The ND controversy is a manufactured "scandal" sponsored by the lunatic fringe of the pro-life movement who are still smarting over their 06 and 08 humiliation at the polls. The Vatican wants no part of this 3-ring circus produced by the Randall Terry branch of the church.

That screed from Marie Devine is a horrenduous, magical-world, fundamentalistic piece of nonsense. It boggles the mind that any educated adult in America can spew such superstituous anti-thought.

As we seek greater worship and unity we must seek greater understanding. Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28 are two profound chapters that explain why all the terrors are in the world. His promise is rain in due season, healthy crops, people and animals for obedience; but there are 4 x 7 curses for those who reject His ways. By this a person and nation would know whether they were right with God or not. Even the Black Plague that killed 40 to 50 MILLION people around 1918+ brought the people to God's way of ending it: quarantine, washing hands, and turning to God. It will be the same with the swine flu. Our wars and pollutions of our air, land, water and food show us disease etc. and remind us we are going the wrong way.

True worship is following God's word in truth. Our unity in found as we seek solutions to world problems:

Leviticus 11 has God's commands on clean and unclean animals. He called the pig unclean and commanded not to eat it. Jesus said to live by EVERY word of God. The Roman Catholic Church rejected and forbid God's commandments through Moses and the Prophets, including commands on food, the Ten Commandments including the 7th day Sabbath of no work (Saturday), circumcision and the holy days of God. (300+AD). The Protestant Church never restored those things when it corrected some things. In 600+AD God sent Muhammad with the message to follow the whole Bible (agreement with Jesus who was in agreement with Moses.) "People of God" have not realized that Jesus Christ’s return comes after "the time of restoration of all things through the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began" means restoring the things the Roman Catholic Church rejected and forbid. Why? because he is not coming to be rejected again. He is the word of God, the same yesterday, today and forever and he is coming when we want to be ruled by the word of God.(him). Until that time, Leviticus 26 4 x 7 curses continue UNTIL we accept the truth of IT IS WRITTEN.

Pope Benedict XVI could become the greatest pope by restoring what the early church rejected. That would make a wonderful celebration when he goes to Israel this month. For us, we should email the president to restore the Ten Commandment as the standard of our nation. It is our sign we are God's people in truth. President Obama’s Health Care Reform would be greatly enhanced with accepting God’s word on circumcision, clean and unclean animals and other guidance in the word of God. He could be the greatest president by restoring God’s word for our nation. By turning to God we could end the swine flu as quickly as it began.

I thought that the "all knowing all seeing" God controlled everything, from our thoughts to our deeds, and while we do have some "free will" there is the factor that God controls everything that leads me to believe that if abortion, or war or millions of children starving and dying from disease, were something that God wanted to stop, then it would be so. Which of course makes the entire argument that these people want to stop those people from doing something that these people think shouldn't be allowed, even though it really isn't any of their business what those people do, seem all the more rediculous, because if God really didn't want those people doing it, he probably wouldn't allow it to happen. Unless you're saying that God really doen't have any control over the situation, and all that omnipotence is just something people made up. I mean it's all pretty relative to what agenda you're trying to accomplish right?

Russ Paumen, as most anti-choice people, wants to talk about only 1/2 of the issue. What about the countless human beings(to use his descriptor of the fertilized embryo or fetus)who perish through spontaneous abortion or failure to implant in the walls of wombs each day? If they are, as his argument would seem to assume, human beings, then their loss can be no less than the losses of those who are deliberately aborted.

What he calls the "Dictatorship of relativism" is no more than human beings seeking truth in the face of changed circumstances,new evidence and increased understanding. In reality, truth and relativism are intricately bound. Certainly, there are general truths, but these are always subject to refinement by natural reason, operating with knowledge of the past and with the new tools and insights provided by developments never foreseen when any particular "truth" was defined or promulgated.

Rob Winslow of FL 12:24PM April 30, 2009

Obama's 1st 100 days is full of relativism -- and we should not fall for it! 3000 human beings perish in the womb each day in our nation. Obama's 95/10 project doesn't help change his stripes on abortion. Each life is sacred and we cannot dismiss it by saying we are trying to reduce the 3000 number.
