Calex,

I firmly believe that life starts at conception.

I was reading the article, pretty much agreeing with the author’s points, until he listed “Abortion is murder” as a lie. At that point (#3), he lost me (my interest in reading any more of his article).

Blessings.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is just not thinking.

So you stop reading when you reach something you disagree with.

C.S. Lewis wrote an essay called “On Watchful Dragons.” He was talking about how some people stop reading or listening the moment they see the word “Christian” or “Christianity” or “Jesus.”

You have your own Watchful Dragon that prevents you from reading or listening.

Robert A. Heinlein said, “You can only learn from someone you disagree with.”

If you stop reading because you reach a point of disagreement, you’ve decided that you’ve learned all you’re going to learn, and you might as well put an “Out of Business” sign on your brain.
