[quote who="JcRabbit" reply="687" id="3042207"]I'm puzzled every time someone brings stuff like this (and the abuse of children by priests, for instance) in an effort to put religion into a bad light, as if religion by itself is actually some kind of evil thing. Scientists also created the Zyklon-B gas that was later used to put 6 million Jews to death in the Holocaust. Does this mean science is evil?[/quote] Scientists don't function as the mouth piece of God. Scientist

[quote who="lulapilgrim" reply="651" id="3041712"]First, Christians are anti-abortion for Biblical reasons because abortion kills the innocent unborn babe in the womb every time which is against the Commandment of Almighty God, "Thou shalt not kill." Abortion is medical terrorism that calls to Heaven for vengeance. [/quote] SHIT!!! YOU WE'RE RIGHT ALL ALONG.

Your graphics are beautiful, but there are some issues with your start menu. You need to go into the extra settings tab and put in the height of your graphics because it's not stretching correctly. This is what it looks like right now: Also, I personally would choose a different font color for the taskbar buttons font, and I would choose different colors

I, k10w3 (Karen), say the decision to abort is NEVER a whim. The cost of the procedure alone necessitates that the parents put some thought into the procedure. Actually, even BEFORE seeking out providers or approaching the idea of aborting, the very idea of the possibility of being pregna

I wonder how this is going to impact the, at least, 1/3 of the doctors that I transcribe for -- they dictate from their cars on their cell phones.
