Desparate Houswives=stupid. 90+% of writers in Hollywood have no church affiliation. What would anyone expect besides overtly un-Christian, or for that matter, just morally devoid themes? Sadly, it even appeals to the dark side of those who'd consider themselves Christians, and that's why the stuff sells. Of couse, some self-proclaimed Christians have no idea what the word even means, but worse many are too lazy to care. I think that's one reason for the gap in the numbers; why 75% of the nation says, "I'm Christian", but why some of the things mentioned before exist in this country.
Abortion is a convoluted issue that not all agree on, but I think anyone with a little sanity would agree that it's a sad occasion when one happens. The fact is, most Americans agree on banning the extreme cases, such as "partial-birth", and after the 2nd trimester.
Benjamin you wrote,
Are you suggesting that humans wouldn't know that murder is wrong if the bible had not told them so?
I was being a little facetious, I thought you'd get a chuckle out of that. We are not born with the inherent knowledge that stealing or hurting another is wrong, but scream, kick and cry until someone teaches us differently. I'm sure you have had many influences and "teachers" who have taught you a moral code of sorts, even if not an official one. Where did they get their knowledge? Man didn't just wake up one day and have an epiphany. Granted, logic plays some role in this, but also conscience driven by ? plays a bigger one.
I try to live by such ideals as "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Under otherwise peaceful circumstances, murder is unacceptable by that code.
I see you're quoting Jesus. He does have tremendous influence on society doesn't He?
If you guys want call America "Judeo-Christian", then fine. Christianity has its roots in the Jewish faith. I won't lose sleep over that.
We didn't make it to page 2 before the name-calling started. Heh heh, in true HAN fashion.
