Such an amazing thread.

I was sickened and disturbed by the testimonials/comments in the initial post, but in the end, it had become one of the most sincere, respectful and intelligent threads I've seen on FreeRepublic.

Although I'm an agnostic, basically pro-life in the personal sense(I still don't believe the government can intervene with non-born life until it becomes viable), and I DO see the world in basically black and white terms. Maybe I've been changed by the people in my life and what I've seen here on FR, but I live my life as many of you do, but without a literal belief in a Jesus or Siva or anything of that sort.

I tend to agree with Chimpanzee on a lot of levels, or at least on the basic questions he was asking and assertions he was challenging.

In Judaism one is SUPPOSED to question God, even the existence of God, because you weren't given senses, reason and intelligence for no reason. Thomas Jefferson also pointed out the contradiction in not utilizing one's gifts for what is the greatest decision/choice of all--that related to God and how one will live their life.
