Re: Enforced abortion/euthanasia

As far as euthanasia is concerned, it isn't when "someone becomes worthless", it is when someone's [quality of] life becomes worthless. If you have never watched a loved one die a slow, horrible death from a terminal illness (in my mother's case, metastasized colon cancer), believe me it c...

Re: Less than 24 hour days??

Hebrews thought of a day from sunset to sunset and by that definition there could conceivably only be 2 exact 24 hour days a year as seasonal change differences of about 4 minutes a day occured as a normal matter of course. All days are exactly the same length "from sunset to sunset". Fro...

Re: Help with Bible origin

I would ask the atheists for their evidence. Their evidence??? They want evidence that God exists. Asking them for evidence God doesn't exist is invariably countered with requests for evidence that Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, purple unicorns, [insert mythical being of choice] doesn't exist.
