Although I respect the sincerity of Ms. Rice's Christian beliefs and her Catholic faith, I would remind her, if I ever had her ear, that Jesus never called upon the goverment to do the things she mentions here: involve feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, clothing the naked, visiting those in prison, and above all, loving one’s neighbors and loving one’s enemies. The Apostle Paul reminds us in Romans 13 that the governments bear the sword, not the breadbasket.
I feel we can stop the horror of abortion. But I do not feel it can be done by rolling back Roe vs. Wade, or packing the Supreme Court with judges committed to doing this. ...As a student of history, I do not think that Americans will give up the legal right to abortion. Should Roe vs Wade be rolled back, Americans will pass other laws to support abortion, or they will find ways to have abortions using new legal and medical terms.
She might be right. If Roe v. Wade were repealed and abortion went back to the States to decide, there are certainly some states that would immediately pass laws to allow for abortions within their borders (such as California) but there are states which would immediately ban it. That's fine. It's a decision the Feds never should have gotten involved in the first place.
The general consensus here in the N.O. area is that Rice is flakier than Kelloggs. The woman is a serious weirdo, probably in need of psychiatric/psychological help for many reasons.
That's kind of the point, isn't it? If RvW is overturned at least we will have the right to oppose laws legalizing it, but it will be constitutional, which RvW is not.
Amen!
I said something kind of harsh on another thread regarding alcohol use in relation to her support of Hillary. I was kidding, but I shouldn’t have said it.
She has years of deprogramming ahead of her. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is always weak.
I read her book about Jesus. It was well written and very respectful. I don’t believe she is a hypocrite.
I’m tired of people calling christians hypocrites every time they fart.
At least she went Catholic. I shouldn’t throw too many stones. I was pro-choice, then I was partly pro-life, and now I believe it’s literally an unseen holocaust. It is promethean fire and mankind cannot handle it. I’m not a woman, so they would say I have no right to speak, but I say pregnancy is not a life sentence.
She is lying to sell books.
She is writing about Christ in her upcomming books.
She is showing herself as a feminist and just an absudity.
(of course it could be she is invisible to hillary)
“[Rice]...swift with words”.
Her article reads like a sophomore’s term paper.
This is where SOCONs (social conservatives/Christian conservatives) will get burned over and over. They place morality and God over the principles of liberty and the Founding Fathers. This country is FIRST about liberty.
SOCONs gave away the game when they compromised on this principle.
A President Brownback and Christian conservative Congress pass 8 years of legislation meant to 'help the needy and help society' based on the Gospels. The following term, a radical liberal gets in and, for all the same reasons and intentions, enacts laws meant to 'help the needy and help society' based on their interpretation of the same Gospels. What happened during this time? You lost your freedom. And, the laws meant to 'help the needy' did 180s, as did their ramifications. That is no kind of government.
She wrote Interview in such a realistic, conversational style that at the time there was much speculation about whether it was really fiction, or truth. I’ve read a lot of her books, and really enjoyed them, but it got to be a bit much. Too much homo-eroticism and as the poster said, ‘goth-emo satanism.’
Well, there was Daniel Boone, Davey Crockett, George Washington, Lighthorse Harry Lee, and the Boothe family. But a lot of the ‘characters’ were probably more local, given the speed of communications. I imagine the telegraph enabled the rise of celebrity to a large extent.
That depends on how you look at it. The child, Claudia, needed blood to survive, and so did the daughter she lost. Both of them died.
There is no doubt Anne was out of her mind with grief. I enjoyed Interview , as well as some of Stephen King's works. Some would say he is one sick puppy too.
