[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe that it is just now people are figuring out politicians are opportunists and not to be trusted and politics is the ultimate blood-sport.  I hate it too but it’s entirely to be expected.[/quote]

This is the Republican world view. Our Founding Fathers had a different world view- that politicians were opportunists but that ambition would check ambition through the balance of power implemented in three branches of government. [/quote]

This is the Democratic world view. You think you are pure and honorable, that the other side is corrupt and evil. But the truth is, we are just two peas in a pod. You are not the angels you think you are and Republicans are not the devils you caricature us as.[/quote]

Again, I'm not a Democrat or a Republican. I'm a Christian. Christians keep their word. McConnell needs to keep his. [/quote]

Oh please, you Christians can't even agree on the content of the Bible, stop holding your religious beliefs up as if it gives you some moral authority. It does not. Your morals are as relative as the rest of us, you just don't realize it because your thought leader told you that you are special.[/quote]

Correct. The Bible condones the killing of babies and children- fetuses and all.

Scriptural truths

Ten biblical episodes and prophecies provide an unequivocal expression of God's attitude toward human life, especially the ontological status of "unborn children" and their pregnant mothers-to-be. Brief summaries:

• A pregnant woman who is injured and aborts the fetus warrants financial compensation only (to her husband), suggesting that the fetus is property, not a person (Exodus 21:22-25).

• The gruesome priestly purity test to which a wife accused of adultery must submit will cause her to abort the fetus if she is guilty, indicating that the fetus does not possess a right to life (Numbers 5:11-31).

• God enumerated his punishments for disobedience, including "cursed shall be the fruit of your womb" and "you will eat the fruit of your womb," directly contradicting sanctity-of-life claims (Deuteronomy 28:18,53).

• Elisha's prophecy for soon-to-be King Hazael said he would attack the Israelites, burn their cities, crush the heads of their babies and rip open their pregnant women (2 Kings 8:12).

• King Menahem of Israel destroyed Tiphsah (also called Tappuah) and the surrounding towns, killing all residents and ripping open pregnant women with the sword (2 Kings 15:16).

• Isaiah prophesied doom for Babylon, including the murder of unborn children: "They will have no pity on the fruit of the womb" (Isaiah 13:18).

• For worshiping idols, God declared that not one of his people would live, not a man, woman or child (not even babies in arms), again confuting assertions about the sanctity of life (Jeremiah 44:7-8).

• God will punish the Israelites by destroying their unborn children, who will die at birth, or perish in the womb, or never even be conceived (Hosea 9:10-16).

• For rebelling against God, Samaria's people will be killed, their babies will be dashed to death against the ground, and their pregnant women will be ripped open with a sword (Hosea 13:16).

• Jesus did not express any special concern for unborn children during the anticipated end times: "Woe to pregnant women and those who are nursing" (Matthew 24:19).[/quote]
