I'm sorry, weren't we supposed to be upgrading our system? Shouldn't that make it easier to use? I'm with Aaron. Just because IT spent years producing a bad system doesn't mean we have to sit by while that system makes our life harder.

This is just badly written. Your last sentence has four "and"s and a "but." How is that ever a good idea?

Oh my. I went back and looked and I think you're right. It's a sad day for Christians.

I feel the need to tell you that the article was sarcastic. Though it was so poorly written your confusion is at least understandable, if still kind of silly.

The word is "gist," not "jest." And I believe Gandhi and MLK might have something to say in favor of nonviolnce.

Hmmm... An "Our View" that I find myself agreeing with. How unusual.

I'm getting really tired of all the criticism of the displays coming from people who haven't taken the time to ask JFA what it's trying to accomplish. If you want to be mad, be mad. But if you want to write an article and have others read it, then try actually becoming informed about what you're talking about.

Clearly neither of the people writing here actually talked to anyone from Justice For All. The pictures serve primarily to spark discussion, and if they had actually talked to the people who work there, they would have found the JFA workers to be sensitive and reasonable. As for JFA not understanding the breadth of the issue, they talk about it every day with lots of different kinds of people. They probably understand abortion better than most. And I know JFA has the contact info for crisis pregnancy centers all over.

Finally, I must point out the hypocrisy of accusing JFA of emotional appeals and then throwing around phrases like "hate speech." JFA may or may not have obscene displays, but accusing them of hate is pure emotialism.

As for calling pro-choicers "pro-abortion," it's legitimate. There were many people in the South who chose not to own slaves but still thought other people ought to be able to. These people are not considered to be pro-choice. They are considered to be pro-slavery. I wish I had a better, less charged analogy, but this is the only one I know and it works.

Abrune, you start out reasonably, but your conclusion is horribly flawed.

Consider this analogy. You're hunting and you think someone might be behind a bush. There is a very real possibility that there is someone behind the bush, but you can not be sure. Do you shoot at the Bush? Do you let someone else shoot at the Bush? Applying deadly force to what may be human is at the very least man-slaughter. By your reasoning, slavery would have been okay because people differed whether blacks were persons.

I'm also really sick of the argument that it is the woman's body. It really isn't. The abortion takes place inside the woman's body, to be sure, but if it actually affects the woman's body something has gone terribly wrong. Abortions are performed on what is biologically speaking a living human that exists as a distinct organism from the mother. Saline is put in the womb to burn the baby or some physical method is used to kill it. If any of those methods are applied to the mother, then she would be would be rendered infertile, wounded, or killed. Abortion is only about the mother's body when it goes horribly wrong. Any logic otherwise could be used to justify someone biting off another's finger because it was in the biters mouth. Location does not diminish another's rights, especially their right to life.

For all those who scoff at the possibility of a connection between abortion and Iraq, do you really find it so hard to believe that a lack of respect for life might have something to do with our being in a war?

I'm flattered that you thought of me, Brian. And yes, regula fide, not sola scriptura.

I must say I sympathize with T_Money's argument, but not the flippant tone with which it is delivered. And I think Rology's addition was completely unnecessary and uncalled for. It is designed more to tick people off than present an actual argument. The proper response to homosexuality is empathy or nothing. Anything else only serves to alienate those who we should be admonishing.

And free4all, I think we can all agree that no one loves more than Jesus. Consider that Jesus often rebuked those who were doing wrong. Sincere criticism is a result of love, not a contradiction to it.
