    Compass Lake Engineering closing doors to the public

    Sad to hear, I hope its a discrete decision and not indicative of any larger problem, but we still have many many fine choices for barrels. The world still revolves on its axis.

    Is abortion ok

    I'll concede your point about belief in God vs belief the Bible is the Word of God as well. Its certainly possible to believe in a creator God, even the Christian God, but not believe the Bible, as we know it, is His complete and inerrant Word. As to whether I believe the "classification of...

    Is abortion ok

    Good point... To be a bit more precise, I don't believe God's primary focus is promoting change through political means. He's not really trying to "make the world a better place", in the way a modern SJW might understand it (not calling you a SJW, BTW). His efforts are directed at changing...

    Is abortion ok

    I guess the point is that the servitude described in the Bible is not directly equivalent to the chattel slavery of the African slave trade that I assume you were referencing. You must look at the subject in its cultural context. From a more theological perspective, I tend to think that the...

    Is abortion ok

    A fallacy, but let’s not get distracted. You avoided giving an answer. You gave legality as the ultimate standard, not me…

    Is abortion ok

    Not sure you're disagreeing with me here... You gave several good examples of exactly my point. What is legal isn't necessarily right, moral, or good.

    Not spin. Science. Way to completely avoid the issue, though... :rolleyes:

    Is abortion ok

    So when slavery was legal it was OK?

    Is abortion ok

    You miss the point. We aren't discussing my views, rather yours... I didn't claim legality as the standard - you did... Your questions make my point for me, legality isn't a particularly good standard.

    Is abortion ok

    I think the science has shown that its not her body... Entirely unique DNA. You can still advocate for indiscriminate termination of life, but you need a different argument.

    If you don’t shoot comps

    Dude, you are on the right track. This is the way. I also wanted to watch my daughters grow up and spend every second I could with them. Hanging at rifle comps, regardless of how well you finish, isn't in the same universe...

    Is abortion ok

    What are laws? Laws are restrictions and/or requirements that either compel or prohibit behavior. How do we choose what to compel or prohibit? If all that is important to you is whether or not something is legal, would you be OK if abortion was made illegal? It seems that would satisfy the...

    Is abortion ok

    This is what I am asking... As I understand the partial birth abortion procedure, it is quite grotesque. Are you OK with that? Don't know what an emogelical is, and don't care. Probably just an ad hominem that is beneath you anyways...

    Is abortion ok

    Including yours? You are making a moral argument about what is right and what is wrong - a moral argument by definition. A self-defeating proposition it would seem... And on what basis are you making any claim of what is right? What is the transcendent idea that provides you the foundation...
