It seems to me that the more I learn, the more I see how little I really know. It's as if all my evidence, is really only evidence of ignorance.

Brief Thoughts on Hamlet [Act III Scene I Line 1814-]
sinners?...yet I could accuse 1815
me of such things that it were better my mother had not borne me.
I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious; with more offences at my
beck than I have thoughts to put them in, imagination to give
them shape, or time to act them in. What should such fellows as I
do, crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves all; 1820
believe none of us..."
The Tragedy Of Hamlet Prince Of Denmark [Act III Scene I Line 1814-]
How often have I looked upon myself in such dark misery? What light God has shed upon my sinful state? How shall I ever look upon myself and think of me ill when my salvation, my very self, was purchased at such high price, even by the blood of God Himself in the person of Jesus Christ!? How now shall I live? Not I say, as a man so tormented as he in whom my reflection used to lie. Nay! I shall continue on toward the prise of Christ that I may look in all my being liken to the gift of pardon I have been given. "What should such fellows as I do, crawling between earth and heaven?" I shall take up my cross, and run joyfully into the open arms of my loving Abba in whom I find my worth.

Impromptu Thoughts On Abortion
I may throw a wrench into things with this but this is what I believe to be true.
I think the question is a dodge; an attempt to rephrase the subject in such a manner thatis debatable. “Is that flesh alive?” or even “Does it have a soul?”, aren't really the question. The question should be “Can we prove that it's not alive?” It's not a matter of if it's dead; if it is, then we can't kill it let alone murder it. But can we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the fetus is not a human being with a soul whom we would be murdering to remove and tear apart? Is it reasonable, is it conscionable, to kill that which we can not be sure is dead? If they are right it doesn't matter. If they are wrong however, as most of us believe them to be, for admittedly religious reasons, then they are the worst of murderers and vile human beings who have committed the most heinous crime that can be committed against another human in the taking of a life which is not yet blemished by sins (sin nature is another issue) which has done you no wrong, and with no means of defending themselves. How can we look upon the holocaust and say that was evil and yet be blinded by cheap rhetoric and clever restatement of the issue when it comes to the murder of tens of thousands of innocent human lives. Will we be silent while the hammer of justice denies it's duty? No! We must climb the arm of the legislature, walk along the bridge of law, and jump upon the hammer of American justice until the hand that holds it up becomes too weary to with hold justice from those who deserve it.
