RE: new abortion quiz

"And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying
and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money
changers and the seats of those who were selling doves." Matt. 21:12.

I wonder how Dave characterizes Christ's behavior----obsessed,
irrational!

Moorad,
I cannot go along with your Al-Zarkawi approach--sawing off heads for TV
or showing something equally nauseous to most people. Effective? Yes,
much as holding a gun to a man's head will get him to do anything the
gunman commands. Is effectiveness the crucial test, as your claim
implies? Your approach also fits the notion that a good end justifies
any
means to it. You have clearly denigrated reason, though this is the
basis
of most of what goes on on the list--excluding you, of course. You are
so
obsessed over abortion that anyone who does not agree with you is a
murderer with a "wretched mind." This is ranting, not thinking. Since
you
have decided that rational discussion is merely an irrelevant game,
there
is no basis for further communication. Continue with your obdurate
dogmatism, but do not expect a response from me.
Dave
