- I wouldn't call it 'being led astray'. You're being confronted with
- reasoning that you've never explored before, and points of view that
- the people you usually associate with tend to avoid. You're only 'led
- astray' if you blindly follow whatever reasoning sounds good at the
- moment. What you _should_ do is examine what you read here, be a
- skeptic, decide if the views you read in this newsgroup are or aren't
- what you yourself believe, and decide how your heart tells you to
- respond to the issues here.

- Let me just remind you that this is the United States -- we enjoy
- separation of church and state. Not everybody in this great land is
- Christian (I know I'm not). I wouldn't want you telling me how I
- should run my life any more than you would want me telling you how to
- run your life; while I understand how much pro-life means to you, I'd
- suggest that it's a religious position _only_ and has no place in
- politics.
