  Awake= "Playstation Games like playing with Radioactive waste!!"

  by Witness 007 in

  2. bible

  awake 2008 jan.p.19 "choosing to play violent and immoral games is like choosing to play with radioactive waste.

  the damaging effects may not be immediatley obvious, but they are inevitable.

  exposure in high doses of radiation can destroy the lining of the stomach and allow bacteria from the intestines to invade the bloodstream, resulting in sickness.

  If you believe in Evolution then your a fool! God really is REAL!

  by Blackboo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  here are some questions evolution never bring up or will evade questioning.

  these are serious questions that kill all the silly beliefs about how the earth or universe got here..and here is why.

  think about this for a second we would not be here if nothing for all existence did not exist.

  LOL!!!
  
  Where did God come from? God would have to be more complex then his creation, right? Now, what is more plausible?
  
  Also, evolution does not attempt to explain the origin of life.

  Obama. Not as polarizing as Hillary. The country needs a President who can work with both parties.

  Being a Pro-Life Atheist

  it's strange and i'm not sure if it's because of my upbringing, but i just can't be pro-choice.

  i just don't see the rational justification (other than a situation where the mother's life is in danger).

  i don't, however, see a problem with stuff like the morning-after pill, when the embryo is just a group of cells with no consciousness.

  Is prevention the best way? People are going to have sex, no matter how much we tell them otherwise. Condoms, protection training, etc can help mitigate the chance an abortion may happen.

  WorldTraveler, that kind of dichotomous thinking just doesn't work. Life isn't black or white. People do not make the decision to keep or abort in a vacuum, you have to look at the context.
  
  I think it is a personal decision that no one but the person having the child can make.
  
  As for being anti-life, well, I would love to see advances in stem cell research help millions on the planet someday live longer, better lives.
