mckinley Nowhere do you say why the South wanted to secede from the Union, which is all I wanted to know from the get go.

You started off with me by making fun of my belief in God, then wanted information from me but not willing to give any, and now her feelings are hurt because someone isn't being nice to her. And your first post to me was a suggested Bible reading that didn't really help when I was making a point about vacuous scientific theories. Then I learn how little you actually know or even care about Bible teaching.

I don't know how you can take anything Jesus said seriously and still think abortion is no worse than soldiers fighting in a war. Jesus told Roman soldiers to not complain about their wages, and his highest praise was to a Roman centurion commander, saying he had not seen such faith in all of Israel. In regard to children he said it was better to do yourself in than to offend (harm) one of these little ones. Where do you see him condemning soldiers or being indifferent towards children, or lumping the two together as though one is no worse than the other?

You do not need to feel scared or flattered. I have no interest in flattering an elitist snob, and the only reason you have for feeling "scared" is if someone sees through your so called candy coated exterior.
