Mule Gives Birth
!splut writes "Thumbing it's nose as science, a Moroccan mule has given birth. Mules, hybrids between horse and donkey, are normally infertile, due to differences between the number and structure of horse and donkey chromosomes. Nevertheless, for reasons not well understood, fertile mules do occur, infrequently, with some 60 documented live births since 1527."
what does it mean, "i am a christian?" the problem is that a lot of people say "i'm a christian," and it means a lot of things. it means they supported the crusades. it means they supported the inquisition. it means they denied rights to irish catholics before irish independence. it means they killed american indians. it means acted as colonial powers. it means they stood silent while children were physically or sexually abused.
or does it mean none of those?
in my lifetime i've heard christians say fags must die - in boston a guy had a four foot high placard on his car proclaiming that gays will burn in hell. i've heard christians berating single mothers - and i saw the hurt look in the eyes of my single mother. i've seen them hover over poorly performing college students hoping to convince them to drop out and join their church. i've seen them try to stop stem cell research. i've seen them try to stop a 13 year old rape victim from getting an abortion. i've seen them shout abuse at women going to an abortion clinic. i've heard them explain that white people were created and blacks evolved.
very few christians supported all of those things, but a lot of christians supported some of them.
so.
which christian are you?
