Moral Absolutes Ping - Just started reading this, will finish as soon as I ping it out.
It's completely mind boggling how many "conservative" freepers are weighing in - often viciously - on the side of death. I am very saddened. The value of human life is NOT what we can do, how well we work, how much money we earn, how smart we are, how competitive, how physically fit or beautiful, how sexy or attractive, how healthy or strong. Not even how virtuous or pious.
The value of human life is that our real identity is eternal soul, an eternal child of God, and we all have the potential, regardless of our physical or even mental condition, to remember who we really are, and get right with God.
This inner spiritual journey can be undertaken even while lying in bed paralyzed. When a person is reduced to helplessness, this is often the impetus that brings a lost soul to the feet of God.
Let me know if anyone wants (back) on/off this pinglist.*
*I'm sorry, I lost the list for a second time.

Just one addendum, after reading the whole article. I would humbly and respectively disagree that the atheists, neo-Marxists, nihilists and other assorted self-serving - dare I say demoniac? - who love death and hate life, hate only Christianity. Their war is not only against Christ and his teachings, but every religion that espouses worship of God and His laws.*
*Note I am not including Islam here; I have grievous disagreements with its followers and book.
