Lenny, you act as though you are too damned stupid and too damned
brainwashed to know anything. The truth of the matter is that you are
afraid to discuss your views on abortion (situation ethics) and you
are afraid to discuss the slavery issue of the Bible. Therefore, you
keep harping on an issue that no matter what I say, you will take out of
context.
A while back you referred to atheists as cowards. Are you brave enough
to face the issues, Lenny?
