"If an unwanted pregnancy is an act of God, then impotency must be an act of God."

IN state Rep. Bartlett (D) introduces an amendment to the anti-abortion bill to outlaw erectile dysfunction drugs: "We're forcing young girls to be mothers, but not forcing the men to be fathers ... If an unwanted pregnancy is an act of God, then impotency must be an act of God."

ignorance are right-wingers. To me that means that they should pay the price, not all men.

I'll go a step farther and propose that supportive men should be rewarded with more sex ☮

You have cancer? Well, it's gods will, so no drugs for you.

You had a heart attack? It's gods will, sorry.

Which is why NOTHING should be considered to be gods will. It's an artificial construct that people use to push their own agendas.

Besides, there is no god.

"If you are really unsure about whether or not something is God's will, seek counsel from mature spiritual people who walk with the Lord. You are not meant to make all decisions by yourself. Ask someone who is more experienced than you if what you are thinking about sounds like God's will. Ask them to pray about it."

OK - whatever you say.

Used that against the "Gods will " people (some in my own family). So is a stroke, cancer, liver failure, infertility, aneurysms and on an on and on. And I end with, but I guess you don't mind circumventing God's will when it suits you, you heathen!
