Many of you have written asking that we post reader responses, both positive and negative. I usually toss the negative mail so most of these are from the Abortion is Not a Sin web page. I'll start saving the general negative responses to post here. Do check out the

I am a Christian young lady and am very disgusted and appalled of the audacity of your website. This is very blatant sacrilege. Please, please atleast change the name of your page. I will pray for you. God Bless.
Many of your scriptures are taken out of context, and if you put either the whole verse in or put the proceeding verse as well as the following verse, the actual verse would be more understandable and not taken the wrong way. Maybe you should do more research and more studying before you make such an ignorant and opinionated website.
To whom it may concern @ Miss Poppy's clan...
As a graduate student and WIFE (yes, traditionally married), and
MOTHER (I chose to accept GOD's gift of life), I consider myself to be
an open-minded, educated woman of the 90's. When I came across your
website (my sister suggested I read the horrendous disgusting smut
that is currently on the net), I was appalled and honestly sad.
Although I believe in free speech, it depresses me that individuals
such as yourselves would even have the gall to promote such INCORRECT
smut. YOU have nothing to base your so-called shock-jock propaganda on.
May the LAMB of God have mercy upon you. For JESUS CHRIST is LORD. I pray:"in the name of Jesus, please put in the life of this individual reading my message, the hope that can be found only in your Grace. Have mercy upon his/her soul. And in the name of Jesus Christ rebuke all evil. Amen!"
i'll be praying for you all,you are so mixed up,when you talked about children you used the old law ,everywhere else you use the new law ,you have no ideal about the bible,and i can stand before god an take the judgement for what i just judge you for that's the new law.Matt 7:2 ,may god bless you
I READ YOUR NC-17 BIBLE ON THE INTERNET AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR
MOTIVES. THE WAY YOU TOOK THINGS OUT OF CONTEXT, ALTHOUGH INTENTIONALLY TO PROVE A POINT, MAY CAUSE PEOPLE LOOKING FOR RESOURCES IN THE BIBLE TO SUPPORT THEIR SINFUL INCLINATIONS. PEOPLE WHO HAVE MURDEROUS THOUGHTS MAY LOOK TO YOUR SITE FOR GUIDANCE AND FIND YOU WRITING VERSES THAT SUPPORT THEIR IDEAS. THIS MAY GIVE THEM A SENSE THAT GOD THINKS IT IS OKAY. NOT EVERYBODY IS VERSED IN THE WORD OF GOD. HAD I NOT READ YOUR "ABOUT THE AUTHOR" ICON AND DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE BIBLE; I WOULD WONDER MYSELF. I WILL PRAY FOR YOU,
CONCERNED CHRISTIAN
God has a special place for people who mis-read and mis-use His word the way you have. Killing, in any form, is forbidden by His Commandment. What makes you think that killing a baby in utero is any different from killing someone who is already born? Unfortunately, you will not know the extent of your "wrongness" until you die and when you get to Hell, you will say a very loud OOOPS!
Let me tell you something. I do not believe that God is in favor of abortion , and I think that you are foolishly sick minded to believe so. A human life is living at the moment of conception because it was alive BEFORE it came to earth , and to feel like you have the right to decide whether that life lives or dies is wrong. If you don't want the responsibility of carrying a child don't put yourself in that position.Keep your legs closed or use a form of birth control.However don't try to justify murder by pretending that God is on your side.
This web site is just evil. The work of satan has entered your heart. The bible states that Jesus lives in everyone. Jesus is your soul, and this site really just shows the ignorance of the world. I will include you on my daily prayer lists, and think about you when I am in the presence of the Lord. Violence is not the answer to the problems you face, but I ask you please take the time to evaluate your prayer life again, but this time on the Lords level and not the level of the worldly evils.
Regarding the comment posted in "Reader Quote of the Week" on Fri. May 29th, 1998 "Holy Spirit Rip You to Shreds". I don't know who this ignorant so-called Christian is, but his theology is a bit out of whack. Although I disagree with the information posted on the website, I am always open to hearing the ideas and opinions of other parties. I am not an expert on abortion so I can't counter-argue your points. I am pro-life, but I know that everyone is still entitled to their own opinions. However, as a spirit filled believer, I was apalled at this gentleman's terrible testimony for the Lord. The Holy Spirit is a part of the Trinity (God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit) and therefore responds not out of hatred but in love and compassion. He does convict people, but never out of rash judgment. One more correction, Salvation comes through Jesus Christ alone, not the Holy Spirit; He is merely the comforter to those who believe. My prayer for this gentleman is that the Holy Spiri! t would work in his life and produce the compassion and love for others that Christ showed through his life. Thank you, Cliff Ford
Read the bible pal! Sexual sin which is all sex outside of marriage is condemned over and over in the old and new testiment! Sex perverts shall not inherit the kingdom of God! (I Cor 6:9-11) Remember there is a way that seems righyt to a man but it's end is in distruction. You are following your own hearts and not the bible, but the bible teaches that the heart of man is desperately wicked! Please! wise up and repent!
I will fervently pray for the forgiveness of this sorry man. Hell was created for such people, and hopefully enough prayers will make him come to realize that the blind often lead the blind into predicaments such as these.
How can you tell people to walk with Jesus when you are denying a child or as you like to say 'fetus' the chance to grow and know Jesus as his or her Savior. This 'fetus' never gets the chance to walk as Jesus because it is killed.
I am very sorry you are so lost. I pray the Holy Spirit will open you eyes and heart to the Truth. (whoever posted the "rip you apart" comment below was a little out of line.) Thanks for the opportunity to respond.
This page is a joke!! I am astonished that you can actually lie to yourselves and use your sorry misinterpretation of the bible to calm yourselves to sleep each night.
If you believe in God, which you must since you're quoting the bible, do you really think that he'd allow a woman to be pregnant and then want her to kill it?? You think the fetus has no soul?? So when, oh grand guru of all that is living, does the soul enter the body??
In this country, we have rights. If I wanted to kill someone right now, I'd be able to. BUT to each wrong action, there is a consequence. Do you think that a mother can truely justify her murdering an innocent life with these vague quotes?! I certainly hope not. There is NO GOOD REASON FOR KILLING A BABY!!!!!!!!!!
I believe that if a mother has an abortion, she should be tried in court for murder. It would end a lot of needless slaying of our nations most priceless, yet most hated resource, the unborn baby.

