The answer to that is that abortion is the killing of a human being, which means it's morally wrong.

There are certain things which are the government's legitimate responsibility, such as protecting the life of it's citizens and people under it's protection. This would include a policy on abortion.

I suppose that's one possible response.

What do you think occurs after death Pazzo?

Max, those indigenous Palestinians haven't shown any desire higher than the eradication of the Jews in spite of the Jews abiding by just about every peace accord in those last 60 years. Read a new set of history books and don't be an idiot.

Pazzo, show me where he killed hundreds of thousands of Iragi civilians? If you're getting your facts from that site XenoxNews (which, by the way, you misspelled in your URL), you're not doing yourself or the truth any favors.
My recent post Ray Stevens ObamaCare

It's a sad thing if you can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality, Pazzo.

If you equate comic books and historical fact, you're beyond my abilities.
My recent post Ray Stevens ObamaCare

Completely with you there JJp.

The leadership somehow get it in their minds they have a better idea regarding what's best for these people. And in their misguided ways they end up hurting the very people they claim to be helping.

One wonders, in the face of such incontrovertible facts, whether people, like those leading the City of Chicago, know they're doing harm and continue their policies for other purposes or whether they are truly blind to the results of their policies.

I'd add that an important basis of any economic and governmental system that Christians in particular ought to consider is the freedom it allows the individual to make their own choices about how they live their lives. A system that allows greater freedom also allows the true character of the individual to show more than a system that forcibly and unvoluntarily redistributes wealth.

Before God we ought to be able to say, after confirmation of our salvation by our names being found in the Book of Life, that we of our own free will lived our lives voluntarily and by personal choice (I'm kinda harping on that) in such a way that brought glory to Him. Saying the government made me do it somehow has less impact,

This was one point of my most recent article "Why Conservative, Christian?"

It's a cultural thing.

It is indeed a fact that arranged marriages are as successful as "normal" marriages in communities where that is the norm. Which indicates the real base of true love: commitment.

As I did with my wife and my father did with my mother, we entered the marriage relationship with commitment. One way to describe it is that "Divorce" is not in our dictionary.

It really doesn't matter how one enters in that relationship so much as they enter it with commitment.

Science, philosophy, and religious study, when guided by sincere and honest pursuit, will end up at the same place.

Philosophy and religion, because they're not burdened the scientists endlessly repetitive studies and experiments, get there must faster.

Science has a false pride that its results are truer than those achieved by thought, and in many cases, the intermediate discoveries are good and worthwhile. But if science is pursued only for the discovery of the final "why", those pursuing such aims would be better served putting up their beakers and opening a book, and their mind.
