As I look around the room, all I see is untapped potential! You have potential! You have . . . oh boy . . .

Yes I do! It's hard working with a bunch of losers!

Actually, I know everyone has "untapped potential." The process works to help people achieve what they want - and what they want, as paying customers, is up to them! (However, I also realize it's ultimately all up to God.)

Abortion: the only word that can make followers of Jesus vote against everything Jesus ever talked about because of one issue that Jesus never talked about.

I see that as something of a Stawman Argument on your part, but there is still some tendency to do that among Christian voters. Why? It's the taking of a human life. Do you think that's not important to our God, who created us and gave us life?

Abortion is murder. Every writer in scripture talked about that. Jesus too!

And "vote against everything Jesus ever talked about?" Huh? Examples?

Is this supposed to be an intelligent response to something?

I might not address this as adroitly as Ohio may, but it's a simple 2 + 2 thing, right? The taking of a human life is considered what?

Ungodly liberal thinking has sought to twist this simplicity and keeps telling us over & over & over that it's not the taking of a human life (and it's a right to do so) - more like squishing an amoeba I guess . . .

But this "amoeba" has human hands, a human face, human fingerprints, human dna, human heartbeat, human life, and a human soul created by God.

Ever study the so-called "science" presented at Roe to the SCOTUS? They totally deceived the court. Their pictures were fraudulent. Their data was deceptive. Their presentation was a total lie. Just ask Norma McCorvey, the so-called "Roe." Her story is telling. Worst laws in history of the US, worse even than the Dred Scott decision of 1857 because most slaves at least got to live, whereas the aborted unborn never got that chance.

Where does the Bible say that it is "murder" when killed with a shotgun?

Stupid word games. Murder is when your actions cause another person to die, apart from self-defense. Goodness, even animals nowadays have more rights than the unborn.

It's not that hard to understand zeek. You're a smart guy.

No! no! no! I really want to know where every writer of the books of the Bible spoke out against abortion.

Bro Ohio, you made the claim. Back it up. At least give me a few examples.
