    Should drag shows be used as a teaching tool in schools?

    I'm unwilling to dignify the delusion of gender theory to begin with by pretending to have a serious discussion about it; I just mentioned it and my opposition to it in order to give reason to my answer of 'no'. Additionally, as they say, one should never argue with a fool, lest the fool bring...

    Should drag shows be used as a teaching tool in schools?

    Gender theory is abominable. A definite 'no' from me.

    "Six Reasons Young Christians Leave Church"

    Please elaborate.

    Features of Totalitarianism Poll

    Voted for all options. "All of the above." Granted that the party/state government is clericalist in nature, of course.

    Post Christian music

    Limited to 5 elements of media per post. Apologies. Chant: I have always loved the Eastern Orthodox musical styles - the Cherubic Hymn in Russian is marvellous.

    Post Christian music

    I'm unsure as to exactly what we're after here, but there seems to be a little bit of everything so far. Allow me to post my very favourites (sorted by genre): Metal: Hymn:

    Is abortion homicide?

    Nobody ought to consider this as a desire to instigate further discussion about abortion on my part, but I feel I can answer this common (and mediocre) objection. The verse relevant to the notion of repentance in conjunction with baptism (in reference to which you've said "the Bible says one...

    Is abortion homicide?

    Please yourself with however you want to view our perspective on suffering, which you will encounter just as much as we, regardless of how much you hate suffering itself. I'm not here to convert you. I'm about done with this thread, I think -- it has taken up far too much of my time this...

    Is abortion homicide?

    And? That's not a good thing. If the angels could envy (they can't -- envy is a sin), then one of the things they would envy us for is our ability to undergo suffering.

    Is abortion homicide?

    I will make clear for the third time that even if your argument as to them being granted mercy through pre-emptive death in the face of inevitable sin (which is false, because it is in defiance of God's intentions for that person, deprives them of the opportunity of becoming a member of the Body...

    Is abortion homicide?

    Perhaps you could argue that, and I expect it has been argued before, but as I have said, the ends never justify the means; murder of the innocent -- abortion -- is never permissible, nor excuseable.

    Is abortion homicide?

    Abortion deprives them of mortal life, and the opportunity to cultivate their souls into Christian ones so as to merit. It does grave harm to them -- the point is that they are innocent. Can, yes, but we do not know for certain that he does, and so we should not operate on the assumption that...

    Is abortion homicide?

    Can't say. Probably. As I said before, we cannot know for sure that God confers supernatural baptism on the dead preborn, so we should not operate on the presumption that he does. Your 'argument' is an emotionally-charged fit.

    Is abortion homicide?

    Blatant slander. As I said:

    Is abortion homicide?

    They are unable to experience joy because they never experienced it, and therefore cannot suffer the pain of being without it.

    Is abortion homicide?

    No it isn't because heaven is a reward. In the case of the dead unborn, it is an unwarranted reward. Heaven is extraordinary; limbo is the norm. They are not being punished, but nor are they being rewarded.

    Is abortion homicide?

    Feminism is a plague -- I'm not going to dignify this argument of 'oh, that's anti-woman!!'. It is infantile. Just as the state ought to reserve the right to infringe on the sovereignty of parents who mistreat or harm their children in the home, so should the state reserve the right to...

    Is abortion homicide?

    No. The means are never justified by the ends. Abortion is never acceptable, and should never be permissible. You are attempting to dignify and absolute and certain moral wrong with an uncertain hypothetical - even if your notion of ends-justify-the-means held up (which it does not), you are not...

    Is abortion homicide?

    And it's a real pity that that sometimes happens. However, no woman should reserve the right to kill her own unborn child for any reason -- when the disruption of pregnancy becomes an inevitable element in surgical intervention to save the mother's life, whether as a result of the pregnancy or...
