Every now and then the pillars of liberty and freedom must be washed with the blood of saints and patriots!!! I say this because no longer will I stand on the sidelines and continue letting my country be bastardized by this tyrannical march Washington is on. People, Church, we must stand up for what we know to be right; to do otherwise by living in ignorance is nothing more than cowardice! We know our history, furthermore we know without a doubt what our founding fathers intended our country to be! I can no longer stand by as my country, our inheritance, and gift from God is destroyed! There will always be a march towards tyranny and we are headed that way faster than people can realize. For the most part Americans are completely unaware of what is going on, or sadly don't care! Realize the importance of the inheritance you have been given. We are heirs to the thrones our founding fathers have left us. We have a duty not only to our founders but, to the future generations of this county; to uphold Honor! Are we Honoring our forefathers by doing nothing and giving away our rightful place as the leaders and owners of our country? Or are we desecrating what they fought and died for by being dishonorable, by letting freedom die and tyranny reign?! What happened to a time when Honor was worth dying for? So what are you; Honorable or a coward, what will you stand for, tyranny or Freedom, and can you recognize the difference?
"there are a couple of partial quotes in here, just though I would let you know...although most of you probably do know!..lol!
an extreme example?!?!?! you've got to be kidding me!!! Political Lies' example may have been extreme but true in context with your analogy of belief. You can not decide to apply principles to one aspect of life and then not apply it to another because you can't defend your stance or give an argument refuting what was said! And in the future do not make a rhetorical comment and then misdirect the conversation off of you because your inept at your own conversation!
If consciousness equals life then we can not protect, trees or any other plants! If you want to use Consciousness as your argument for being pro-choice that's fine but know that it is an empty argument that will not hold water. Besides this we have a definition problem; in order to believe in the pro-choice stance life must be something less than sacred, it must be an empty shell, have no purpose, or reason. I know life is sacred, full of purpose, and absolutely amazing!
On top of all this, there can be only one right answer. There must be a clear and concise definition of truth. Truth is absolute; according to a law in statistics if any one truth is found to be absolute than all other truths must therefore be inherently absolute; in other words in order for anything to be given the stamp of "truth" it must be absolute otherwise it is not truth! You can argue with this all you want but if you are going to use Science to prove your point understand that in science in order for something to be considered fact it must be absolute!
