    What are we doing?

    My point being that the book says that Yahweh "hardened Pharaoh's heart." As such, Yahweh is directly culpable for the horrific outcome when (if he is all powerful) he could certainly have organised a better, more humane outcome.  So the Midianites deserved it? My point is...

    What are we doing?

    When I watched the animated feature,  Prince of Egypt, I wept when Yahweh, the god of the Jews, slew the children in Egypt. (Remember he also slew any Jewish kids whose parents hadn't splashed blood above their front door - I think that fact gets too often forgotten) I wept for my...

    Are American soldiers responsible for the massacre of 3000 taliban pow's??

    The consensus at thsi pooint seems to be that the event did occur. Whether the U.S. is at all responsible is up for debate, with the usual America haters being pretty quick to believe that it's all our fault. http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/08/19/1029114079741.html <P class=MsoNormal...

    Partial Birth Abortions increase by 300%

    Can you say, "denial"? Look at this story (you may have read it before, so forgive me)... "Nicola, from Lennoxtown, near Glasgow, was nine weeks pregnant when she had the abortion in August. She and husband Frank, 26, who is epileptic, decided a fourth child would be too much to cope...

    Partial Birth Abortions increase by 300%

    &nbsp; Over the top??!! What do you mean by that? It's biographical information. My mom and I smoked pot together while I was in grade school. She was so "cool." :( &nbsp;

    Partial Birth Abortions increase by 300%

    Good points, wb3. My parents' generation was more interested in being their kids' "friends" than being authority figures. So they smoked dope with their kids. :( &nbsp;

    Who is the real sniper?

    1.) check with Muhammad's ex-wife to see what kind of Dad he was to his biological children. Not quite the model citizen you seem to have a vested interest in portraying him as. 2.) he never adopted Malvo. They just slept together in homeless shelters and elsewhere. &nbsp;

    Partial Birth Abortions increase by 300%

    Point taken. The line between the two blurs for me because my wife and I have been following her pregnancy so closely for the past seven months that I know what a 5-month-old fetus looks like and what is happening developmentally (eg, at 21 weeks, the baby is very active and many moms are able...

    Partial Birth Abortions increase by 300%

    Good points again, wildernesse, but remember that the issue here isn't that these women were unable to get an abortion, it is that they were able to get to a clinic for the partial birth abortion. So, they were able to get to a clinic.

    Partial Birth Abortions increase by 300%

    With all due respect, wildernesse, what does this have to do with&nbsp;a woman (allegedly) going for 4 months (5 months if it's after 20 weeks) before realizing that she's pregnant? I've learned alot about women's fertility and reproductive functioning since my wife and I began trying to...

    Partial Birth Abortions increase by 300%

    Or, perhaps, from a culture that has so denigrated the concept that a fetus is actually a human being?

    Partial Birth Abortions increase by 300%

    &nbsp; I agree. I mean, that many women honestly found it hard to make arrangements for an abortion for over 20 weeks, but found it easy to schedule a partial birth abortion? &nbsp;

    Partial Birth Abortions increase by 300%

    So the real problem is that American women don't know enough about sex?&nbsp; :confused: &nbsp;

    Are American soldiers responsible for the massacre of 3000 taliban pow's??

    I am a veteran of the U.S. Army, and if it comes out from reputable sources that America was directly responsible for this, I will hang my head in shame. However, my first response is that the "Western media" was really, really quick to condemn Israel over a "massacre" that never...

    Partial Birth Abortions increase by 300%

    Excerpt from article: "The number of "partial-birth" abortions has tripled in the past four years, according to a report on abortion trends released this week. An estimated 2,200 dilation and extraction, or D&amp;X, abortions were conducted in 2000, said researchers with the Alan...
