<<I feel strongly that abortion is a woman's right. It is not a tactic.>>

Sure it is. Why else would you bring it up, or bring up religion for that matter? You don't want to focus on the points addressed to you. It's a tactic. If it's not then follow through in what you suggested earlier. Agree to disagree. Don't bring it up again and use as you have here. Move on. There will be other things to disagree on. As you've said, you're trying to have it both ways.

Dear NNS,

I feel you are posting in good faith. Please give me the same credit. I maintain the right to legal abortion is a human right.

As far as your contention that I support unrestrained sexuality you are right. I think there is too much sex in advertising and too little in reality. What consenting adults or teenagers do to each other in the way of sex is nobody else's business as long as there is adequate contraception and concern for the spread of disease.

Your actions are what you are know by. If you don't want to be known for tactics then don't use it as such. Also, it helps if you actually live up to what you say. I didn't bring up the idea of agree to disagree. That was your idea on Thursday June 27th at 7:20:02 AM. "I don't think further discussion will change the opinion of either of us. Let us agree that we both think we are right and will never agree in the case of abortion." Of course you only said no further discussion is needed after making a statement on women's rights yourself and having your say for abortion. All I did was say ok, but this is only if you mean it and not to use it again whenever it suits you.

As for you thinking I am a monster, don't play dumb. Are these not your own words?

"However, to me you represent the evil side of Christianity the part that wants to control others, that would ban things, that is against woman’s rights, that is against democracy and that is intolerant."

Either way time to move on. If you mean none of this as a tactic, then know that you used it as such, whether you meant to or not. Do better in the future if you want to be known as writing in good faith. Or don't. The choice is yours.

Dear NNS,

Christians have an adage: Hate the sin. Love the sinner.

I shall try it.

I shall hate the sin of Christianity.

I shall love the sinner who is you.

Dear NNS,

We keep posting each other. Do you want to tell me more about yourself and your path through life? Do you want me to tell you more about myself and my path through life? At 93 I am reflecting on my life and trying to learn from it. You may be doing the same. We apparently feel very differently about religion. We can explore why we feel very differently. Do you want to do that?

To David f.

It'd be good to get to know each other, outside of everything we disagree on. I would like to know about your life. If you want to hear about mine I'd share it. How big is your family? You have kids and grandkids. You must be proud. How you've talked about your granddaughter studying medicine, I know you're proud of her. I would like to have a family of my own too. Do you have brothers and sisters you grew up with? I am 36, two older brothers and a wife. It'll be 5 years in a month. No luck with kids yet. Though we both want to be parents, it might not be up to us.
