I haven't heard anything about Schindler's List being inaccurate historically. If it was criticized I missed it. But for the most part, movies dealing with historical topics have offensive inaccuracies. Pearl Harbor and Titanic in particular were criticized by some as offensive because they took a tragic/important event and turned it into sap and commercialized it.

Perhaps if the movie was done by Schindler's List it would be okay. But there should be no fictional story told. It should be straight documentation, real people.

The fact that the questions "Do you believe in bombing abortion clinics?" and "Do you believe in other hate crimes?" were included in this survey or that people actually said yes to them.

What kind of world do we live in where ignorance can blind people into believing that hurting others is right?

Well the question was: Do you believe in God (the Christian God)?

These 47% that shock you so much could be of any religion. They could be atheist, could be Buddhist, Muslim, or something else.

========== In Reply To ========== I am shocked that more people have stated that they do not beilieve in God. When I looked at the numbers it was 47%. Fellow Christians we have alot of work to do... I would be interested to find out what these 47% believe in. I wonder how they think they go here. Surely they don't believe that there was a loud bang and then poof we all appeared.

That phrase should say Pro-Choicers are annoyed with Pro-Lifers pushing their beliefs without scientific foundation.

It will never be resolved for one major reason: Pro-Choice people always equate the views of Pro-Lifers as religious, and therefore they say Pro-Lifers are advocating a dissolution to this country's separation of church and state philosophy. (Although the common phrase "God bless America" isn't exactly a separation of church and state, now is it?) We live in a fallible country with an extremely fallible government. But the thing is that the views of Pro-Lifers aren't necessarily a religious thing; it's a moral thing and problem of science. Science says that a fetus is not a living organism because it can't survive without the mother, therefore it's not murder. So this whole topic is moot until we Pro-Lifers can prove scientifically that a fetus is just as much a human being as a baby brought to full term. I believe abortion is morally and ethically wrong, but trying to push your beliefs on someone else without scientific proof (especially in America, we're the most damn stubborn people in the world when it comes to freedom of opinion) isn't going to do any good.

I know I'm equating pro-life beliefs with religion with my next statement, but I'm trying to prove a point. Pushing off the belief of pro-life is the same as a religious evangelist. I find offense at the blatant push of Christians all over America to throw Jesus in our faces. If an Asian-American that was Buddhist was constantly bombarding you with Buddha phraseology and asking for donations, would you be annoyed? Probably. The same holds true for this issue. Pro-Lifers are annoyed with Pro-Choicers pushing their beliefs without scientific foundation and vice versa. We need to stop talking about "it's wrong in the eyes of God" and prove that a fetus is a life, or we'll never get them to see how wrong abortion is.

If I offended anybody with this, I apologize. But I find it really all does boil down to what I've said.
