Do you really believe condoms contribute to the mass murder of children? Also, I find it extremely hypocritical that someone can be pro-life, yet in favor of the death penalty. In terms of abortion, there is no "pro-life." Rather, pro-choice and anti-choice. Pro-choice does not translate to "pro-abortion" or "anti-life." Nor does pro-life actually mean "pro-life." "Pro-life" means you want to take the choice away from women, as you stated above. Also, a lot of members of the Republican Party are anti-choice, anti-euthanasia, yet pro-death penalty. Does this mean they are only pro-life on their own terms? Also, how can a Christian be in favor of the death penalty when the sixth commandment is "thou shall not kill"? Many people have interpreted this to mean, "thou shall not murder;" however, when the individual is put to death, is this not murder?Solid_Idhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323330723537252992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-580759847223310893.post-36041451290073994772009-05-28T23:18:45.422-07:002009-05-28T23:18:45.422-07:00Thanks for that!

I agree with you that the Right isn't alone in trying to silence opposition from time to time. <br /><br />Personally, I don't feel that Jesus would've dealt with the situation at Liberty as the administration did. He was okay with people disagreeing with him, because He was focused on and convinced of the truth of His own mission. He wasn't into manipulation and mind-control--people were free to accept or reject what he offered. To me, that's one of the most profound things about Him--if anyone has the right to bring the smackdown and make people listen, it's Almighty God. ;)<br /><br />But as you talked about in your most recent post, He stayed focused on His mission. Time was short, after all.<br /><br />I have a lot I could say about this, but I'll keep it at that. :) Keep writing, dude!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969357513275063157noreply@blogger.com
