[Markdb]

While it is unnatural, there is a difference bewtween this and the chemical extermination of human life, which is what takes place when potential parents use most forms of pharmaceutical contraception.

What is unnatural about that fact that there is only certain days when a women can get pregnant?

With all due respect, not really. Your Christianity will become fundamental when your main purpose in life is to know, love and serve God. He never said a single word about "religious liberty". In fact He made it clear that He was to rule all nations, and that we are to work towards that end - hence the doctrine of the Kingship of Christ.

With all due respect, my main purpose in life IS to know, love, and serve God. We are created with a free will. We can choose life or we can choose death. We can choose to serve God or not to serve God. All men are free to make this choice and to reap the rewards of his or her choice. Would that not be classified as religious freedom? In addition it is HE that will rule all nations. He does not direct us to force his will on others. There is no New Testament basis for forcing others to live according to Christian principles through the rule of law.

I'm honestly not trying to put you down in any way so please don't misunderstand, but this is more the doctrine of Plato or the French Revolution than it is of Our Lord.

Likewise I have no intention of putting you down, but I firmly believe that that my position is backed up by the bible. Our mission is to change the hearts of men through the preaching of the word and our testimony, not through force.
