Many of you have written asking that we post reader responses, both positive and negative. So each month we'll post letters from friends (and letters from faux.) We will omit personal information from the postings in most cases.

I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed your website.

just came across your web site. what a hoot! so refreshing! lotsa yuks! will notify friends and relatives!

Loved your computer religion quiz! You're so right! I really hate showing up for services and finding that everyone there is *not* wearing the appropriate outfits!

I think that this is a very well written website. I have just gotten back from visiting abortion.com and I read a story about another woman who a pro-abortion. (Faye, guestbook, record #77) her story really moved me from being pro-life to pro-choice. I think that people don't understand what the woman has to go through the moment that she gets pregnant. I am also happy to see someone who looks at the Bible and sees it for what it really says and NOT for what they want it to say. Thank you lots. Oh, and in response to the quote of the week, the Holy Spirit would never answer such a prayer. I believe that HE is good and loving and most certainly that he forgiving. I hope that he forgives the author of that quote.

RE: Which Religion is Right for Your Complexion? You misspelled EPISCOPALIAN (not Episcopalean) Otherwise, very funny.

This may sound strange but I thought your website was real funny and if you have any more funny things, do you think you can forward me some? Just remember, don't take certain things for granted. And who modeled for your porn shots? Keep up the holy humor.

I have been fumbling around in your sight for over six months and really enjoy reading your articles. I especially enjoy taking any of the quizzes you may pose, or even "finding my color." Thank you for taking the time to put together such an insightful website.

Thanks for the info. I'm interested in this topic [abortion], but I feel it would be unfair to make a judgement since I have never had to deal with this personally.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your webpage. I thought that the points made about the bible and what it says about abortion were excellent. It just goes to show you that using the bible is not always the best way to go about things.

Firstly, I would like to thank you for continuing to produce a rather amazing web-site. As usual, it's filled with interesting articles and insights into the bible which help me day-to-day.

Thanks in advance. we shal no longer be sexually repressed by the fear of sexuality. we will be free to flirt and play as we wish.

Bravo!! One of the very best sites on the web! Although I disagree with a very few things you have to say, I greatly appreciate any opinion or belief that is well thought out and (redundantly) not just the blind acceptance of a party line. Which reminds me, who really wants to be like sheep? Not me! I always found that concept an insult.

Do you adminster this site all by yourself?

PS Nice hooters!

I believe what your saying is true. Everyone uses the bible as a source to determine if abortion is a sin or not. When I discuss abortion the bible is always brought up about how God's said its a sin. And if you do have an abortion you will burn in hell. I'm glad someones out there who understands. Also you said Job 33:44, you made an error its Job 33:4.
Keep up the good work...

I want to thank you for your site. Because I am Native American, and was reared in that tradition, I've been accosted by more people claiming to be Christians than not. My fears were somewhat allayed upon my first and subsequent visits to your page.

I guess the point of this e-mail is to pose a question: If the creator didn't have a sense of humor, why would he/she create humans at all and create us with an ability to laugh? The stodginess of many Christians would lead me to believe they've forgotten how to laugh at themselves, but the cruelty of their remarks and inhumanity shows me they've never forgotten how to laught at and mock others. You bring it all into focus so well. Thank you.

If a child can not take a breath of life on their own then there is no way that this baby is "alive". The fact that the heart is beating when a the fetus is at 6 weeks does not mean that if the mother was to die that they baby could go on living. Further more if the mother does not want the baby then the baby might as well have been aborted anyway because it will never be loved. What about the quality of life? If a child is found that they will not be able to ever live in the world without their parents protecting him then what sort of a life would that be? No matter where people look to support their beliefs the fact still remains that it is the woman's body. She should be able to make the desision about the body inside of her.

I'm still not decided on the issue, and although I'm not a Christian, your article helped. Thanks.

I am a sophomore in high school, a Catholic high school, and for my term research paper I have to do work on the issues of abortion. I found your page sooo helpful because this is probably the most frequently asked question. Thank you for the reference; for my research paper, it is definitley an asset.

I am a 17 year old girl and I am worried about abortion. I am from Ballarat in Victoria and if any unwanted pregnancies occur, there is no where for a young teeenage girl to go and have an abortion. I would like something to be done and abortions should be available to every young girl who wants one!
