A wide awakening
So I was sitting in class yesterday and we were having a debate about abortion and I am very much pro life but these two women were going back and forth and were starting to get hurtful. One lady was pro choice and one lady was pro life. The lady who was pro choice was posing the question on what to do in the situation of a woman being rapped or in the situation of death to the mother or child. The lady who was pro life would not see her side of it at all and was being very hurtful calling the lady a killer and all kinds of thing. Thinking that I could help with the situation I said "Well I can see both of your points of view and I think that all these things should be taken into consideration when determining whether or not abortion should be legal or illegal." Simple right? Well the lady who is pro life turned around and looked at me and said "All you atheists stick together." I was floored. This woman had no idea who I was or my background. I looked at her and informed her that I was in fact a Christian and she replied," well I couldnt tell by your words." I have been called a lot of names and none of them really has bother me that much but being called an atheist made me mad. If she is a Christian then who is she to judge me or this other lady? This why Christians have such bad names. Some of the meanest people I have met in my life have claimed to be a Christian and in the same sense some of the nicest and most caring people have been a self proclaimed atheist. All this just seems a little backwards to me.
