Re: Misconceptions
This is an interesting topic to me because it reminds of the time I celebrated my 15th conception day. The festivities were so wonderful, I wish you all could have been there. We played pin the sperm in the egg (I TOTALLY missed!) and had a really big conception day cake.
The thing is, the celebrations and games were so much fun that I got so excited and accidentally killed a bunch of my sperm cells. I was embarassed, of course, and my mom and dad were LIVID! I had to endure another stupid lecture wherein they told me that my sperm, while not developed, were essentially human. They asked me if I would kill a 2 year old because it wasn't an adult. I replied, no, no, of course not. They asked me then how I could kill something that would be human someday given the right circumstances and enough time to grow. I didn't have an answer except to ask why so many sperm had to die during normal intercourse (I read about that in a book I wasn't supposed to read!). My dad got all red in the face and told me to go to my room and think about it.
That night, I killed more sperm cells in my sleep. It's hard for me to tell this to all of you, but it's true.

Re: killing sperm is heresy!
wow, i'm glad my parents never caught me masturbating! that must have been awkward.
no no, you misunderstand, it was just such a fun time! I didn't mean to. But you know, I'm still responsible, since those things that could be human were under my care.
And yeah, that's the conception day song we sang!

Re: Liberals/leftists are against freedom
Listen, if this country had always been secular and pagan no Christian would make a fuss. We'd simply expect to be thrown to the lions, which is how the depaganization of the world got started 2000 years ago. I guess we could start all over. Being eaten by a lion is a fine fate for a Christian
First of all: there is a big difference between a secular government and a pagan government. One of the biggest differences I see is that a pagan government is MUCH more likely to throw you to the lions for being a christian than a secular government. The reason being: a pagan government is a RELIGIOUS government. And since most (if not all) religions espouse their way is the ONLY truth, it immediately casts those believing in other religions as "the other". And we all know what happens once a group of people is classified as "the other"...
Secondly: I believe that being eaten by a lion is not a fine fate for anyone. There's something about it that impedes their hopes and dreams for their life. It's the killing that does it, I think, but that's just a theory.

Re: Liberals/leftists are against freedom
If secularism doesn't stay secularism then it is no longer secularism and so your problem should not be with secularism.
But it's all a fine fate for a Christian. Life or death, Christians are happy. It's interesting here, it's glorious There.
So why do you care about abortion?
