 No. Mankind is a work in progress, attempting a goal (God) that has never been broached by any other living entity on earth, to the best of our knowledge. As such, mankind is God to the best of His/Her ability at any given moment in time, as individuals and groups. Quote:

 Here, entertain this one: Not so fast bb...................I’m just starting to warm up. Though I will warn you, my siblings would suggest, don’t get her started. So would the rolling stones. They made that song just for me. In fact I think I’ll crank up that song right here and now. You can’t taint me big boy. I am already as colorful as one can get. God loves color, did you know that? :angel: | ||||||||

			Your tone indicates that I have struck a nerve, so I should probably take the advice of your siblings and not get you started. I reviewed my post to which you responded for inappropriate behavior on my part. There was a part where I may have inadvertently come across a bit aggressive and accusatory, especially since I used, “you” and not “one:” The objection cannot be that it's just a clump of cells and thus not wrong. You know why? It's because of the very thing I told you to keep in mind that you're not. However, since not most (but all) of what I said was under supposition, then I did not think it would have been interpreted negatively: Suppose for a moment that you believe many late term abortions are wrong, and suppose further that it is indeed wrong (and thus not merely a belief) to abort late term pregnancies. Keep that in mind. Either way, I take full blame and apologize, for if I could write worth a hoot and more readily adapt to each reader, then it would not have happened. You also made a statement that made me take pause: I am one of those kinds of people who live from my heart because I know it is a good heart. Maybe you think not. So be it. I thought nothing of the sort either way. I don't know what kind of person you are. I believe you are person that doesn't think shorelines exist, but beyond that, I have no idea. Oh, and I'm even sure about that either, for it's been a little while since I engaged you in that thread, and I was confused over why there was even confusion to begin with, so I may not even be correct on that note either.

			I wished I could say I care not what you think, but I am not a philosopher, I am practical.  What I know is this, you will do what you want to do, right or wrong, which gives me permission to do what I want to do.  And so the world turns.  Adios big boy.  I wish you well. tea: I forgot to add, I will not only survive, but will thrive. 'sparkle' |
