Quote (mikeboll64 @ Dec. 16 2011,13:36)Good thing God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son, instead of asking you, huh?I believe many people value human life much higher than what it should be.  It's like we're living in the pig pen, wallowing in feces, and just over the hill, out of our sight, is a beautiful mansion in a paradise garden.  But we w…[Read more]
