<div>What a cruel way to try to make a point. I know many people who do
not believe in abortion who would never, ever stoop to this coercive
behavior. If people in the Freeze Church choose this message as a way to
make their point, shame on them. It certainly explains a lot about their
lack of compassion for those who might disagree. </div>

watched the video. Make no mistake, Paul-this video does not explain their

scripture. It is strictly an anti-abortion video.<br><br>

living high on the hog, so I wouldn't classify them with the multimillion
dollar televangelists. They look more like a bunch of regular Joes that
presumably truly believe what they are saying, and they care strongly enough
about it to scrape enough together to mass-mail DVD's explaining their
beliefs. I don't find that so onerous, and it can even be seen as a
caring gesture if you look at it from that perspective. <br><br>That
being said, their beliefs are so dissimilar to my own beliefs that it's like
we are on two different planets trying to communicate without knowing the
others language. My own beliefs don't require evangelization, and I
often wish that other religions didn't require it, either. Nevertheless,
I accept their evangelism in the same way that I accept my friends rantings
about the evils of Apple or my other friends in-depth descriptions of the
design and construction of bee hive boxes: resignedly. Presumably that's
how my friends accept my constant discussion of various at-home programming
projects I'm working on or my rantings about climate science.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Paul<br></font></div></div></div></div><br>=======================================================<br>List
