Free Will And Choice
What gets me about SD, etc, and the new abortion laws is that the free will of women is being taken away by the government and the people who are pushing for this are people who think that God is leading them.
But God doesn't interfere with our free will. A quick look around will let you know that's true. He leaves us to our own minds, our own decisions, good or bad, He doesn't make them for us. Jesus didn't have the whores thrown in jail. He didn't start an end prostitution it's a sin campaign. He was a pretty cool guy, he even ate with tax collectors! Remember the whole he who has no sin thing?? It all boils down to free will and a personal relationship with God. Fellowship with Christians is a wonderful blessing but when we allow the view of man to enter into our relationship with God....well, it's not a relationship with God anymore, is it?
Jesus did get mad at the money changers for defiling His Father's house. Pretty violent. He threw stuff. He smashed shit. He acted like an anarchist although I have been assured by the members of RevLeft He was not.
He didn't like politics or profiteering in the temple. Not. One. Bit.
On the subject of abortion He was silent. Silent.
As should we all be. It is a personal decision no one but the woman involved has the right to make.

Don't you have a clinic to protest somewhere?
Shoelimpy has disappeared? When? What happened to him? Are there any leads??
Everyone at Atrios loves me. Atrios is envious of my popularity. Loving me is perhaps the only thing the posters there do in direct defiance of Atrios.
Jeff loves me most.
You love me second most.

How have you been?
I'm doing pretty well, thanks for asking, young honey. How's Mandy?
Haven't kept up with Mandy. We played off each other a lot at NE, but I didn't know her on MSN or anything.
Is everyone hanging around Mage's forum or did that end up being taken down?
