garbage once the pro-abortion people got their decision. Norma McCorvey went on to work in abortion clinics afterwards for a while and later wrote about how the whole thing was founded on a lie as she exposed one lie after another.

Yes, I also don't know any who are celebratory about having to abort their child as if they made the right decision. I do know of a young lady who recently gave her child up via adoption. It's an open adoption and from what I can see and understand it's a win-win for all. The decision beforehand was excruciating for the very young mother and her family but now she's happy knowing she made the right decision The baby is

You have to be kidding me! Giving birth is more dangerous than abortion? Yep, that's what the doctors and nurses in Britain are being told to tell their patients. They just don't stop there. They go on to advise that these same doctors should tell their patients that there is no more trauma, illness or guilt associated with terminating a pregnancy than going full term and d

Being forthright and being hateful are two different things B.T. I had absolutely no hate behind my comments. I said it as I saw it. I don't know you, how can I hate you? Could you be confusing "hate" with having a differing opinion? Are you only looking for those who will agree with you? If that's the case, then most certainly Lula and I shouldn't be here.

For the record..I was following the article(s) BT has put out and with a small exception said very little because I could see she/he wishes to argue and play the assumption game that I'm just not all that interested in playing. I also don't have a problem with someone being an atheist..pretty much as Tova said..actions and decisions have consequences, but ultimately it's your life, your choice. I praise God continually for opening my eyes to Him and I

From a practical standpoint, the more support they're given (food, medical, safe environment) as children, the less likely they will be to suck off the public when they're older through illness (from poor nutrition as a child), have less medical problems which results in fewer workman's comp claims and SS claims.
