Good will to all men? Not from the grumpy atheists! (Thank God not all atheists are grumpy but there sure seems to be a lot of them)
Why is it that so many in the atheist community cannot bring themselves to get past their anger whenever they engage in discussions? The language of many of their contributions in public debate is laced with invective and dripping with sarcasm and bile. There are exceptions of course, but they tend to fall more into the category of being the 'exception that proves the rule' when compared to the hostility of many of today's atheist posters. Comment offered by the theists in the public square is often depicted as being 'malicious' or 'venomous' and intended to enslave the 'feeble minded and weak' by those who post. Nothing could be further from the truth. Venom is something that is oriented to death. Christians are oriented in a 180 degree different direction. We speak not to the culture of death that grips our world but rather for the culture of life and light which ends with the gift of eternal life. For example, the Catholic Church in its hum...
Not really a mystery Father. Not all women want children. Some put career before family. For others the reasons are fiscal. There are women who don't trust their men to practice birth control, and they have more peace of mind being in control of contraception themselves.

ReplyDeleteI'm taking advantage of what seems to be a cease-fire against my computer by the platform on which your blog is published. So far, so good! ;D
Lady Janus: I hope that your computer and Blogger remain at peace with each other. I've missed your wisdom and humor!

The benefits of taking 'the pill' outweigh the risks of not taking it. That is why sexually active teenagers and women of child bearing years take birth control pills.

Almost every woman I know has taken birth control pills sometime in their lives, but I personally have never met a woman who had blood clots as a result of taking them. Even with its faults, birth control pills are one of medical science's greatest inventions!
ReplyDeleteTim, whatever your blogger platform has against my computer, it seems to be an on-again-off-again thing. Earlier today, I couldn't get in. It's now midnight, and it's fine.
ReplyDeleteI guess we'll take it as it comes. Kinda like life, eh?
And I agree with the anonymous commenter.
If I don't get a chance to tell you again, I hope you have a most wonderful Christmas!
