By the way - you've obviously missed the whole point of Christianit Guess what - scripture is not supposed to be used a weapon or as an attack on others...

Also - eating meat on Friday used to be considered an "abomination"

I think I'm going to go the unoriginal route and just second Tower's notion that your ignorance IS astounding...

Default dont you get tired of being wrong?

You are foolish if you believe that only ones elected in office want to get rid of abortion...the majority of Americans think it is murder and uncalled for. It represents everything bestial in society.
The majority of Americans do NOT think it is murder, only a very vocal MINORITY. A MINORITY that insists on foisting its narrow views on the rest of us. Also, you need to READ better: I didnt say only our elected officials feel this way, but rather that the majority of our elected officials were MEN.
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION.
btw: Abortion is NOT bestial. you need to look up "bestial".

and fyi: outlawing abortion will not eliminate the procedure, it will only force it underground....women have been terminating pregnancies for eons. In fact, the medical procedure we NOW use was legalized to prevent the numerous deaths from desperate women who used coat hangers or knitting needles or herbal remedies and the like. You are incredibly IGNORANT about this issue, and should do more research.

But it is supposed to be use as a guide book for our faith, its what God has left us. You keep saying its "using the bible as a weapon" well guess what. Sometimes God told his people things that they didn't really want to hear. Didn't mean he didn't love them any less. His world, His rules! It's not TRYING to come up with some scripture that might HINT that homosexual is a sin, but when scripture FLAT FACED tells you....NO ITS AN ABOMINATION...hmmmm! Thats something you can't ignore because "its going to hurt someone's feelings."

Oh wow...women have been doing it for eons...that makes it ok! You got me on that one

If you don't view this act as bestial then YOU are the one is Ignorant to everyone’s right to life.

Bestial--
1 a : of or relating to beasts b : resembling a beast
2 a : lacking intelligence or reason b : marked by base or inhuman instincts or desires :

To kill an offspring because "you can't fit into your prom dress" or because "I'm affraid I can't raise he/she in a good life" is bestial, a cop out, and common as hell.

"Any country that accepts abortion, is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what it wants." -- Mother Teresa

It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish." -- Mother Teresa

But it doesn't say that - the bible in its true form doesn't mention the word "homosexual" It's been studied and confirmed that the Leviticus part that you all cling to doesn't even apply to homosexualtiy per se....also the whole Sodom and Gomorah stuff - that's not about homosexuality either...

Don't really want or need to go into all this because you've already got your opinion on this....

But whatever - there are only a few admonitions of homosexuals in the Bible and MANY MANY more admonishing straight people and their behaviours...looks like you all are just as nasty as those gays <-- note tone in that is not serious...

PUTTING WORDS INTO PEOPLES MOUTHS is something common in this board.

I think partaking in homosexual activity is wrong, but I don'th hate the person whos doing it. Why? That wouldn't solve anything...

Love the person, Hate the sin!

You guys act like its a shock that a conservative would have...guess what...conservative views! GEE you think!?!

What the hell world are you living in?

You think the woman who was raped brutally and then impregnated is aborting her baby because she can't fit into a prom dress?

You think the crack addicted whore who got pregnant with her 7th child (all the others are being F***Ed by the foster care system) should have another child???

You obviously haven't picked up a newspaper or read about the foster care system in this country....

abortion is NOT bestial, it is not related to beasts or resembling a beast.

THAT is a gross oversimplification and I can think of NO instance where any woman I knew got an abortion for that reason. PUH LEEZ.

I admire Mother Teresa. I think she led an exemplary life. That doesnt mean I agree with her on this issue. And until you've "walked a mile in another's moccasins" you cannot pretend you know what is best for them. The lesson here is to MIND YOUR OWN BLOODY BUSINESS. BUTT OUT. Im sure you've got enough character flaws of your own to work on without worrying about what someone else is doing. As Jesus said, "take the mote out of your own eye first" or put another way "people who live in glass houses should not throw stones"

Well I wonder why...because there were no words in the hebrew language to match the common english term "homosexual".

Well, and you have to express you feelings. If you feel like saying F*ck me then that is your choice. But Im sick and tired of the unborn who have no voice being murderd.

May the cries of the murdered unborn reach the ears of God. It is my prayer!

Seriously, living in a Catholic Country, I went to a primary Catholic school, but the teachers were pretty open-minded and encouraged me to read about other religions too. Actually my teacher, a nun, when I was ten gave me a book about Gandhi who became my hero . I'd do the same with my children, I'd encourage them to read, to learn, to be curious, not putting our culture on a pedestal. To live in a world full of certainties is really scary and dangerous.
