Barker’s blurb regarding true love is a nice sentiment, but love, compassion and the golden rule only make sense in a Christian world view. We are all made in God’s image, and thus should treat one another with respect and dignity.

If people as you say should not interfere with what people do with their bodies, why then is it ok for abortionists to dispose of the bodies of millions of preborn babies?

I’ve never met your teachers. They may have been long dead. They belong to a different generation, a bygone era. As Roman Catholics, they probably used the apologetics of a Thomas Aquinas. I am not a Catholic. So how could I have imitated them? I fear God with delight as a child fears his loving father.

They were the ones who taught me to believe in a lot of spiritual garbage via living a life of fear - fear of God, fear of the unknown, and how to dear death. What a lot of crappy fear!

But they also believe in the sanctity of life and they want to serve God this side of heaven as long as they can. It's ironic that those who believe that this is all there is to life, that there is no afterlife, are the ones who tend to hasten death. Abortionists, advocates of euthanasia, Communist tyrants, etc. Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02532354368387185013noreply@blogger.com
