18. First of all, I don't appreciate you implying that I am a liar.

Far from being a "Pro-Life-American Babies" person, as I said in my post further upthread, I am anti-war, anti-death penalty, and anti-abortion. All for the same reason.

What this means is that I don't think that we should be killing anyone, not in war, not against people of other countries, not in cases of crimes (even very egregious crimes), not in utero, not ever, except in very clear cut cases of self-defense.

Second, I'm not religious at all. In terms of the continuum from atheist to theist, I am agnostic. Third, far from being ethnocentric, I have a mixed race grandchild, because I introduced my daughter to the baby's father hoping they would hook up and I'd get a grandchild out of it.

Fourth, it's really beyond the pale to accuse someone you know only one fact about--that they are anti-abortion--of being a "cultural and bigoted PHONY." It does nothing to further your argument and makes others who favor your cause look really bad, by example.

Finally, if you cannot reason, then the answer is not to attack; it is, instead, to maintain a respectful silence while you wait for someone who DOES have that ability.
