Thanx for the link's Infidel ... A first I heard of the proposal to gvmnt fund all abortion/ contraceptive's in France too. I have mentioned before that I actually would like to see this in America, I think it is VERY VERY importante in this 21st century, one of the MOST importante issue's to me, and I also wrote my reason's for such ... and I AM "PRO- LIFE" ... being in the sense of course that I love "life". But this kind of thing is importante to alot more countries than especially France, I wont mention name's here, because it may offend some sensitive reader.
Cant say I recall ever seeing a Morman ritual/ service or whatever the name of them are, so I cant tell you if it's authentic, although I would lean toward's thinking it is authentic because of the amount of boredom I felt having to watch it ... I can tell ya about satanic ritual's, because I attended so many, I cant even recall how many ... and frankly they were a Hell of alot more exciting and sensual! I noticed in the beginning seeing a line of Longhorn steer, which made me wonder if it was in Texas or somethin?, maybe it's part of their symbolic's, aesthetic's or somethin?
Later Infidel ....
I'm also borrowing that link Infidel to the RT abortion piece, credit to you of course.
RC: Yeah, most religious rituals are pretty dull. No one would be interested in watching if it weren't kept so rigidly secret -- sort of like the "banned in Boston" effect.
