Freakn' Christians!

Congrats your 1 in 20 billion teen that can control natural urges to have sex. The bigger reality is most teens are not equiped with a mature fully working brain to make smart decisions. So, there are mistakes that does happen. You can even slip up in your adult years. You must be finding some way to be fighting those urges.

I'm worried now about all the jerk off killings....:-)

Name calling is not a valid form of argument. You can be antiabortion without God entering into it.This is one of the toughest arguments ever.Still not sure where I stand even at fortyfive.I do know that reasoned argument will win over nonsense.This needs to be thought over with compassion towards all.

The whole concept of abortion saddens me. Poor little one. How can it not be murder? I agree that we need to tend to those that are already born ,but so too must we tend to those yet born. If you are an Athiest, how can you support abortion? You would be denying that person their one shot at life. If you believe in God, how can you support abortion, thus condemning an innocent to brutal, savage dismemberment. God rest their little souls.

For a young man your priorities and questioning are awesome.Much good luck and success to you.Your parents must be very proud.

i agree with you completely, people need to focus on more important things like child abuse focus on the kids who are already in the world and need help, what about them, for once, can people focus on what really matters and can have positive effects for living beings not what a woman chooses to do with her own body???

"And why is it that we value unborn human life so highly and yet we treat the rest of the creatures in this world with such disregard."



You summed it up, right there.

Given that kids, christian or not, are getting pregnant, it's obvious that abstinance is no more than wishful thinking and is not at all effective in practice.

If I ever get pregnant I will not bring the child into this world. I will be getting an abortion.

Yeah, I figured as much. I've been reading the bible lately and it certaintly doesn't seem like the kind of thing you should take literally, the little leasons are fine I suppose but to treat it like an all perpose enclyclopedia on everything, that's just silly.

First they called negros human

now they say every single fetus is too

If christians don't want to participate in evolution

they don't have too

But overpopulation is going to destroy us all

Cowboy, abstinence is a proven failure as a policy. I know that's hard for you to admit since abstinence has worked for you so far, but trust me, you are the exception and not the rule. Most boys and girls your age (and well before your age) will not suppress their sexual instincts (which are completely natural during puberty)... and so when we're faced with that reality we must figure out what is the best way to deal with it? Religion tries to prevent teenage sex by instilling guilt and shame into sexual acts, and only allowing certain sexual acts WITHIN marriage. To do them when you are unmarried is to cheat on your future spouse. Even with this tremendous guilt and with all the power of love for Christ and even with virginity pledges and all the rest.... young christian teenagers still have sex at the same rates as any other group. The difference is that when young Christians have sex, they do it without birth control and without comprehensive sex ed, since those are the policies that good Christian Republicans support.



Look no further than Bristol Palin. Abstinence only sex ed and no birth control worked out great for her, huh?





It's all so very sad.

Well, can you at least concede that it Should matter which trimester the woman is in?



Because I am extremely against partial-birth abortions!

Well, if teens didn't have sex in the first place, we wouldn't need abortions. Contraceptives usually prevent pregnancy, but things can go wrong and accidents can happen. But abstinence is a 100% foolproof form of birth control.

Although I'm cautious about abortion, I don't believe first term abortions are in any way wrong. Science seems to support that proposition. If I were a believer, I would rely on science for my facts and a broader interpretation of scripture for my faith. It's only been in modern times that scripture has been taken literally. Historically, scripture was always meant to be taken metaphorically, and the various puzzles, contradictions, and seemingly out of place stories and concepts in the Bible were meant to force one to find deeper meaning, a deeper faith. However, the so many Christians, Jews, and Muslims choose to narrowly interpret their religious texts today is not surprising, religion being mostly about ego anyway. That we invent God in our own image is idolatry and has no relationship to what God actually is. Since I'm not a believer, it's all rather moot to me, except for the damage some believers cause.

That's precisely it. They want to protect the unborn in the womb when it's not a viable human being but afterward, they scream because the mom gets a stinking $100 bucks for food stamps and becomes a "Welfare Queen." They are a hypocritical, pathetic bunch. Abstinence - true love waits, no condoms and they expect it to work for 15 and 16 year old quivering harmonal teens. Sheesh.

And why is it that we value unborn human life so highly and yet we treat the rest of the creatures in this world with such disregard.

If early term abortions are murder, than why don't we charge mothers who have early miscarriages with involuntary manslaughter?

1. I completely agree with you

2. Be careful, you could go blind ;)



Good story, Issac, lol

But the potential to fertalize was there.



WynHaven, I know it's not just christians who are against abortion. I just saw this horrible documentary and it got me all worked up.

Ya, but the ***** from you ******* off hasn't fertilized anything, so it's not the same thing.

I like that ******* off analogy.
