Abortion on demand? Does lying for Jesus make it no longer a sin?

Many liberals/democrats, if not most oppose abortion. Pro-Choice is not pro-abortion. It means not forcing one's views on other people, even if they disagree with it.

I hope you don't actually try to pawn yourself off as Christian.

Does holding an opposing view to the one prescribed by the liberal PC thought police place one in league with Phelps?

How is that implication not propaganda on your part?
If one's views are as nasty as those you present on this board, yes, I'd place them squarely in league with Phelps.

Said in the voice of SNL's church lady:

"Gee, I wonder where she ever got that idea? Could it be..THE BIBLE!"

Notice how 'the bible' replaces 'satan'. Yeah, I went there. She's an insane bat who forms her opinions based upon ancient mythological texts written by superstitious people. What's more harmful, homosexuality or superstitious politicians who wish to make public policy based on mythologies?

The word homosexuality did not even exist until the 1800's. Sodomy was the term used to define the act; however, there were no terms used to describe what is commonly referred to today as Homosexuals. The closest equivalent would be sodomites, which need I say, most americans are guilty of.

Jefferson was quite liberal as the common punishment for sodomy during this time was death.

History lesson done for today. Carry on.
Jefferson defined sodomy as man to man. So much for your history lesson.

So do you still want to assert everything one of our best asserts is right?

If you haven't figured it out smart people are free to say ignorant and uninformed things... look in the forum it happens regularly.
There is no direct evidence Jefferson had sexual relationships with a negro slave.

This is a myth.

It is a fact Homosexuality is harmful to society. It is a scourge that needs to be wiped out before more innocent children are destroyed.

Lawmakers in the past called for homosexuals to be burnt...seems pretty harsh to some. Guess they were tired of the unbridled licentiousness.

All the DNA tests show is that a male Jefferson fathered some of her children. There were other Jefferson males other than Thomas and they were present at Monticello at the right times.
