weisschr--You have a worldview. You have a philosophy of life. Your biases color the way you view evidence. To deny that your beliefs affect how you approach evolution is to deny reality and casts doubt upon your crediblity. Even more so, it may show how one does not want to face the Truth, no matter how painful it may be for you.
A self-evaluative conclusion of "zero effect on the content of my character" is totally unreliable. First, his assessment would be biased and not neutral.

According to United States State Department data, an "estimated 600,000 to 820,000 men, women, and children [are] trafficked across international borders each year, approximately 80% are women and girls and up to 50 percent are minors. The data also illustrates that the majority of transnational victims are trafficked into commercial sexual exploitation."[34]
Let's start with a biblical worldview of sex. Sex is beautiful and has been created by God to be enjoyed within the boundaries of marriage between a man and a woman. Outside of those boundaries, it is improper. To license and legalize improper sexual activity merely promotes further immorality. The promotion of immoral sexual behavior is never in the best interests of the public good. ...more
Let's start with a biblical worldview of sex. Sex is beautiful and has been created by God to be enjoyed within the boundaries of marriage between a man and a woman. Outside of those boundaries, it is improper. To license and legalize improper sexual activity merely promotes further immorality.
The promotion of immoral sexual behavior is never in the best interests of the public good.
Societal laws help to shape the public's perception of good and evil. Laws that promote immorality will further blind society to that which is wrong. Prohibition by society of a certain behavior by the government aid in decreasing that type of behavior.
Laws that promote or permit certain behaviors will lead to an increase in that conduct.
Prohibitions do work. Why are there laws against murder and rape? why are there laws restriction the availability of abortion? To promote the public good and to protect the sacredness of life.
To legalize sexual immorality is to promote degrade the worth of humans into things. They become mere animals who copulate. The strong takes advantage of the weak for their own pleasures. Women become mere playthings. instead of the sacred humans created in God's image.less
Kemper challenged Planned Parenthood officials to come forward: “Planned Parenthood I dare you to actually show you care about women and commit to making sure this will never happen again in one of your so called medical clinics. Shame on you for trying to downplay the severeness of human sex trafficking. Shame on you.”

Jackson alleges that the homosexual community has been trying for years to undermine or destroy the church and believers who dare stand up for their faith.

"They want to destroy the very faith which established this nation, its very foundation, because it is an affront to them and they want a sexually amoral society remade in their image."
The Bishop further claims that support for the traditional family is not an attack on homosexuality. "When we do programs to support the family, we are not thinking about homosexuality, but for homosexuals, any endorsement of the family as God ordained it is an attack on them. It demonstrates their paranoid obsession with getting the society to endorse their lifestyle and silencing those who won't."less

Bishop Jackson is calling on Christians and fair minded Americans to "Buycott Chik-Fil-A." "Go out of your way to patronize this fine business. They have a right to support whomever they wish without being persecuted for their Christian faith and values." Jackson suggests, "The bigotry is so virulent that it may be time to make Christians a protected class. Right now 'Christo-phobia' and 'Biblo-phobia' are at such a fever pitch among leftists and homosexual activists, and they need to be stopped before they get carried away in their zeal and do bodily harm to someone. Once again we must remind them our Constitution says, 'freedom of religion' and not 'freedom from religion.'"less
Says Bishop Jackson, "This is further proof of the insidious and dangerous hatred by homosexual activists of any Christian who dares try to live out their biblical values. The problem in society today is not hatred of homosexuals, but hatred by homosexuals of anyone who refuses to say 'amen' to their sexual behavior."

Planned Parenthood's potential criminal activity... Got libel?
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- U.S. Congressman Mike Pence released the following statement today regarding an undercover video that showed potential criminal activity at a Planned Parenthood clinic in New Jersey:
"The recent release of an undercover video exposing duplicity and potential criminality by an employee of Planned Parenthood is an outrage.
"Every American should be shocked that an employee of the largest recipient of federal funds under Title X has been recorded aiding and abetting underage sex trafficking.
"The time to deny any and all funding to Planned Parenthood is now. In the wake of yet another scandal involving Planned Parenthood, I urge Congress to move the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act to the floor for immediate consideration."less

Macroevolution is a metaphysical philosophy not a science.
Microevolution is science since that can be observed and repeated within boundaries of scientifice inquiry and research.
Since the origin of the universe happened once in the past, all theories are mere speculation. It cannot be proven or disproven using scientific technique.
People often confuse macroevolution (genetic mutations between species) with microevolution (genetic changes within a species). Microevolution is studied within the realim of science. Macroevolution is merely a theory of philosophy masking as a science.less

skepticism--The days at Planned Parenthood are numbered once the truth comes out. PP is literally in panic mode. Pro-life organizations around the nation are unveiling the PP Exposed webvideo on 2/3/11. The allegations of slander are baseless. Since written statements are at issue, you probably meant libel instead of slander.
In any case, the proponents of a potential lawsuit based on the claim of libel have a high standard of proof to bear. In a way, I wish the my "outrageous slander" was false. To succeed in your claim of libel, you need to prove the falsehood of my allegations. Sadly, you will fail. Unfortunately, there are female teenagers who are victims do to PP's complicity.
I wish that you would have succeeded in your claim for libel rather than to have those young girls suffer needlessly through sex trafficking.
Also, your suit for libel will have to cover a bunch of defendants such as Family Research Council and numerous other pro-life organizations. They are well prepared with attorneys on their sides. Best wishes.less
So-called physical acts of "love" may not necessarily be unselfish, given, and sacrifical. They may be selfish, self-centered, and lustful. Adultery may act upon physical acts of "love." The fleeting emotional sensation of "love" does not justify the immoral activity either.
