Miscarriages occur much more often than live births. It's actually the norm.

Well, you're forgetting that birth control exists. But even if used 100% correctly, the 1% failure rate is going to mean a million unwanted pregnancies a year in the US alone. You're not going to adopt or abstain your way of of that figure.

Christianity and the GOP disagree with the majority of society on which consequences are acceptable, and they're trying to force their minority views on everyone.

ALSO, ALSO, there are plenty of atheists, secular, and Democratic/left people who are proudly pro life. Their political persuasion or lack of religion has nothing to do with it.

Even the late Christopher Hitchens, an “anti-theist,” admitted the unborn were indeed human, he wasn’t opposed to it, because I suspect his followers would be upset with him.

Who writes the laws? Not the voters

I’m very much aware. But a viable pregnancy shouldn’t be aborted because the child is unwanted. That’s beyond cruel and selfish.

I’m aware birth control exists, and it’s not always effective. If it fails it doesn’t justify having an abortion. Period, again? Don’t want to 100% be a parent? Don’t have sex. It’s not that difficult.

Also, Christianity is meant to be countercultural, but this post isn’t about Christianity.

It’s about protecting the most innocent.

I think most Christians believe that Jesus was here at the start of creation. After all the word "we" was used during Creation. If not Jesus, who would "we" refer to?

Yes.

I can't complain about anything in life. God is good and always takes care of us. Plus, a real murrmer is not good. God bless everyone here!

If you CAN find a replacement battery, it costs more than the original product. And disposing of the batteries is a problem.

Yes, you are right. I found one replacement, which was going for almost 80 bucks! More than the actual tool.

Try asking it what I asked: Why do customers feel that the changes to cracker barrel are woke?

You're just baiting to get a response that you want. Customers don't think it has to do with wokeness. Right wing talking heads don't like change and accuse wokeness for the change regardless of why the change occurred.

The press and social media are reporting that customers are calling it a woke agenda.

Right wing news is saying this and their audience follows like puppets.

Yes, some laws need to be better written and I don’t disagree with that at all. And YES, people can care about both. Good grief.

I even got a corded lawn mower. I don't buy battery-operated tools anymore. The batteries stop working and you cannot find replacements. I have a power drill that was pretty good mechanically, but the battery no longer charges and there are no replacement batteries. Hence = junk.

I read some of her books back in the day, and enjoyed her practical insights.

Always appreciated his ministry. So much practical wisdom and encouragement for living the Christian life.

Yet whether because of unjust rules, not supporting truth nor seeking truth,
or the majority of visitors having no notion of what is truth nor what is right,
what is to be expected any differently ? As Jesus is opposed, so also truth is replaced with false and theories and fairytales, eh?

When has anyone on this forum learned anything, or changed his opinion, or even learned a new and exciting point to support his existing views? Rarely, I think.

and sadly what is false and what is misleading is vastly supported , defended, and "popular" instead of honesty or truth.

I, for one, have learned lots from all the different sections of the forums. I didn't know squat about evolution before I came here, now I know lots.

As one grows and understand more, he is likely to see what has been told about Jesus is true and this becomes the foundation of a growing faith. Once a person has become a Christian, it can be difficult to understand that we are supposed to stop living for ourselves (selfishness) and begin to learn to walk by the Holy Spirit (the selfless loive of Christ). Most Christians are not even aware of this option.

Hello timf.
What was doing Charles Blondin is to gamble over life. What Jesus proposes is not. As for the life of the soul, it seems to me it's even the opposite
