Abortion

Just like everything else, it is a decision; if the child is born, the woman decides many things such as the name of...

Is cleanliness next to godliness?

For as long as I can remember, I have heard the phrase that 'cleanliness is next to godliness.' If 'cleanliness' means washing one's hands after using the toilet, and 'godliness' means being closer to God, I contend there is no correlation. I wash my hands every time, and am no closer to God. What say you?...
