    Life

    In the Bible, a book meant to be the word of God, condemns such things as murder, adultery and theft. I find it hard to believe that an all-powerful, all-knowing, infinitely-good being that "created" this world and everything in it would allow any of these things to occur. He would not only condemn them in an ancient book, but abolish them altogether along with any other things evil. If God is supposed to be the

  • Pro-Life Abortion

    Pro-Life Abortion

    Abortion is an extremely controversial issue and one that many people can have very strong feelings for on both sides of the debate.
