Cool Reason

Here's some excellent discourse on, basically, the question I ended up leaving the good folks at "Southern Appeal" with, one post ago.

The idea of the bible being "the inerrant word of god" seems to me to be at the actual foundation of the abortion debate. If one person thinks abortion is murder and another thinks it's not, well, then there is going to be intense debate. That's alright. But if the first person also thinks that their opinions derive from (translated) text they consider to be "the inerrant word of god," well, loggerheads'll come quickly and more heatedly.

Thanks again to the fine One Good Move.
