Sir Humphrey Appleby is(was) the greatest character on television! To really appreciate and enjoy his dialogues you have to rewind and re-rewind and savor every word. HA is like fine wine or fine cigar...
"We are ALL God's children."
Cows, too? You're not too bright, are you?
"We are ALL God's children. After that you believe what you believe"
In the context of this thread and your previous posts, is it safe to assume then that you believe killing animals for food is morally equivalent to killing human beings?
If not, then is it safe to assume that you believe that killing animals for food is morally equivalent to killing unborn human beings, regardless of how far along the development of the baby?
Yeah, and I believe that man was created in God's own image (Gen 1:27), I believe that God's Son died on the Cross for man's sin (Ro. 8:3), and that God gave animals to man for food (Gen. 9:3). Animals are created beings, but not God's children. That's why I won't waste my time with people who claim animals have the same rights than humans do. And I'm deeply offended when someone compares the murder of unborn babies to the slaughter of cattle for food.
I think the point was that they went to great lengths to save this whale, yet did nothing for poor, defenseless cattle. At least, I hope that was the point
An excellent link, shows all the facts, scientific research in regards to how life is started, etc.:

(what they are not telling you)
Actually, He just promised not to do it by a flood. THe next return to balance in one fell swoop will be at the second coming, and I do not want to think about what will happen to the abortionists then.
The Canaanites were driven out of their land by Israel partially because of their use of child sacrifices. Is there any difference between sacrificing a child to Molech and sacrificing a child to convenience?
Only the euphamisms.
Considering that the Canaanites believed that they were "buying" protection from their enemies with the child sacrifices, protection for the whole community, I think what they were doing was less horrible than killing a child for someone's convenience! Yet God judged them severely, what's in store for our country?
I couldn't help remarking to my wife that if they had spent that much time, energy, and money on people, they might have saved half a dozen human lives. It's a twisted world were they are so willing to kill babies, pull the plug on those in comas, and defend pedophile murderers instead of the victims, yet they will spare no expense or effort to save a non-human creature.
Was that Humphrey?
Mom MD - I agree that, as I mentioned, God's mercy will eventually yield to justice if mankind doesn't taken upon himself to change his ways. I have a problem, however, with prognosticating this as an imminent event. How many hundreds of millions of souls were slaughtered at the hands of communism in the USSR, China, N. Korea, Indochina, etc.? Did their blood not equally cry out to the heavens for justice? Soviet communism fell (though it's still lingering with Putin), but the other entities are still committing their inhumanity without impunity.
Perhaps it would be better to call it a perfect storm of evil, with abortion, totalitarian communism, and the threat of nuclear terrorism as the symptoms of man's wholesale turning away from God in the 20th century. That's pretty much undebatable. But there's just no way to know the depth of God's patience and mercy. That's all I'm saying.
Yep.
