I think a big issue is the taboo nature of abortion. Many women feel a myriad of emotions when deciding upon and having an abortion, but it is considered inappropriate to discuss any of these feelings....its easier to sweep something under the rug t…
I think that part of the issue Cally and Laili, is not necessarily that there is not enough support out there, but that what is out there is not very well known, and so it doesn't get taken advantage of. There are tons of support groups out there fo…
Cally,
I totally agree with you, and I really respect how you wrote your blog. I think its important to keep our minds open to other peoples experiences and situations, and that there is not just one answer to everything.
Cally,
I think that there should be more support groups, and more support for women that are going through this. It is very taboo in our society for a young girl to get pregnant, and I think if it was more accepted then we wouldnt have so many terri…
Abortion is a touchy subject and very personal, something that is never mentioned but probably should be. Everyone has their own reason for their beliefs about it; sometimes it can be religious view or personal experience. I do think that there are…
I totally thought the same thing, soon as I saw we were reading on abortion I couldn't figure out how that was going to work.
I like how you said you may not agree but can still show compassion, I think that is a big step for someone to do and needs to be done more often by many people.
James I agree with you. I think that they are not actually in conflict with each other, but people like to look at them in conflict so they can agree and have power over one or the other. They actually work quite nice with eachother, and its a shame…
Cally,
I agree with you that society has become so advanced that we are blind to our intuition sometimes. Sometimes we refuse to accept what our "gut" is telling us because it just doesn't "jive" with what we think we know. Does that make sense? LO…
Intellect and Intuition is used daily by everyone, sometime they don’t always help though. Society has become advanced with sometimes bettering our knowledge. Science has also become more advanced in lives and summiting proofs to different views of…
Cally,
I do not know that human consciousness is always directed toward something - some human beings are born with a mental disability or sustain an injury that causes a lack or loss of what is considered conscious or purposeful thought. Are these…
In Stewart he talks about Rationality and Explanation. Rationality is cause and effect, need grounds for a claim, and empirical or non- empirical knowledge. Explanation is asking why, human consciousness is being directed toward something, and inten…
That is difficult to choice good ar bad, I think it depends on what the advace is. A lot of things are unnessisary but others are for the greater good.
I also believe that technology is robbing us of our intellect. My son learned to do math in his head and can still beat the cash register at figuring change. My daughter whips out her cell phone and can access the calculator faster than I can think…

This topic I believe should be more talked about since it’s happening on a daily basis, every where. The only time it gets really any attention is when a new law comes out and needs to be voted on or something. Over the past years abortion has created more attention through movies, television shows, and songs. It’s funny how it’s so avoided but really it’s around us all in society

This section on Religion and Human origins relates to Open Source because a person can have their own personal beliefs which may or may not be the same as another’s. Beliefs and opinions are personal and should never be criticized just like a person’s belief of pro-choice or pro-life. Also, all though one may have different opinions they can still communicate effectively and come to agreements with another of different views, just like Open Source.

Abortion is a touchy subject and very personal, something that is never mentioned but probably should be. Everyone has their own reason for their beliefs about it; sometimes it can be religious view or personal experience. I do think that there are appropriate situations for abortions; I would never want to take that choice away from them. I have seen families where that choice might have actually been better. I also now that the people I have encountered are traumatized for life because of it,… Continue

Intellect and Intuition is used daily by everyone, sometime they don’t always help though. Society has become advanced with sometimes bettering our knowledge. Science has also become more advanced in lives and summiting proofs to different views of creation. These things are all personal, with how much intellect one has, the intuition one gets, and the view one takes on creation.

On a lighter note, do all born again christians have two belly-buttons?
The origins of the said 'sighs' are relative.
Roman,
You have call people who disagree with you fools, delusional, and worse; yet would teach me how to "get along"?
and again ~sigh~
Using the sword of truth like a blunt hammer only isolates.
Jeff, I must ask myself why, as you say, people are worshiping science. Can they not find frameworks, mystery, hope and challenge in spirituality?
Fortunately, it is not necessary that everyone descend into extreme addiction (vice) to develop profo…
Yes David Bee, all potential sources of knowledge should be given an honest look however there are so many sources that it would take years to get through them all. I am suggesting that each one of us here is a potential sources of knowledge. For ex…
Bee, enjoy your book.
Given these "problems" with the Bible, if the God of the Bible is the God of reality (as I believe He is), I do not wonder at all about His reasons for bringing forth the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is the anchor of my faith in Jesus Christ.…
"without any possibility of appreciating its stories of actual greater underlying metaphoric meanings"
Roman, Did Moses lifting serpant for Israel to look upon and be spared the death they were facing have anything to do with the lifting up of Chri…
Jeff. anyone would be bewildered if others insisted they turn away from a profound personal experience. I hope you do not feel I or others are challenging the validity of your experience or belief. We did not come to RG to change each other - did we…
The bible is a great book. Though not perfect by any means in its many years of attempted transliterations involving additions and edits, and as its historical development with its endless diversity of interpretations bares out, even to this day as…
Goodmorning Kernal,
Over a year ago there was a very strident debate between a mormon and I. It was ugly, and I learned from it. I mispoke earlier when I refered to this thread, I meant this topic. You'll note I haven't participated much. I don't w…
Thanks Jeff,
Glad to hear from you and thanks for sharing as you have. I'm not sure I understand your reference (9 hours ago) about bringing this thread back to life? Nevertheless. . .
As for me being full of myself, I can see how you would say tha…
Thanks Katinka. The book referral is appreciated.
Kernal, you're a might full of yourself there bud. I didn't bring this thread back to life, and have resisted jumping into another me vs. mormon debate. Just not worth the trouble. I guess I've grown up a little in my time on RG, even at 49 years.…
Here is how I see it.
We are spiritual beings having a mortal experience. Currently our physical body and our spirit body are inseparably connected until our physical body dies, when we will leave our physical body.
I am unable to physically detect…
I have been taught, and believe, that it is only with an open mind can one find the truth. I do not believe that there will be any conflict between scientific fact/truth and religious fact/truth, when all is known. Theories are not fact, but are par…
