I will have to let Bootcamp answer that question, I don't want to put words in his mouth. But I understood it to mean that people who don't want Christian morals in their lives, might be the first to blame GOD for disaster that my befall them.
Excellent insight. That's exactly where I was going.

We need abortion, I have assissted in many when I did my OB-GYN training. I would do 5 of them then go to lunch w/out a second thought. The gov't and the church needs to stay out a females p***Y. Only one thing needs to go in womens fun parts ME.
As far as homo's my sister and good friend are both g@y.
They were not given a choice , believe it is by birth.
YOUR God or what ever you call it made them that way.
And for gods sake
leave our porn alone. I have been married for 17 yrs
I need that sh*t.
I'll try to keep this reply respectful. Discussions such as this decay into insults without a show of respect.
Let's seperate "needs" and "wants". "Needs" can't be lived without. You "need" sustinence, shelter, access to medical treatment, and companionship. All other things are "wants". You "want" abortion and pornography like you "want" a new Challenger. You "need" none of them. Since we're taking a "clinical" approach, I'll try to keep my reply in the same way.
The "want" to have access to
abortions is a reaction to inaction (most of the time). This can be eliminated by responsible use of birth control devices, and the ability to decide to NOT have unprotected sex. The only way I can justify abortion (
in MY mind) is as a result to a life-threatening situation for the mother-to-be, or to a pregnancy resulting from a rape. Other than that, there are thousands of couples who go to great lengths to have children they would love, nuture and cherish as the gift that they are, and I'm sure would thankfully take these terminated lives from those who look upon them as an inconvenience or annoyance that should be treated like fecal matter. There are too many other economical and practical (less invasive) options available to prevent unwanted pregnancies to claim that abortion is a viable alternative or a "need".
Your brain is the largest sex organ in your body.
Pornography is a convenient and innocuous way to cheat on your partner, thereby creating diversity and excitement in a routine (albeit desired and necessary) behavior. You view it prior to coitus and your brain manipulates your level of intimacy based on that. You (in your own mind) maintain your vow of faithfulness to your partner since they're physically "there", but your brain has something entirely different going on. The "diversity" that we need emotionally can sometimes be found by changes in your
routine - performing the act in different places, at different times of the day, initiated in different ways, dressing up for each other, etc. Pornography is a crutch for a lack of imagination, creativity and motivation. While reproduction is primordial and the basis to ALL life forms, we're the only species that creates and uses pornography.
Homosexuality is a touchy subject since it's been "fashionable" on and off throughout history, and the arguments tend to be stronger and weaker depending on the prevailing "trends". While some research has shown physiological/chemical differences between straight and gay people, the fact remains that the process of reproduction (again, which is the basis behind our sexuality) is IMPOSSIBLE between homosexual partners, therefore considered "deviant behavior". Whether or not being gay is psychological or physiological is still debatable. If nature is left to run it's course, the purporte
