My View On Abortion

The issue of abortion is a complex one. Many people lump all Christians into the pro-life group, and secular liberals as being pro-choice. In my case, the stereotype couldn't be more wrong. I am pro-life in most circumstances, some of the examples where I would view an abortion as being acceptable are...

• Rape
• Incest
• Mental retardation
• Puts mothers life in jeopardy
• Mother is a drug addict (laws should be in place to require the mother to get 'fixed')
• Severe deformities

The above list is where I differ from many pro-lifers, they would want all of the above pregnancies to go through. But the listed examples are not the most common reasons for why women get abortions. I don't have any numbers in-front of me, but I have a strong feeling that the vast majority of abortions are caused by women that don't know how to use preventative measures and/or keep their legs closed. In these cases, I feel that abortions should not be permitted. Human life is something which I view as special (I would hope most would agree with this) -- having a complete disregard for human life and the beautiful process that allows it to continue is quite sickening to say the least. Commercials that dramatize the loss of potential life lost by abortions is often shrugged off by pro-lifers -- in reality however, if abortion was more limited, many people whose life was cut off in the womb would be alive today -- many of which would have lived enjoyable and productive lives.

Pro-choicers seem to think that women should have control over their bodies (which I agree with), however that is irrelevant here. For example, should a parent have the right to kill their child if they live in the same house? -- the only difference between the example and abortion is the location and age. When a women is pregnant the fetus is a separate organism, with a different set of DNA. As far as the idea of each fertilized egg as having a soul, that is impossible to know, and unlikely (e.g., can divide and make twins, can divide and reabsorb). But this doesn't remove the fact that a fertilized egg would grow into a human being, and killing it is essentially destroying that possibility, which is a form of murder (sounds a bit dramatic, but 'murder' is the only word that comes to mind). Pro-lifers are really 'pro-irresponsible behavior', if abortion in cases of 'irresponsible behavior' was banned, it may make women think twice about whether or not they should take preventative measures, knowing that they don't have abortion to fall back on. In my opinion abortions in these cases should not be legal, and perhaps make preventative measures even more available. There needs to be more respect for human life. The mentality behind those whom view abortion as acceptable in cases of 'irresponsible behavior' may cause problems down the road for society -- this mentality may pave the way for a dark future. There are consequences for everything, running away from your problems by destroying human life is immoral and cowardly.

Mirrors (Poem)

mirrors are boring

only reflecting

reflecting what already exists

adding nothing

this is what mirrors do best

and all they understand

the mirror is worthless

a waste of space

doing nothing but reflecting

mirrors take what they reflect for granted

for if it were only mirrors which existed

there would be nothing to reflect

Jesus Summoning Ritual

"For where two or three come together in my name, I am there with them." -Matthew 18:19-20

There you have it, the existence of Jesus (which is also God according to Christians) can be proven or disproven by this ritual. Now many will claim that this just proves whether or not this piece of scripture is true -- but I think little things like this (and many others) just keep showing how based in reality the scripture is.

The Death At SeaWorld.

While this is sad, I believe the wrong stance is being taken by most of the people in the media etc. Here are a few ideas to improve the situation.

• No longer have trainers in situations which they could get killed, these animals are not domesticated, and are called "killer whales" for a reason.
• The animal responsible for killing the trainer should be "put-down" and made into whale burgers (probably very delicious).
• The animal-right's people that say "whales should not be used for our enjoyment and should be free", should be thrown into the ocean, because it is such a great place to live. An unfortunate situation happened and they act like it's the apocalypse, they are taking the death of this trainer and using it to push their own stupid agenda. 
• People should calm the f@#! down, one person died, we should be more focused on the MILLIONS of people that are dying over in Africa. While it is sad that she died, people die all the time, this is not the first time this whale killed a person, she knew the risk. Thousands of people die every year of automobile accidents, should we stop driving cars because it is "unnatural"?

