No. Living is always more difficult than dying. Compassionate murder is still murder.

There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for.

Ballard is a wonderful writer, and the story is worth reading.

"But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace." 1 Cornthians 7:15

Thank you 👍

I don't know about this particular case, but courts often do this to deter people from taking their case's to trial. The court system would collapse if everyone took their case to trial. They depend upon people taking plea deals. It's a problem.

"Oh, I'm charged with XY and Z. I know I'm guilty of X, but not Y and Z. But I don't want to know what will happen to me if I fight the charges. I'll plead guilty to all of it (plea bargain) and just live with it."

How about The Rolling Stones? "Stray Cat Blues", if I remember the title correctly.

Show me scripture to support that.

Show me the scripture.

Why would you pray to anyone but Jesus for intercession?

You feel like you can't go to Jesus, so you go to his mom in the hopes that she'll ask him for you? Lol

I'm not nit picking. I'm reading the verses as they're written.

By no means am I an expert on Catholicism, but there are pretty glaring issues with it that are hard to overlook.

Catholics deify Mary. They pray to saints. They call preachers "Father". They have confessional. Etc.

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time."

1 Timothy 2:5-6

"But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ."

Mathew 23:8-10

Lots of people end up hating their tattoos and never bother to have them removed.

Because, whatever a judge's personal feelings toward a defendant may be, he or she is only there to uphold the law as it is written, which cannot possibly account for all the nuances present in any given case.

It's the "hidden hand".

Or, he just had an itch in that particular spot at the exact moment the phot was being taken.

"Your teeth are oppressively perfect."

As tempting as that is, it's just that - a temptation. We deal with things in a Godly manner. Godly men don't torture other human beings, regardless of how much we may feel that they deserve it.

I absolutely hate that everyone speaks in obscure acronyms these days.

Christian extremist?

You mean, an actually Christian nation?

MTG is hot. That's all I know about her.

What's the back of his head like?

I think the front of his head, otherwise known as his face, looks like a combination of Richard Nixon and Jack Nicholson.

His laugh is maniacal.

Something I think people underestimate about blue beam is how convincing it might be. Most of us seem to be operating under the assumption that we'll immediately know it for a fraud when we see it.

Despicable traitors.

Brothers may be misinformed but they ain't stupid. Blacks hate the government about as much as white people should.

AND GOD IS GOOD!!!

Crawling to conclusions might be more thorough and leave less room for error, but jumping to conclusions is way more fun.
