no, they didn't choose... it all was was passed down through generations... the good part is that the following is not the end of the story... there is redemption... there is grace no matter what... there should be no hatred... no us and them... only love... we need to come from a stand point of love hatred will get us no where... look at where hatred has brought us so far....

Romans 1:18-32 - "The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them."

Re: Bristol Palin is Currently Pregnant

having just returned from my 7th trip to Africa where I work with HIV/AIDs affected & infected orphans & families, it is not that condoms are ineffective... it's that they are not used correctly. PLUS the HIV virus is actually smaller than the molecules that make up condoms. It is true that abstinence is the ONLY effective way to 100% prevent pregnancy and the contraction of STDs, but in all reality... not everyone will stick to that method. I think that in proper education abstinence needs to be taught and the values that go along with it, but protection also needs to be taught for those that could care less about abstinence...

In regards to Palin's daughter... her daughter's choices should not be held against her. This isn't something that should affect her ability to be a candidate. The fact is... there isn't a person out there without something in their background to piss off somebody.

And Holly... no, I still haven't completed all my Palin reseach... I told you I would start here... ;)

Re: Helen Mirren Thinks Date Rape Shouldn’t Be Illegal

having been in a similar situation... I can understand where she is coming from. I don't think she meant to say it was okay, but more that she felt she led him on to the point where she couldn't stop the situation and feels guilty for letting it get that far. I agree whole-heartedly with you and think that women need to speak up when they are raped. I also see where they come from a state of fear in doing so. I also see where they feel they may not be believed because of the EVIL women out there that falsely accuse. And to answer the question that may be coming up for you... no... I did not report it.

Re: Women DO Deserve Better, Women Deserve CHOICE

I am extremely pro life, but that is my choice... I also believe that I do not have the right to tell another what their choice should be. Women need to make an informed decision that is right for them... my hope is that it's one that will not make them feel guilty for the rest of their lives... and with all the choices that are available... each one of them could pose those implications... I think that education is the most important factor...
