Yes, I can be deep.

While hanging out with the lads, one of them mentions something about a friends wife working for a church and says that there's not much money in that if they want to start a family and I remark she may not be wealthy financially, but at least she's rich spiritually.

For a second they looked at me oddly. Apparently they couldn't tell if I was being serious or not and I assured them I was.

I happen to have a great deal of respect for people who are at peace with themselves spiritually and it doesn't matter how they choose to attain it, short of human/animal sacrifice that is.

If someone happens to find it through religion, then that's cool with me.
Seems like there's a big bia against Christians in general. If you dare mention that you are a practicing "C-word" they you're immediately looked upon as some ultra religious moron, casting anyone and everyone to hell if they look at the street cross eyed.
Sheesh, I have friends who sigh loudly, roll their eyes and start ranting and bitching about how intolerant and awful Christians are... i don't think they realize the irony in that.

I have quite a few friends who are devote christians and they're the coolest people I know, particularly because they don't try to push their beliefs on me. THAT'S when I have a problem. I don't like having anything forced on me, whether it be religion, coupons or women's rights(haha).

Back to my friends' reactions... I guess they're so used to me mocking and ridiculing various things, they expected me to call this girl a loser or an idiot... quite the contrary.

People are also surprised that I'm Pro-Life... again, the preconception of pro-lifers are half crazed people picketing and bombing abortion clinics and of course condemning all involved straight to hell.

I know a lot of people who have actually had abortions, some of them are friends of mine, but I guess I'm a "conservative Pro-Lifer" because I have no desire to condemn any of them to hell. They are my friends after all.

However, I have NO sympathy for people who just can't or won't figure out how to use any kind of birth control and use the abortion option AS their method of birth control which is pretty stupid when you think about it. Why would anyone choose having a vaccum chop up and suck out fetus parts out of them while bleeding like a stuck pig or take one of those abortion pills that pretty much makes you miscarry which isn't a very pleasant experience either when all they have to do is unravel a simple piece of rubber?

I'm not too keen on late term abortions either... Sorry, but aborting a seven month unborn baby is just sick.

If I was ever faced with an unplanned pregnancy I would do the right thing and book the first flight to Canada and live a new life as a lumberjack. I considered Mexico, but let's face it... it's a loser country. Why else are they killing themselves to get the fuck out?? Anyway, I'll be known as Jaque St. Pierre, The Great Black hope of the Great White North.
I certainly wouldn't advocate that the girl get an abortion because that's just selfish!
