YOU happened because of your parent's sex drive. Is that "bad?"
Depends. I'm not saying I believe this, I'm just using logic. Every person conceived becomes another soul who could potentially burn in hell for not choosing Jesus. If aborted babies do go to heaven, then by that reasoning, abortion isn't murder but mercy.
Besides, we now have other means to procreate without intercourse.

And every person born could be the next Billy Graham and lead millions to Christ. Abortion could stop a major evangelist leading a revival of people back to the Lord like the revivalists of years ago. Abortion is never,ever mercy. Its murder,always.

Quote "I just want people to be recognized for what they've done"
If you're a Christian,truly following the Lord you don't do anything for the recognition. Totally against what the Bible teaches.Don't let your left hand know what your right hand does.
Quote"Besides, I think most people who become Christians only do it because of the fire-insurance, not because they really love people."
You are judging peoples hearts and intentions. People have given their lives to serve the Lord,have gone to prison,have gone to the mission fields. People have suffered for the gospel,have you?
Quote "If there was no heaven, no anything, after death, would it really be worth it?"
But there is and you better be sure which side you're on.
I didn't say I want recognition. I couldn't care less if I never got any, because I never did anything that isn't different or more important than anyone else.
No, I haven't been through anything like that, and I never wish that for anyone. I just want life on this planet to matter. And I do know which side I'm on.
I'm just not exactly looking forward to floating around forever and missing everything that makes life good.

Friends and family for one thing. But if you love everyone else the same way then, what's the point?
I like to travel, but the farthest I've ever been from home is three states away.
I'm also the adventurous type, but a) I don't have enough money, and b) I don't have any opportunities because I have a full time job.

This is one of the reasons I am so opposed to the obsession with the concept of a "Rapture."
We (the run of our lives) are each important in some way.... or we would not have been born. Killing a baby eliminates the contribution that specific life would have made to the world. In the same way, just hoping for a "Rapture" bail-out keeps many people from striving to build a life and family.. a future concern and awareness, for God. They seem to get to thinking, "Who cares, as long as I get out of here when that trumpet blows."
What is the ONE thing Jesus cared about more than anything else? (I will wait for your answer to that before I continue) If you think about it, and answer as the Bible showed us, then you may begin to see why each opportunity at living is important.

Quote "Then, from your line of thinking, God is no different from the parent who shoves his child down a flight of stairs just so he can comfort him. Or the boyfriend who sends a gang of thugs after his girlfriend so he can go rescue her."
Trials give birth to character,you're too young to understand that yet. Corrie Ten Boom lost her family in the Holocaust and went on to lead many to the Lord through her testimony. The Bible talks about coming forth as pure gold. The Bible also says to take up your cross and follow Him. Jesus was crucified,all His disciples,except one,became martyrs. We weren't promised a life of ease.
Quote " have read Job, and apparently all God is willing to say is "screw you, I'm right, you're wrong."
If thats what you got from reading Job proves you are a very immature Christian. But you're young yet. God,in the end, was saying to Job "my ways are beyond your understanding".
I saw a video the other day of a fawn struggling in a pit of thick mud. It couldn't get out no matter how hard it tried.It was dying.Someone saw the poor fawn and got an excavator and dug away the deep mud around it. Then,very gently, they took the fawn up out of the mud using the machine.The fawn was so exhausted from struggling it didn't fight,it just laid down and enjoyed the ride. Once on solid ground the fawn found its footing and was off to find its mother. Thats a picture of life.We don't know what God is doing,sometimes its painful,we don't like it be we don't see the future. We don't know what He has kept us from. We need to trust the One who knows. Its not easy,but we all have to learn it.

Read one of my earlier posts when I said that isn't the case for everyone. A much lesser known woman who lived through the Armenian genocide saw her father die brutally when she was only ten years old. She never got over it for the rest of her life.
