Not sure what number we're on.
Okay,
In response to Liz's question:
Where do you stand on abortion?
I would say I'm completely and undoubtedly pro-choice. Mostly, though, because I'm not a christian fundamentalist. However, if I were I might realize that the abortion issue isn't tackled in the bible. Amidst the gorey and mythological tales of people being slain for not worshipping a God that has never publicly spoke or killed anyone since the first century there's nothing saying a group of cells lodged in a womb, feeding off a woman like a cancer can not be terminated. And, furthermore, if people believe in the bible so dearly how can they accept somethings of science and reject others? For instance, science showed that an embryo was made nine months previous to its birth and couldn't sustain its growth without its host. The Christian population, not as a whole but as a majority, jumped on this concept and ran straight to the vatican to get the idea confirmed and spread. However, the pope was not so quick to accept the scientific evidence of the earth not being the center of the universe (that was only accepted a few years ago) and it still hasn't caught on that evolution occurs. In fact, I saw a christian t-shirt that said "Say "No" to Evolution" this makes absolutely no sense to me and I don't think that its right to pick and choose what is correct out of the bible and what to accept out of reality. Live in one world and stop harassing people that don't live in yours.
