In fact my beliefs would brand me as an apostate with most Christians . However in an attempt to do as you asked i will simply point out that no Christian ( nor many other ) religions support, or endorse the homicide of females . In fact most if not all other religions abhor the mutilation of young females for any Farm.Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383613366815582389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990876628413018080.post-20784918662801401332009-02-15T10:19:00.000-06:002009-02-15T10:19:00.000-06:00I'm sure my rhetoric will be a bit smoother when I...I'm sure my rhetoric will be a bit smoother when I get over my 'flu ;)<BR/><BR/>I try not to be overtly against religion, but I do find it increasingly difficult as time goes on.