A person may take passages from parts of the Bible and put
them together to make it say whatever they wish, Pro-Life or
Pro-Choice. The one will always claim the other has twisted
the truth. But I am pregnant and when I feel small
little hands and feet hitting my stomach, by the CHOICE of
it's OWN little mind, I don't care whether abortion is a "sin"
or not. Whether or not this fetus has a "soul" yet I don't know,
but putting an end to this little life is wrong somehow.
Tell me a place in the Bible where it says to end a life
is good. And don't give me one where it refers to an enemy.
When is a little fetus an enemy?

You are entitled to your own opinion, but your perception of the scriptures that you used were wrong. It says that God created us mind and body in our mother's womb. Why would you want to stop something from God. God is a loving God and does not wish to hurt his children.(God loves all, believers and non-believers) Sure it doesn't say in the bible that abortion is or is not a sin. But doesn't it have to. It says very clearly that we should not kill. Life startes at conception. If you don't believe me then use this example. Look at a fetus as a flower. Inside the womb the fetus grows and develops. (the plant grows and we can see it.) At birth we see what has been developing for so long. (the flower blomes) Now if you see this plant growing into a beautiful flower, you know that the plant is living before the flower blomes, so why kill it. WHY KILL A BABY IN THE WOMB WHEN YOU KNOW IT'S ALIVE?!?

What's this with a "hypothetical baby"? Did she get hypothetically pregnant by having hypothetical unprotected sex??? AND Maybe living in denial will get all of you by on earth but I hope you are prepared to GET BURNED!!!
This is so truly pathetic. I can only hope that one day people really understand the Bible. The PCKU (Pro Choice for Killing the Unborn) will do anything to justify the atrosity of murder.
Animals are alive, but do they have souls? As far as I can tell, no, but we protect their lives. Why do you say that a living, growing fetus isn't a living human being. EVEN if God doesn't give us a soul until after we are born, shouldn't we do everything in our power to see that that child isn't destroyed? Why would God knit or form a child only to have it be destroyed?
Hi Poppy, I wrote to you yesterday, before I got to read the other peoples responses to this page. I am very disapointed. Not only are the toughts in this page warping your mind, they are also doing so to others. I prey no one takes you seriously. I also agree with someone who said that If you can justify murder surely you can justify all other sins. The only person you have to convince is Jesus.

May God have mercy on your soul and may you, once you see the truth, beg for forgiveness.

i feel that people should not get abortions, they should not get their self in the situation to have to get one. they should be protecting theirself.

