But it was an analogy.I drew the analogy I did because, living in the Bible Belt as I do (sigh), I see young teens and adults completely turned off by religion every day because of the heavy-handed way it is presented.

AHEM!!!
I accept apologies from those who said i was wrong.
Do you really think that I should have taken this poor broken woman and told her, "You're a murderer. Repent and you'll feel better." (She was someone I knew in a pregnancy exercise class, and we moved out of state about six months later.) Well, sorry, I wasn't going to make her feel worse than she already did. Instead, I focused on how hard she was focusing on her health and her strength, and tried to reassure her that the baby she was expecting would not die shortly after birth (as the baby she aborted would have.) It was obvious that she had already been tormented enough.
No one has to call someone a murderer. Just listen and it comes out they feel this way inside - already.
Or eventually.
