Like Boothby said, I try not to put much stock into feelings. Sometimes I just know in my heart that Jehovah's Witnesses are wrong because of a feeling I get. I remember the words at Jeremiah 17:9, which says, "The heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate. Who can know it?&...

The Didache made the shortlist when the New Testament canon was being formalised.

The difference is that the four month old fetus is entirely dependent on the mother, and if she is not willing to keep it to term (for whatever reason), no one else can assume the responsibility.

Lyons, I think the difference they're getting at is that is that a fetus (before it is viable) cannot survive without the mother (the "host," if you will), whereas a child (or viable fetus) can physically survive without the mother's womb, even if they need support from machines or other ...

I am not being mean or sarcastic or rude but I personally feel that saying "a woman's right to choose" is just putting a nice label on something gruesome. Make it sound all nice, pretty, and important and it becomes okay. Women have the right to choose in many, many instances. They can ch...

No, actually, the pro-choice argument does NOT rest on the assumption that it isn't "life." The pro-choice argument rests on the woman's right to choose. It's pro-choice, not pro-abortion. I am not being mean or sarcastic or rude but I personally feel that saying "a woman's right to ...

The entire Bean plot (smarter then Ender, quicker then Ender, and protector of Ender) is not canon. Therefore there is no reason to discuss it. Whenever something of this sort is mentioned I treat it as if it is a Gnostic gospel or something. Further, Bean's plot marrying Petra and having the geneti...
