  • No, it still isn't an alternative, because that girl might still think about her child (half is hers) and that she gave it up. Who knows where that kid would be? She might obsess over trying to find it later on in life. Honestly who knows (not me …

  • I agree with you SunBabyNJ. It is a lot easier to say or feel a certain way especially when your not the one in the position. With this topic I seem to go back and forth. With rape, it only seems human and logical to let the girl have the abortio…

  • Yeah Peter, that's what I thought, that it wasn't looked down upon. I live in a really Jewish community and they are all (and I mean all) married to their cousins because of their wealth. Unfortunately many many children come out with retardations…
  • I seriously doubt that. If they didn't approve of it, then they would have stopped it by now (they can do that). Also, if the Coptic Church didn't approve of it, why haven't I ever heard of any type of contradiction to the issue? Are you absolute…
  • I don't mean to sound too pessemistic, but maybe it was one of those times that the light went through the crystals of the chandeliers and it looked like a rainbow. It does happen, especailly with prisims, and churches usually have alot of them.
  • so I take it your pro-life?

  • That is very understandable, considering all the aspects involved. It's is a tough topic to form one solid opinion on.

  • I'm gonna have to agree with Mark423 on this one. If I did something and someone reffered to it as "disgusting" I would be offended. The point of this website and discussion is to express opinions with out hurting people. Keep in mind that marria…
  • Very good point Mark423! I never considered the point that society's norms could slowly but surely affect out Coptic community, not unlike the whole dating issue. Maybe we should try to keep abortion out of society in order to keep it out of our o…

  • The way I figure it, if I'm against abortion, I shouldn't participate in the act. But if the rest of society want's an abortion, why should anyone stop them? It does tend to give teenage girls a sense of irresponsibility. Basically they can do wh…

  • Oh, well, I told u I wasn't sure, lol. I'm not an expert in the Catholic religion. Thanks for the correction.
  • I think that it is nice to see such a passion of opinion coming from our Coptic Church and brethren. It is important to realize that each person has a conscience and those of us who are baptized have the Holy Spirit within us. Most of the time, th…
  • Hi, I know that this discussion is kinda old, but I'm new so.... Just want to say: Arabic is very very very hard to learn. I've been trying since as far back as I can remember and my parents have been trying to help with baby books and and alphabet…
  • Actually, in the Coptic Church, the priest will not marry a Catholic to a Coptic without baptism first. I am postive about this because I have seen 4 Catholic women get baptized in order to marry Coptic men from my church. Maybe it was just aboun…
  • fhhanna, you may have helped Mark, but i'm still not really convinced. I still say that this psalm is violent and mean. It says: let his children beg, let his wife be a widow and things of that sort. It is really disturbing. And how are u sure …
    in Psalms 109 Comment by mmhanna May 2004
  • I understand that it would be nice if we all celebrated on the same day, but, I think that it is nice to be special and different than everyone else (although it may be difficult at times). We wouldn't really be "orthodox" if we modernized/westerni…
  • Wow, SMS, u are sooo right about everything u said before and what u said just now (i'm new). Godisinmyheart, have u been reading all the things everyone has been saying? let me sum it up: Dating is BAD! And dading almost always leads to even wor…
