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...

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...

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...

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...

&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;

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;

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;

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...

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.

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...

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

&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;

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

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...

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...

&nbsp; Nothing?? Nothing??!! I would venture that Mr. Vacchs himself would disagree with you there. The kids he has sworn to defend are not victims of "religious legalism" or "fundamentalism." I agree that these two things can be sources of great suffering, but the hyperbole does your...

Good points, Gwyyn.

Most of these modified and hybrid crops do not produce their own seeds. Some would consider that a possible problem. Some might even complain that instead of using naturally-occurring seeds, one is forced to buy seeds from the corporations instead of having a&nbsp;natural agricultural cycle...

I was able to support my "premise" with quotes from Sanger herself, as well as the entirety of one of her own works. Do you only have vague reeferences to "authoritative biographies"? "When we learn further that the total number of inmates in public and private institutions in the State of...

I have been very close to several women who had been raped; was even married to one for a while. And while I can never know what it's like for such a woman, I can tell you what they've told me - that it leaves scars on their hearts and minds. As such, I can't believe that killing the baby is the...
