>Otoh it is by no means certain that it will. Cultural differences remain. Here advocating the death penalty is about as "politically incorrect" as racism, in the US it is definitely not the case, and in spite of a lot of communication across the pond I don't see that changing (either way) anytime soon.
Are you really in France? I must say the government has taken a bold stance against the Islamists. Perhaps you libs are getting the picture that Islam is way more of a threat to secularism than Christianity is. But that is no surprise, Libs like to whine about giving other people their 'rights' until it infringes on the 'rights' of their own secular philosophy. LOL

Trevor,
The whole bunch of you refuse to look at the logic as it plays out. You can't take it. It create disonance because you fear that I am right and you are no better off by leaving Momma Watchtower.

Perhaps the only thing more pathetic than Rex's primitive approach to morality is his vilification of those who uses the same spurious method to obtain moral guidance, but for geographical or cultural reasons, slavishly
Ha ha, are keeping company with old JGnat? Are you slavishly drooling on her toes, Derek?

There are two possible answers to any scripture regarding judgment.
1) It is probably prophetic language that is being used as a warning or deterrent. This is like what we find in the Law.
2) God sets the rules and His providential rights are absolute. God cannot be anything other than God. If he is then he is not god!

Your name is truly descriptive.....
>Rex - I thought I answered. Apologies if you didn't understand. I didn't say it was morally right to distinguish between life and the unborn, I meant that it's human 'instinct'. We cannot relate to an unborn child (even if it IS within inches of being born), but we CAN relate to the mother/murderer (because we COULD find ourselves in that position).
Are you serious? LOL The least civilized persons of the world absolutely revere a pregnant woman in their own tribe. They are protected as a priority. For an enemy tribe this is why they either subjugate the women and small children or kill them...no retribution.
>Also (just for your interest), PRO-abortionists use a BIBLICAL argument. Until God breathed air into the body of Adam, he was not a living soul. (Genesis 2 v 7). They maintain that until God does likewise to a child, it is just a dead soul (only God can create life). But I think that's another discussion, lol.
That's just as laughable in light of Biblical exegesis. The statements in the O.T. about the womb/child blow away that argument. Original species do not apply. You know, 'Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" For a Biblicist the answer is 'the chicken'.

>Although I'm sure you've heard this rejection before, I'll state it anyways: Even if you chose to follow Pascal's wager, which religion? There is no way to know which is right and if you choose the wrong one, you're damned anyways (unless a universalist god is the "real" one).
Pascal beat that one with the evidencial history of Christianity as opposed to all other religions. Christianity wins as soon as someone admits the logic of deism. That's why you see such extreme reaction amongst the unfaithful here.

MKR,
Have you thought of pursuing some counseling? You seem to be awfully hostile. Before you crack all the way open like a goonie-bird egg in a freezer, why not go out and get some exercise, maybe hit a punching bag. Have you ever done a 'primal scream'? Roger Waters of Pink Floyd did a great one on 'Careful with that Axe, Eugene'.

>Good point - Religions don't bring along any freedom whatsoever, as history well testifies. Even in this day and age religious people often have constantly present fears, fear of hell, fear of judgment day, fear of Armageddon, fear to displease god. Yes fear everywhere so they can hardly speak to be free in the sense of words spoken by Jesus "the truth will set you free", Truth does set you free but if you have those ever present fears then you are hardly free. Even this thread in its undercurrent attempts stressing 'awareness' of law and punishment even though it doesn't say so explicitly No point at all. Also, your post has more logical errors than I care to point out. Rex
