@y0urhaunt3dgf The thing I always keep in mind is that…if I am so self-aware, I’d able to fix myself. It is clearly not true by any evidence. So the goal is to set aside the ego and realize no matter how aware of your self you are, it isn’t changing anything. And you can start there.
@LizzieMarbach Well, that is very wrong, but conservatives do not conserve anything anyway. What once was meant to conserve classical liberal ideas of individual rights, liberty, autonomy, and small government has been bastardized by evangelical heretics who confuse their religion with politics
@hufflepuff_owl@PastorCaleb@maklelan@ianharber No. It is mute. It actually gives instructions on how to abort under a certain circumstance. It does not admonish the practice of it. You take verses you want to apply to your beliefs and use it to justify them. As all Christians do and have done.
@PastorCaleb@maklelan@ianharber Really, the point is that The Bible is mute on abortion outside of how to end a pregnancy and the cost of losing the property (fetus). It really just suggests that early Christians, like all Christians, are negotiating with the text to make it say what they need or want.
