U2Scot said:Can someone point out what Jesus actually had to say about abortion.
I would think Jesus CHRIST would have had something to say on the matter as it's existence is such a hot topic for CHRISTians

Why do you ask?

Do you consider His Word authoritative in your life?

And yet these take precedence with the Christian Right over the things Jesus DID discuss. Helping the poor and the sick, etc. Curious. Very curious.

well, if that wasn't one huge sweeping generalization
U2Scot said:
Well, next time Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell are in the news for somethign other than wanting to assassinate democratically elected leaders, ban cartoons for their supposed homosexual content or just expressing their homophobia in genral (you know, other things like outrage at our lack of a proper healthcare system, world poverty, fair trade, etc, ) be sure to let me know.
roll eyes back atcha

Now, you're just playing judgment games. Not so much intellectual curiosity now, is it?
nbcrusader said:
Jesus did speak regarding the value of human life, how we should value each other.
nbcrusader said:
But, we could go through plenty of Scripture regarding life, marriage, sex, etc. that would provide the framework for your answer - if you were really interested.
U2Scot said:
I'm not talking about the selective grabbing of position-buttressing scripture, all sides of any argument can do that. The beauty of the Bible, you can find a quote for just about anything. I'm specifically talking about what JESUS had to say, did you not understand my question ?
LivLuvAndBootlegMusic said:
Well I'll be damned if Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell are considered the spokespersons for the entire Christian Right!
They represent a few radical fundamentalist people who I have less in common with than my peers of entirely different religions altogether.
But of course, only the most rediculous comments get media attention. I find it pretty stupid that you're twisting what the media chooses to talk about into what the Christian Right as a whole is really all about. I don't think I'm the one that has research to do...
LivLuvAndBootlegMusic said:
You're question was answered already.
Obviously this thread has a hidden agenda. I don't think there's anything left to discuss here.
U2Scot said:
So, Jesus had nothing to say about abortion then ? A simple "yes" or "no" will suffice.
Thanks for the post refuting what I said about the Christian right, happy to see you provided so many facts to the contrary.

If either of these two had advised their followers to stay home in 2000 or 2004 Bush most likely would not have been able attain office.
indra said:LivLuv and nbc -- just ignore this guy. He's just a shit stirrer. And don't think he speaks for most of the liberals on here any more than Robertson and Falwell and their ilk speak for you.
We might have fundamental differences (pun kind of intended ) in how we view the world, but most of us here are actually interested in the views of others here, even when we vehemently disagree with them. U2Scot is just raising hell. Ignore him -- if no one plays his nasty little game he'll eventually get bored and go away.
