'For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you that I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be' (Psalm 139:13-16 NIV)

He talked extensively about Church and State and is clearly against law derived from religion. For example on evolution vs creationism he said that religion and science answer different questions; that science answers what happens and religion answers what matters. Specifically to abortion he claims that the Bible defines life as beginning at birth, not conception. He said that anyone familiar with Biblical law can find this in Exodus chapter 22. Apparently in there you can find that the penalty for for murder is death; that the penalty for manslaughter is exile; and that the penalty for the death of a fetus is a fine. He goes on to say that nowhere in the Bible is one allowed to buy their way out of murder. Therefore his point is that if one looks to the Bible for an answer to abortion, the Bible defines life as beginning at birth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:177231 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
