I'm all moved in and everything is neatly put away. How nice to have a spanking clean apartment with everything in its place! You may recognize the decor as I have carefully found a place for everything and all my treasures are delicately displayed.
I had a lot to do, but the new apartment has built-in shelving in the tidy little living room, so as I unpacked I placed a few of my collectibles and pictures of myself from previous incarnations in well-arranged groupings on the shelves. Somehow it gave me the idea I might think of opening some sort of boutique as my visitors will undoubtably think they have walked into a high-end gift shop by mistake. Too bad all the closets are already full, and although I have almost
no clothes, they have yet to be sorted out and there are no more places to put them.
In a matter of minutes I'll have all this tucked away, the debris carted off, and I'll have a chic little dinner party for all my friends. I do hope you'll be able to join us.

Your new apartment looks great... reminds me of the movie REAR WINDOW.
The progressive massage needs to be heard and a logical arguement put forth.

Why Is Abortion Bad?
Someone recently took exception to my argument that "pro-life" Christians don't make sense when they proclaim that abortion is a terrible evil. But when you really think about it, why is abortion bad if the souls of aborted fetuses go to heaven?
Because these souls don't get the chance to live on Earth first? What's so terrible about that? Heaven is infinite and everlasting bliss. Life on Earth is hard. Even if you're rich, it's hard. For the poor, it can be hell. How many fetuses being carried by women planning to abort them are likely to end up anything but poor if they aren't aborted?
What's more, whether they end up being poor or rich or somewhere in between, what are their chances of going to heaven compared to their chances of going to hell? Doesn't the Bible in Matthew 7:13-14 quote Jesus as saying, "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."? What does this mean if not that most people go to hell and only a few go to heaven?
"Pro-life" Christians say that women who abort their fetuses are horribly selfish, but I disagree. I say that if a woman aborts her fetus believing that she could go to hell for it but does it anyway because she wants to ensure that her fetus' soul goes to heaven instead of hell, she is committing the most heroically selfless act possible. She is willing to be tortured unspeakably forever so that her child is guaranteed eternity in paradise. Not even Jesus' "sacrifice" on the cross begins to compare with this.
But even if a woman aborts her fetus for such "selfish" reasons as wanting to avoid the inconvenience of raising a child, she's still doing her fetus a tremendous favor. She's sending it to heaven instead of allowing it to go to hell. And if Christianity is nonsense and there is no heaven and hell, she's not denying her fetus anything it will miss, since it won't be around to miss it, and, in all likelihood, she'll be sparing it more suffering than happiness on this earth.
I really don't see what's bad about abortion, especially so long as it's done early in pregnancy. I wish there were far more abortions than there are, since I believe that many women who give birth do so not because they want to or can provide well for their offspring, but because they feel obligated or coerced to by religion and the "pro-life" crowd.
Are you in agreement with this ghoul?
No, but he or she is a persistent little bugger. I'll leave it up and see if the progressive massage provokes a logical argument By the way, are you the real slezak? I have my doubts.
Congratulations on your new place. Looking at all the stuff that needs to be put away, it does seem a bit overwhelming. But you'll get through it in no time. Welcome to the neighborhood and I wish you many happy and blessed years in your new abode. Take care. :)
Hmmm, need some I.D.?
