<DIV>Nick,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'd be interested in looking at a copy of this slavery booklet you
mention. My familiarity with Mr. Wilson is limited to the outstanding job
he did some years back as the Lewiston Trib's token conservative
editorialist.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Nick, I am as troubled by much of what the Bible says as are you. The
unaltered word of God? How the Hell can we know? Gotta' figure ol'
King James had his agendas...... Know one can "know" there is a God.
Nor can anyone "know" there is NO God. Only choose to have faith or
not. As a guy who hears on Sunday how the whole shebang was created 7
thousand years ago, then enjoys a book on the C.T. mass extinction, I don't know
what the Hell to believe. So you will have to consult someone else with
regard to fallen sparrows and spontaneously aborted humans.......</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Racism, sexism and abortion...... An ovum a baby? All that an
ovum will develop into if left unmolested is encoded at birth. If it is
NOT HUMAN, why this fascinatingly complex set of directions for assembly?
I don't approach questions of the uniquely human soul from a religious
angle. As said before, we'll eventually find out what it is. What
may the ramifications be with regard to the millions of lives ended at our
hands? To say that the conceptus has none of the qualities that make us
human is to ignore that such qualities include and require this set of
instructions. Is not our human DNA a "quality that makes us human"?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Before we could enslave blacks we had to dehumanize them. They were
viewed as less than human. So too our enemies in war. So too the
aboriginal people we conquered in the 19th century. Now we must dehumanize
the unborn in order to rationalize our killing of them. Ovum,
blastocyst, lump of tissue.....</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Baby.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>100 years from now we will view those who supported abortion with the
same disregard as we feel for those who supported slavery in 1860.</DIV>
