And now I see Intrepid as a superhero!
How do you like it? Designed it myself.

Quite impressive, but you remind me of one those guys from CHI-cago that you don't want appearing on your front porch.
LOL, reminds me of the afternoon I was home alone and so bored I invited the Jehovah Witnesses in. They didn't like me much though.
I was trying to be a bit more diplomatic and didn't name names.

What church do you go to?
Actually depends on where I am and who I am with. In my eclectic working life, I have worked for the Roman Catholics, the Epsicopalians, the Baptists, the Methodists, and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) as well as a year in a Christian Bookstore with a wacky bunch of charismatic fundamentalists who held hands and prayed for the money to come in to pay bills on time (and got it.)
My church membership is with one of the more liberal congregations that officially supports all the liberal social doctrines but is tolerant of their more conservative members and affords me complete freedom to write and teach my more conservative points of view. I do stick to religious history, comparative religions, and development of Christian thought, however, and don't get into current political or social issues in church.
That's quite interesting, Foxfyre. If I understand you correctly, your pro-life views would probably not be considered the majority view at your church?
And here I had just been taught by some seemingly very wise A2Kers in another thread that all Christians were basically unthinking sheep who follow blindly their leadership; and of course the corrollary, that church leadership are usually overbearing control freaks with no tolerance for independent thought in the laity.
Maybe I shoulda asked those wise ones how long it had actually been since they were in a church.........

I rather doubt that such pro-choice views would be preached from the pulpit, don't you?
In several of the churches I have attended in my lifetime, this very subject is typically considered taboo by the elders. If you ask them their opinion they'll all give the same 'We're pro-life' answer, but then you find out a few months later that they either support abortion or at least advocate the right to choose. It's fairly confusing at times.
