    New York legislature votes to legalize abortion up to birth, let non-doctors commit

    So how would an abortion at that late stage help there? They would still have to go through the trauma of labour. Whereas a cesarean would resolve these issues far quicker. There are, as far as I can see, no reasons whatsoever to go with an abortion over a cesarean at this late stage of a pregnancy.

    Because it has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion. He could be white, mexican, chinese or anything. It wouldn't make the slightest difference to this topic. The only reason to bring his race into this is to make it divisive.

    You know, if you really want to help those kids, there is a way. Give up what little you have (shouldn't be a problem for you as you don't have much) and move to africa where $1000 a month is living like a king. The average wage in parts of africa is $10 per WEEK! so yes, in comparison to them...

    Pastors and Lamborghinis

    The problem is they don't hold themselves to any kind of standard first. They just want to shout and judge someone else without knowing any facts. Do you know how much the pastor donates to good causes every year? Do you know how much he earns from the church, or how much he earns from non...

    With respect you chose a rubbish analogy.

    That last line is utter rubbish sorry. You are equating something perfectly legal with committing a crime. Pure sophistry.

    Buying a house would pay for just as many. Do you really need an expensive house when a tent will suffice? All I am saying is where do we draw the line? Just because he has more money than you doesn't mean that you get to set where the line is for him. You have NO RIGHT to judge him. 1. he is...

    But you could set the example. You could use a library computer to spread the word. You don't NEED your own computer. That's the point. You have your own priorities that justify your luxuries. You are no different to the pastor. He gives to charity, he prioritises his spending. It's just on a...

    The only time you are allowed to judge anyone is when you are in full possession of all of the facts. We don't and cannot have those in this case. No one is saying buying the car is better than helping kids, however, what we are saying is that if you are so certain that we should be stopping...

    Pastors and Lamborghinis

    Again, a lot of people here making some serious judgments and accusations. We know not whether the pastor has previously given away millions to charitable causes or if he has spent it all on cars and other items. You are castigating a man for a single purchase for his wife. You know nothing of...

    Pastors and Lamborghinis

    Good for you. I'm sure the pastor does the same. Again, your choice on what your priorities are. It doesn't make it inherently wrong to buy a nice car. What would be the cut off point if it was? $2000? $20000? $50000? $150000? After all, any amount would make a huge difference to someone...

    No one has said a Lamborghini is more important. Just that it is HIS choice to spend the money as he wishes. As I said, we have no idea how much money he gives away. No idea what his priorities are for his spending. You cannot judge someone or criticize them based on one purchase reported in the...

    or or Its the same thing. Just at a different level. Model what you wish to see in others first BEFORE you criticize them. God bless.

    Pastors and Lamborghinis

    As I said, using your PC is YOUR choice. But the money could be better spent on the poor by your own standards. You use your money the way you see fit. It doesn't give you any right to judge how others use theirs. The pastor, for all you know, may give millions of dollars away every year from...

    Correct you don't. But the Pastor also already gives. Are we supposed to decide that he doesn't give enough? If so, why can't we decide whether you do or not? Take your phone for example. Every 10 you put onto it to pay for calls is another meal a hungry family could have. Do you REALLY need a...

    I presume that all those saying that "luxuries" should be forgone in order that these starving children be fed are selling their mobile phones, stopping their Sky/ Cable / netflix / Gym subscriptions and selling their TVs and Computers? None of which are necessities. (Obviously if you are self...

    Christianity and Capital Punishment

    Personally I don't see how you can marry up Christianity with the death sentence. As for innocents executed try looking at this. http://www.ncadp.org/pages/innocence Not good at all. "Better 10 Guilty men go free than one innocent should suffer" William Blackstone

    British Gov euthanize brain-dead baby(RIP)

    Yes, as he was already dead anyway. His body was just playing catch up sadly. This poor child had no life. No chance. His only hope was Jesus. He is now at peace and happy with the Lord. His family can now grieve and move on.

    British Gov euthanize brain-dead baby(RIP)

    No, NO-ONE owns the child. Parents don't have rights over their children they have responsibilities for them. Big difference. They have the responsibility to do what is right for the child. Sometimes this means doing something that the parent doesn't want.
