ORIGINAL: GotSteel This isn't a slippery slope thing. It's a what happens when you believe what the Bible says thing just like I've warned. More like a pick and choose thing. The Bible happens to advocate abortion on several occasions. As usual, it's people refusing to think, not their source selection. Sources come and go, often changing along the way. A good source for today may be a poor source for tomorrow, and vice versa. Reason is eternal in any universe humans can envision, and as such a brilliant tool for selecting sources and working with the input those sources provide. I've found it most interesting to read the Bible as if it were the end product of reasonable people's ideas being passed down the ages by less reasonable and more politically inclined people. Gives one a very different impression from what the conservative fundies are pushing (which, let's face it, is their own perception of the status quo of their youth, not anything from the Bible or any other such source). IWYW, — Aswad.
