Schley, where's that zombie fiction? Do we get to read it?

Have often thought churches should forfeit the tax-exempt thing in order to gain their freedom of speech.

More photos, please. Even though it's horrible, sometimes people need to see these images to understand what abortion is. 

The mass is not part and parcel of the woman's body. The mass is a completely separate person, with its own DNA and fingerprints. It is housed inside a woman's body. 

The heart starts beating at 21 days gestation. 

Have a feeling if it happens it may have to do with sex scandals. 

 @ Chris Campion: Someone pays for everything, everywhere, at all times - it's just a question of who, how, and why.

Well said. 

Thanks for the roundup, Richard. 

Well said. 

Nice work. 

I like this, and I agree with it. My main point is that whether a person abuses a teenager or forgets to send his grandma a card or lusts after a woman in his heart, we are all fallible and only God is good. 

No amount of education can make a person good. 

I'm also not saying there's no common grace; a person might be an elegant dancer or give up his seat for a pregnant lady. But we're fallen in our nature and that's why we have kidnappings in the first place. 

Btw I didn't mean ideology is to blame here; the perpetrators are to blame. I was just using this man's actions as an example to show that people are not basically good. 

And I wasn't saying that all y'all, the gentle readers of Ricochet, are fixing to kidnap somebody. 

I've noticed that some grownups expect others to make a big deal out of their birthday and it seems selfish and immature. Our culture of emphasizing birthdays, starting with children, just seems to feed our selfishness and helps create the idea that "it's all about me." 

My third graders often want to tell me about their birthday and sometimes I want to say, "What about your mom's birthday? Do you even know when that is? She's the one that's looked after you and cared for you all this time. You should be honoring her, not the other way around."

Olive's discourse start to sound like "You kids get off my lawn" in 3..2...1

LOL x10 Thanks for posting

Yaaay!

Or to put it another way, they believe people are generally stupid. Hence, we need to be educated with government messages like, "Drugs are bad," "Bullying is bad," etc. 

I'm not saying all sins are at the same level. What I mean is that though one may be a blade of grass and the other a tree, the two heights are irrelevant when compared to the distance to the moon. If the distance to the moon symbolizes the goodness of God, we all fall short.
