: (I was 17 -18) when I became pregnant her first words out of her mouth was get an abortion....
Wow. Definitely a case of situational ethics, no? I think again, people tend to not be so dogmatic when their beliefs are challenged. It's very easy to sit back and say oh abortion is a sin until you're faced with the situation.
: also my ex husband *then bf* lives in a very narrow minded small community and I stopped going to church the day I heard someone comment that it was sinfull i appeared in church with a pair of jeans on....
This I've just never understood. Sure, it says in the Bible that you're not to wear the clothing of another gender. Let's just ignore for a moment that it also says not to eat shellfish, and that you must stone adulteresses in the village square. At the time Jesus was alive, it was de rigeur for men to wear loose robes and skirts. Thus all these pants and tie-wearing men are in VIOLATION, no?
Anyways...thanks for your input.
