Your views and mine are pretty similar. No one knows what religion I am, and I offer no clue. As for the Christians they don't bother me anymore than any other. I have known many Catholics and dated a very Catholic girl in college. I had a lot of compassion for her...but very little passion -vbg- Tough gig being a Catholic IMO. I agree the Bob Jones thing was not a good move. I never want to be a politician. I would last about, um, ten minutes. Anti-abortion. Hmmmm, that is a very interesting choice of words. I like that. I have always had difficulty with the lack of honesty in the term "pro-choice". It seems to me that pro-choice is really pro-death except when you change your mind. To allow choice is to allow death. There are few matters in life where there is so little gray area to work with. Its either life, or it is death. Sure we cloud it with rape, adoption, and a host of other issues, but the seeker of truth will always come back to those two. Are you for life or for death? Now if you choose death you can change your mind right up to the time you do it, but until then its still death. I think spades should be called spades. As for the actual issue itself I have never let my views be known here. It has no point. Each person must decide if they are for life or they are for death. There just is not any gray. What I do find funny are those that argue about when life begins. I would like to know where these people are because I have many, many things to sell them. Life begins at conception, and there is no debate about it. No court is going to decide that it is only 1/3 or 2/3 or all the way to the blue sky day that determines when life begins. If they do, then I want the names of those judges because, I have many, many things to sell them. HAGO TH
