    By and large, I don't consider supporting or opposing political candidates to be a matter of being right or wrong.

    Hey, Pastor Mitchell, please read with comprehension how I started the sentence: "I am not sure..."

    All I asked was who are these most? "I am not sure" is not relevent to my question. Do you have an answer? or are we going to see more:

    You are also wrong on several biblical issues, denying several O/T passages. But we've been thru all that.

    Pastor Mitchell, unless you are going to state that everyone opposed to abortion wants a 100% ban then your line of questioning is off the mark.

    We have a consensus in society to not allow the murder of teenagers. Unfortunately, we don't have that on the abortion issue.

    Therefore, unless one is going to say the he would support a dictatorship as long as the dictator would ban all abortions, then your question is out of bounds. There are more issues to vote on than just abortion.

    OK...let me rephrase the question. If you take Obama and keep all his stances on issues but insert that he also would support the murder of teenage children, would you still have voted for him?

    No, I would not. However, that issue has no effect on how people vote in the United States.

    Look, if someone wants to base his/her vote on the single issue of abortion that is fine. However, I don't think that one Christian can bind that idea of voting based on the abortion issue alone on a fellow Christian.

    OK. Could you explain that? Why does it appear that you value the life of a teenager more than the life of an unborn child? You say that you are extremely pro-life and that you value each of those lives the same, yet your hypothetical vote would show otherwise.

    You have just about convinced me, Matt, that to be consistent I must switch to the pro-choice position.

    I'm not saying I will do so but I will ponder this further to see if that is what I should do.

    Thank you, Matt, you have given me much food for thought. :thumbs:

    I sincerely hope you are trying to pull my leg. If you aren't then you obvously haven't been as pro-life as you claim to have been.

    I'll pray for God to give you guidance and that he will reveal His will to you regarding abortion.

    Now wait a minute, when I said you were deceived you called it a personal attack. Now you say the same thing about me. So is it a personal attack? Meaning you are violating board rules? Or is it not a personal attack meaning that I (once again) have proven you wrong on something?

    Of course, I was. I apologize.

    Seriously, though, I cannot answer your question and concede the argument to you.

    OK..now that you've had your fun, how about actually answering the question rather than avoiding it?

    As I said, I cannot come up with an answer to your question and I tip over my king(as is done in chess) and concede the the argument to you.