I don't mean to sound uncaring towards this trainer, as I said before, it is sad, and some things can be learned to prevent this from occurring again in the future. But people really need to get a grip. The media making such a big fuss over this is ridiculous. Imagine what the people overseas that are collecting body-parts from the streets because of suicide bombers must think of us, yet we don't talk about that, those people are just numbers to the media.

Why Vegetarians/Animal Rights People Annoy Me.

Ever run into a vegetarian and be forced to hear them rant about it?

"how they harvest meat is cruel"

"meat is so gross"

"I could never eat something with a soul"

Hearing about it makes me think of two things. Firstly, "wow this person is retarded" and secondly "I want a burger". Which is why I think vegetarians should just shut-up, if you don't want to eat meat, that is your problem, no one wants to hear about it. Giving the 'vegetarian speech' to someone that enjoys meat is like an atheist running into a church and talking about evolution -- and like a Christian, us meat-lovers will never give up our love of meat (the irony is intended).

This group of people leads me to another (a-lot of overlap here), that is the 'animal-rights' activists. While I do think animals should not be tortured, I think these people take it way to far (like many feminist seem to). Many of these people place the value of let's say a dog, at an equal, or higher level then a human's life. This is, as Richard Dawkins would say, a "misfiring" of a Darwinian impulse (and so is being a vegetarian, which I will get into in the future). We are a social species and have developed a sense of empathy for other humans within our societies (the golden rule), which allows us to have things like justice. We can put ourselves in another's shoes, however, this empathy is not "intended" to be shown towards other species (no direct benefit to our genes) -- or rather, when this mechanism developed in humans, the benefit it provided for the species was not because of the animals which we currently feed and house, and only receive a sense of companionship (unless its a cat, which it will just ignore you, unless you give it food). One must ask whose genes are the beneficiary? The humans? or the pets? And who is the one being tricked, who is the victim here?

Now I'm not saying that I don't like pets, or do not wish to have any in the future. What I am saying is that animal-rights activists are always overstepping the boundary for what rights animals should have. For example, does anyone remember when Obama killed that fly that landed on him during an interview? If you don't, here it is..



These people actually got upset because the president KILLED A FLY. These people probably can't sleep at night at the thought of the holocaust caused by windshields, children running in grass, and let's not forget the worst of all, bug-zappers! I can see one of them committing suicide over the guilt of accidentally stepping on a grasshopper, of course not before giving it a proper eulogy and burial.

Chicken Head Anyone?

I'm sorry but this is funny as hell.

Jesus: The Prince Of Peace

I would never want to be a member of a group whose symbol was a guy nailed to two pieces of wood.. -George Carlin

The symbol of Jesus being nailed to a cross is big in Christianity. If Jesus was around (under the assumption that he existed) he would probably be sicked by how he is remembered and portrayed in art. In-fact Christians worship the image of the guy being tortured on 'two pieces of wood' which does violate the rule against worshiping idols (that is another discussion on its own). Some people find inspiration in imagining a guy being sacrificed -- Jesus is loved not for his message, but for the scape-goat he provides.

I'm sorry but it's not my fault that dumba** Eve ate fruit from some tree. Where is the logic? Eve eats a fruit that makes being naked is embarrassing, God gets pissed, so he comes down thousands of years later in human-form, get's executed by Romans, and this causes him to forgive humanity. Christians can understand this, but somehow evolution just doesn't make sense.

Anyways, back on topic -- Christians claim to love Jesus, if someone that you loved was arrested, then tortured on two pieces of wood, would you want to remember this person by wearing a plastic/metal replica of this around your neck? Seems a bit demented to me, but so does the concept of human sacrifice in general -- which is exactly what Jesus was, a human sacrifice. They claim that Christianity is a step-up from the Old-Testament, I suppose that is relative. You try sacrificing a loved one by nailing them to a cross them stabbing them in the rips and see how it goes over. Human sacrifice is so 2,000 years ago, and so is Christianity. Get with the times!
