My thoughts exactly. Giving up oxygen would have a beneficial effect on the rest of us.

I’m sure God will take that into account to weigh against the support for abortion. Facts are facts, ice cream vs life

(given up ice cream and other sweets for Lent this year)

That should impress God

Not

The only sacrifice a Holy God accepts is the shed blood of His Son Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 1:3
King James Version

3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

And Hunter's giving up crack for Lent.

Sure, I believe it. Millions wouldn't, but I sure would. And yes, I did just fall off the turnip truck.

Yep.

Let me see; God frowns on ice cream but abortions are A-OK?

I wonder why God would be OK that His newly created life would be cut down in its mother's womb—a life breathed into being with God's very own breath.
