Rats! I forgot the stupid cheese!

Oh yeah, totally.

Caveat: I am not brilliant with the fan art thing!

I'm totally stealing it. I even drew "stupid lasagna" fan art. But then I came over all shy, and didn't post it.

"Stupid lasagna" is a perfect term.

Ok, I was squashing Protestants and fundamentalists together, I think. I had a very weird discussion with a born-again family member where she talked about taking the Bible literally, and then when questioned about certain aspects, would disavow them as either "old covenant," or interpret them in a way that made no…

this seems pretty consistent for Catholics .... But wouldn't Protestants have a differing view?

I'm also always surprised how easily many Christians discount the Old Testament. "Oh, that's the OLD Covenant."

Gimme a fist bump, fellow history-lover.

Let's start bringing that up.

... isn't that what Protestantism was all about? People should have a direct connection to scripture, and not have to rely upon a clergy for the the word of God? JOHN WYCLIFFE IS ROLLING IN HIS GRAVE.

I'm an atheist, and I'VE read it. C'mon, folks!

If you want to see various bits of scripture that reinforce the "life begins at breath" thing, look here.

I don't understand where people get the idea that life begins with conception. Even in the Bible, life begins with breath. First breath is the start of life; last breath is the end of life. The Bible even describes an abortion ritual (Numbers 5:11-31), and abortion caused outside that ritual is considered a crime…

Mine too, actually!

Could life be about dead rubber ducks?

Wouldn't we all?
