[QUOTE="Shwhite, post: 1456347, member: 21721"] There's so many great and quotable passages from Screwtape that I love. I read this today and the words really grabbed at me, so I thought I'd share. "And all the time the joke is that the word ‘Mine’ in its fully possessive sense cannot be uttered by a human being about anything. In the long run either Our Father or the Enemy will say ‘Mine’ of each thing that exists, and specially of each man. They will find out in the end, never fear, to whom their time, their souls, and their bodies really belong—certainly not to them, whatever happens. At present the Enemy says ‘Mine’ of everything on the pedantic, legalistic ground that He made it: Our Father hopes in the end to say ‘Mine’ of all things on the more realistic and dynamic ground of conquest." One of the most common arguments pro-abortion women will use is, "It's MY body. MY choice." Everything we have and "own" is a gift from God and God only, but it is ultimately our choice to decide what to do with what we were given. God help us to make the right choices. [/QUOTE]
