on the fateful day of 12/20/02 4:04 PM, in a dazzling display of literary acumen, Charles Martin at chasm at mac.com altered the course of history by digitally penning the words: > And a majority of us (contrary to Sen. Lott's > perception) don't want to see women's right to abortion taken away Right. I just want every human being's right to life restored, born or unborn. For my views on Abortion Rights, <http://lcmspastor.com/pastordale.html>. There's a link there to "Abortion Rights and Who's Left": a paper I wrote @ seminary. I welcome off-list comments on that. Oh, and for the record, while I may be a rural Iowa pastor now, I've lived in Madison, WI for most of my life, including college, so I know the entire range of political ideologies. My roommate was gay, and my best friend in college, who's still very close, is a neo-pagan bisexual. Come to think of it, more than half of my friends in high school & college were either gay or some minority, and very few were Christian. I haven't lived a stereotypical Iowa sheltered life (And believe me, in the year+ I've lived here, I've learned that stereotypes are very inaccurate.), so please, don't judge me by my residence or vocation. (Not saying you were, Charles, or anyone else.) Okay, enough. Stick a fork in me. I've said my piece & I'm done. I welcome off-list comments from anyone, but I'm ready for the list to get back on topic. -- | Bought with a Price, -+- Dale | Mac Stuff & cure for death: http://www.InfinityLtd.org |4U Jesus took your place so you could go to His place.
