Nah

PaulO March 20, 2012 10:17AM

In practice it means that most businesses are closed Sundays.

I agree and disagree

PaulO March 19, 2012 07:25AM

I dare say I was more new to arguing back then, so take that as you will. Also I did not suggest the bible endorses abortion, only that it does not speak against it.

"in fact, the bible promotes killing unborn babies" (n/t)

PaulO March 19, 2012 07:41AM

Killing in the sense of killing the mother and child, not abortion :P I should have been more clear. It is mostly used to point out the all loving god is just as cruel as any human, apparently. (n/t)
