This is why I posted the clarification from page 32, of “Planned Parenthood v Casey,” which says, “Roe did not declare an unqualified ‘constitutional right’ to an abortion.”

That clarification from SCOTUS fine-tunes Roe.

In another decision, SCOTUS — in Planned Parenthood v Pennsylvania, I think — Associate Justice O’Connor, writing for the Court, said that there is human life in the womb.

The pro-choice = pro-abortion = wrong-choice crowd wants to distract us from noticing those little tidbits.

I think I addressed that by posting the part of the Supreme Court decision that says that abortion is not an “unqualified constitutional right.”

In other words, the Court agrees with Pro-Life.

You don’t know??? You can’t tell???

==They’re kind of annoying.==

Things are tough all over.

The appropriate and critical phrasing, on page 32, of Planned Parenthood v Casey says, “Roe did not declare an unqualified ‘constitutional right’ to an abortion.”

To Keri: Mr. Incredible (who kind of cracks me up) is in fact completely right about “gay Christians” being an oxymoron. (By the way, “No, you’re wrong. Flat out wrong”? Really? I thought you condemned those “Nuh-uh, you’re wrong!” answers?) Being a Christian does not mean that you simply believe in God. It means that you follow Christ. Yes, you’re right; we /are/ all sinners, as Romans 3:23 tells us. However, a Christian does not continue in it. We will all fail God at some point as we are only human, but you cannot purposely and actively continue in your sin (And it /is/ a sin; homosexuality is a lifestyle one /chooses/ to partake in, not something you are born into, and no one can or will ever prove otherwise because it’s simply not true) and stay in God’s favor. You cannot serve two masters. You serve God and dwell in Him, or you serve Satan and his sin.

Also… Almost all of what you supposedly “know” about the Bible is false. First of all, the old law (the old testament) is dead. It was nailed to the cross with Jesus Christ, who all the old laws were meant to bring us to. The ten commandments were part of that law (and even then were not the /extent/ of the law, by the way), though nine of the ten were restated in the new testament/law. Second, there is more to obeying God and His gospel than all of that “accepting Him into your heart” nonsense. He commands more. The steps to salvation: hear, believe, repent, confess, be baptized, and live faithfully unto death. This requires actual action on the part of the formerly lost. Third, all this “I say” doesn’t /matter/. What you say, what I say, none of it /matters/. God is in charge. Who are you to decide who is or isn’t saved? Pick up your Bible, dust it off, open it up, and read it before you try to correct someone who obviously knows more about having a bond with God and knowing His Word than you.

To many here (the majority of these are liberals who apparently only repeat what they hear their fellow wolves-in-sheep’s-clothing crying): it seems a lot of you have not done your homework, so I will lay out the facts concerning “separation of church and state” for you. “Separation of church and state” is, in fact, found nowhere in our Constitution. The phrase actually comes from a letter Thomas Jefferson sent to the Baptists of Danbury, Connecticut, who were worried that the government would step in to tell them what to do. Jefferson derived the phrase from the portion of the Constitution which reads, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” and he used it to assure them that the government would /not/ interfere with their religion. That religion is protected against government is true. However, the Founding Fathers /never/ said religion had no place in government. In fact, most of our laws come from numerous biblical principles, hence the hanging (rightfully so) of the ten commandments in our courtrooms. It’s simply a part of our history; it is indeed what we were founded upon.

As far as the article goes. I, like Peter Pike, disagree that we are to tolerate all opinions. (I loved the quote, Peter.) For example, I absolutely refuse to tolerate the opinion that a woman should have the “right” to choose to kill her child whilst in the womb, just because he or she temporarily must reside there (due, in literally 99% of cases, to her own preventable actions) and which is in no way, scientifically speaking and otherwise, an actual part of her body. There’s nothing in that I can or would ever respect, much less accept and do nothing about. However, other than that smallish disagreement, I commend the author (Goodness, he illustrated Five Iron Frenzy albums?! That is the coolest.) on the remainder of this article. I have been waiting on someone to notice this extreme hypocrisy.

If they have done and are doing nothing wrong, repent for what?

If they realize they’ve done wrong, they would not only wanna stop the conduct, they would wanna stop the thought that leads and has led to such conduct. And, yet, you say that they say they still have such thoughts. So, internal change — which happens when one is born again — has not taken place in the individual who says he still has those thoughts. Islam, fo’ example, is about external change, and it’s external change you’re talking about. The change must also be internal.

You don’t know????

== There’s no DOING homosexuality.==

Yes, there is.

== There’s being gay…==

Yes, there is the choice to “be” homosexual, just like on Halloween, going out and “being” a spook.

==… and there’s having gay sex.==

Yes, there is the choice to go out, having chosen to “be” homosexual, and doing homosexual.

==The two are mutually exclusive.==

No, they ain’t.

== I can be straight and not have sex, and yet I am still straight.==

However, the urge is to go and “do” it, and, at some time, you go and “do” it.

== In fact, I’m not having sex right now…==

The key phrasing there is, “right now.” We’re not told about later today, nor about tomorrow, or next month, etc.

=== …one cannot choose what one is (being gay).==

And, yet, they do. It’s a crazy world, isn’t it.

== It’s why straight people in prison can have gay sex, and gay people conforming to society xan have straight sex.==

As I say, it’s a crazy world, and choice plays such a big part, huh.

== It doesn’t make our prison populated by homos…==

It DOESN’T?????

==…gay Christians…==

No such thing.

==… who choose to not have sex, repent for any homosexual sex they’ve ever had, and never have sex again, are forgiven.==

Fo’given for what?

==And that ‘it says don’t murder not don’t kill’ is splitting hairs. We both know exactly what sin I was talking about.==

Murder is killing, but killing is not necessarily murder.

==BTW, I found out yesterday that bulls kept only with other bulls turn gay. Did you know that? I think it’s fascinating that homosexuality is recorded in species or than man.==

No, it isn’t. It is the wishful thinking of those wanting to find “homosexuality” elsewhere.

In any case, Man is not an animal; He is a Special Creation, and God didn’t make Covenant with the animals.

==It makes you wonder why that happens.==

No, it doesn’t, since homosexuality doesn’t happen in animals, only in theminds of those who wanna dream up justifications.

What is misinterpreted as homosexuality in animals is actually a struggle for dominance.

== I mean, why would a bull choose to be gay?==

Cuz you want him to be homosexual as a premise.

== Although, of course, bulls don’t have the ability to choose, so there we go…==

How do YOU know?

Oh, and thanks for telling me all about how my friend isn’t trying hard enough to be straight.==

You’re welcomed. Glad to be of help.

== I’m glad you came to that conclusion after reading three sentences about her on the internet.==

She is not the only one. Many who claim to be homosexual say that they have “tried” to change but also say they cannot. That’s cuz they want, deep down, not to change.

== I told her what you said, and she jumped up and said she was cured by your words of wisdom. ==

Great!

==Oh, and I forgot: gay marriage will be legalized, in your lifetime.==

It already is legal. A man who claims to be homosexual may marry a woman who is homosexual right now!

== Folks, it’s been fun, but now it’s only frustrating.==

Ran outta substance already, huh?

== I enjoy real debates, but when the opponent in the debate only throws out “nuh-uh you’re wrong!” it’s not much of a debate.==

Where do I say, “nuh-uh you’re wrong!”

==Please no one take anything I said personally. Except Mr. Incredible.==

Libs are all about going personal.

I’m not writing a dissertation. I’m not tryin’ to impress a college professor for a grade. I’m not asking for a show of hands before I write. I be not runnin’ for public office.
