My Son attends a public school of approx. 60 highschool students, he will be 17 in August, He is a mature responsable young man, he has good grades and an after school job. the administrator is dead set against allowing any student to leave at the non class period lunch hr. even with a note from parent. Does the adm. have more authority than parents. The lunch hr. is not considered a class period. Most students want to walk to the store thats on the same side of the street as the school and about 2 blcks away. The school lunch is not muc to be desired.

Why would it be awkward?
Gods created us in their image. They created us to think, behave, and look (to a certain degree) like them. It makes no sense for them to purposefully make us like them, and then give us orders not to be like them.

There can not be more than one God.
Except that there can, and there is.

I'm going to establish now God's existence.
Oookay. I'm not sure why, since no one was denying the existence of anything. But I guess this gives me a chance to play devils advocate, so I'll play.

(I know thissection was aimed more at whiteflame, but I have something to say)a God would not create homosexuality

Except that you're arguing that that's not the case? You're arguing that homosexuality goes against the Abrahamic god's will, and that it's immoral, which means that it can't co-exist (which implies harmony, which means homosexuality...

There has been a lot of discussion around the topic of abortion lately, partly influenced by recent political gaffes by republican senators concerning the concept of abortion in cases of rape.

Let me just say that I am pro-choice. I am not pro-choice because I hate babies or children, or because I believe a fetus isn't a living thing. Maybe that makes me worse, because I love children. I love children so much, I invested in them by choosing a career in nurturing them and their minds and helping them grow. I recognize that even if we quibble about the specific definition of where life begins, a fetus, alive or not, still has the potential for life, if the process continues unobstructed.

So why am I pro-choice, being the pro-child, life-adoring person that I am? Exactly for that reason - because I am pro-child, pro-mother, pro-family, and anti-slander, anti-judgment, and most of all, pro-support.

The pro-life camp has some real concerns and bleeding hearts, and certainly does a great job of appealing to the pathos of a crowd with pictures (doctored or not) of aborted fetuses and the use of the word "genocide." But it's exactly these...
