My answer is yes, and before anyone tries to crucify me, I am an AA female.The reason I answer yes in this manner is simple.

Man is simply in no position to say there is no God.We did not create the world, wasn't there when it started; won't be here when it ends.

Arts & Humanities > Ethics A dialogue on abortion: 43 of 71
I will only make a suggestion that everyone should bear in mind when it comes to debating abortion and who should pay for it and whether or not the government should even be involved in the first place.When tax funds are exacted from American citizens, they go into a "pool," that pool is under the control of the Fed.

EarthsongThe elements of the planet Earth are wind, water, fire and dust. These elements make up the wind in our lungs from the air that we breathe, the water in our bodies that keeps us from withering away like a dry prairie, the fire stoking our heating systems that offsets the water from the cooling systems and regulates o...
