This qoute holds too much truth; it's shameful...

 

And to Kwaad i watched Kingdom of Heaven, and i didn't evaluate the movie in the way you did.

What i saw was arrogant men come in (mostly that guy who became the king i think) who lived high in some kind of Pride (which goes against the teachings of Christianity) and killed many people and lost miserably to the Muslims (turks/ottoman not quite sure which).

I also saw a Crusader do what would seem as the most Christian thing to do. He surrendered to the Muslims (giving up the "Christian Pride" and "Holy Land") for the well-being of the people's safety and lives.

The movie clearly shows the contrast between two different kinds of people, and ultimately a bunch of life lessons, (most if not all of which were taught in Christianity).

Also Kwaad you made a very important point. you said:

When it comes to life and death, a unborn 'fetus' is exactly that, a fetus. When do you consider a fetus 'alive' When the cells first divide? Becuase if a fetus with 16 cells has a soul, so does my dog. But the bible says my dog dont have a soul. When does a soul get attached to the fetus? Or even the infant child? When does a child become him/herself? In the womb?

That is what we don't know. THerefore it is not in us humans to decide whether it is right or not to destroy pre-mature human infants. If you're not sure whether it is righteous or not, then why even risk it? For what reason would you risk humanity, the basic moral ethical codes of human life, to destroy life that was concieved? If anything is necessary it is not destruction of pre-life. If anything it is necessary it is to rid the world of the wicked rapists and the people who have sex with no regards towards the life that may be.

EDIT: In response to quignotcb, i think that the freedom to discuss such topics should be allowed here. If not, what's the whole point of an "Off topic Discussion" section of the Forums?
