Planned Parenthood and the term "slippery slope" .
maadmax replied to rushmc's topic in Speakers Corner
Societies and governments can decree and legalize what every they want. That doesn't automatically make it right. Why is so difficult to call abortion what it is , infanticide. Whether it is legal or not is another issue. To say that a embryo is part of a woman's body like some sort of neoplastic growth or that it is not a biologically self contained human life form is blind and purposefully naive. ... -

Another "moral failure" from organized religion
maadmax replied to kallend's topic in Speakers Corner
Nice one, you are speaking a language they will never understand. ... -
Other that presenting guidelines for the family, I am pretty sure that specific topic was not mentioned. ...

I know the game, talking around each other guarantees nothing meaningful will ever be discussed. I have nothing to say or any defense to offer for religious people or their convictions. The function of the human spirit has little to do with religion. ...

True, if viewed through a worldly view point. But if viewed though faith empowered by the Spirit of God , disappointment paradoxically becomes blessing. Peace that passes understanding becomes a reality. ...

Not sure what point you are trying to make, but God's Love is not predicated on one persons success or failure in manifesting it. People will always disappoint you, God never. ...

So you live in a vacuum, and your actions have no consequences, Now that is Ironic. ...

Indeed, there is an " Irony Score" that awaits us all.

Nothing earth shaking here. The Bible is pretty clear that suffering and death is to be expected. The Good News is that through Christ we have an eternal hope and the joy of knowing God along the way. ...

He was a legend, sold me my first rig. His passing leaves a void.

That is a funny joke. But I bet in 20 years driverless technology will be a standard feature and save the rest of people in your car. I am sure they will still be screaming because they will be sad to see you go.

Seems like a moot point. Life is a continual risk that we are destined to loose. None of us get out of here alive. Confidence in God does provide a sense of security for what comes next.

When I discarded Christianity this was a fundamental problem I had with the religion -- reducing "actions" to "acts" and discounting the importance of what one does, instead placing all importance on "faith" and a few trivial words of "accepting him as my Lord and Savior." Actions are what define us; the rest -- "intention," "faith," "what's in one's heart," "being born again" yada yada...is all bullshit. We define who we are by what we do -- full stop. Exactly, you haven't discarded all of Christianity. It sounds to me like you are quoting James 2:26 "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." ...

+1 You bet-ya "For we are ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God while we try to establish our own, and we have not submitted to God's means to attain righteousness." "All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away." ...

Amen!!! "Now this corruption shall put on incorruption, and this mortal shall put on immortality ... " ...

Good try, but your scholarly criticism of the Bible fails miserably. The Bible as written is a mystery to most. So what. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit its illumination is a wonder to behold. Sorry you have missed the boat. What is really fascinating is why you all give such a shit? There is no way I would waste my time on something I thought held no value. ...

The one thing they knew that any one who is spiritually self aware knows, is that we came from something and we will be changed into something else. If you are content with "from oblivion to oblivion" then you have sold yourself short and missed out on why you are here. Look at our history, we have sought for the purpose and meaning of our self consciousness through out the ages. For some who have found God know the answer. ...