Praying for you that your eyes and ears will be opened and you will see the error of your interpretation of God's Word.
Hello,
I am a born-again follower of Jesus Christ. I hold a high respect
for God and His truth...however, your web-page does not. It will
confuse a lost person more than anything. I know that humor is from
God, but not blasphemous jokes. "Nor should there be obscenity, foolish
talk or coarse joking, which are out of placel, but rather
thanksgiving." (Ephesians 5:4) I am sure that your joking has confused
many lost people. Why do you joke so much? Is God not a serious God?
There is a time to joke and a time to be serious. Why do you joke so much about fellow Christian brothers and sisters? Is it pride? Are you above reproach? I rebuke you because you say you are Christian, therefore as a brother in Christ I know that "Better is open rebuke than hidden love." (Proverbs 27:5) I hope you will read this email to all of your staff, or at least the Scripture contained in it to all of your staff.
Go ahead and have a ball with the site....just remember; For every single word written within, you will give an account of it when you stand before Jesus Christ. Have a nice day.
YOU TRULY ARE A SICK HUMAN BEING. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL.
I think you have cross over the fine line of decency. The bible says,"Touch not God's Anointed.". Poking fun at God and his anointed ministers will result in ruin to those who participate. I know you are only having fun, but consider the consequences. Wise up. Get a life. God gives you the right to choose. I agree. But who in the world wants to slap a good gift in the face. Jesus was the perfect gift. He died as a perfect man. He never sinned. However, he took upon himself our sins and paid the agonizing consequences. He allowed soldiers to whip him 39 times with flesh being ripped off his back. He endured the pain for you. He will even forgive you now. The bible says,"He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" That s right! He forgives. How many of your acquantances do. "If thou shall confess Jesus Christ as the the son of God , thou shalt be saved". Saved from what? SAved from a life of sickness, anxiety, poverty, and eternal hell. Sounds like a good deal to me. Choose you today whom you will serve! Jesus Loves You! Seek first the kingdom of God, and all these promises of the bible will be added unto you. What promises. Dig into the word of God. You will see. I made a decision to serve God when I was 19. I paartied with all my friends, Got drunk, high , whatever. I was never satisfied though. Jesus is the only thing that ever filled the void in my life. Got to go. God loves you and so do I. If I didn't care, I would not have spent 20 minutes to write to you.
This website is truly horrid. Why you would want to spread the trash and lies that you are spreading is beyond me. Why you want people to think it is ok to murder unborn babies is putrid. I am appauled and disgusted. I will pray for you!!! You need help. (){:)
I AM WRITING YOU AS ONE CHRISTIAN TO ANOTHER TRYING TO BRING WHAT I BELIEVE IS THE TRUTH OF GOD TO YOU. YOU ARE TOTALLY WRONG ON THIS ISSUE [homosexuality] I HAVE READ THE TRACTS AND WOULD LIKE TO CORRECT YOU QUEERS FOR JESUS TRACT YES JESUS LOVES EVERYBODY, THAT DOES NOT MEAN IT IS NOT A SIN, GOD LOVES YOU NO MATTER WHAT
just curious, athiest??
thats your choice and you will answer to him one day, as we all will. we are not here by random chance(genesis 1:1) the bible scriptures are GOD breathed(2timothy 3:16, psalm 33:4,) GOD is the same today as he was thousands of years ago and we cannot conveinantly mold him into our world to fit our plan or ideas. context is vital when reading anything, anything!! from the newspaper to a childs book. when Jesus wept, do we assume that he is a cry baby? i challenge you to find 1, thats right 1 verse when read in context to be contradictary to another.
reading the bible in context in vital. by browsing your site, it is clear that you have not done so. picking and choosing verses, pouring your out of context meanings into them is easily seen thru. the bible warns about false teachers and deceivers in the world. there is no gray area in the bible when it comes to homosexuality.
To whom it may concern:
I find your website mean-spirited and bigoted.
I as a Christian must warn you that you are treading very dangerous ground and you will suffer eternal punishment for your blasphemy. The devil has obviously deceived you. Just remember that the devil is a defeated foe, and you are going down the tubes with him.
HAVE A WONDERFUL ETERNITY.
Thank you for your opinion. And not ALL pro-life "twist" bible verses for "political purposes" WHat good would that do for a 17-year old? If you study the bible enough, and hear enough responses, then you will notice that even atheists (?)can twist the bible passages to answer their questions. However, I have studied the Pro-abortion information and noticed they recognized the beating heart early on. You cannot honestly tell me that if you stopped a beating heart purposely, it is not murder. And even if you use the first breath, what about partial birth abortion? If the mother's did did not choose abortion and kill the almost delivered baby, not fetus, but baby, then they would survive. Abortion is saccreligious in my opinion in the fact that the mothers and doctors together decide when and if the child should live. Maybe instead of looking for a convenient and irresponsible way they should ask the good and luckily forgiving lord to shine on them and help them find a better alternative.
