4. He was discussing abortion
and how some people believe life starts when a man "ejaculates and the sperm heads to the ova." He does not believe this.

5. I don't think I could possibly love him more.
He is God like to me. His compassion, his humanity. I adore the man. Always have.

7. Well, Jimmy admitted he has lust in his heart, so...
I'm not surprised he's willing to talk about ejaculation.

And yes, it's very okay!

14. Every human has it
To admit other wise would be lying. And I don't think Jimmy Carter is a lying man like Bush.

9. Is it love or are you lusting in your heart for him?
Hell I love Jimmy Carter too. Most decent man in the oval office in a long time.

18. April 2004 interview on that subject...
Carter's Crusade
Jimmy Carter explains how the Christian right isn't Christian at all.

(excerpt)

How do you think the fundamentalist Christian right has misrepresented Christianity, as well as the democratic process?

Well, what do Christians stand for, based exclusively on the words and actions of Jesus Christ? We worship him as a prince of peace. And I think almost all Christians would conclude that whenever there is an inevitable altercation -- say, between a husband and a wife, or a father and a child, or within a given community, or between two nations (including our own) -- we should make every effort to resolve those differences which arise in life through peaceful means. Therein, we should not resort to war as a way to exalt the president as the commander in chief. A commitment to peace is certainly a Christian principle that even ultraconservatives would endorse, at least by worshipping the prince of peace.

And Christ reached out almost exclusively to the poor, suffering, abandoned, deprived -- the scorned, the condemned people -- including Samaritans and those who were diseased. The alleviation of suffering was a philosophy that was enhanced and emphasized by the life of Christ. Today the ultra-right wing, in both religion and politics, has abandoned that principle of Jesus Christ’s ministry.

Those are the two principal things in the practical sense that starkly separate the ultra-right Christian community from the rest of the Christian world: Do we endorse and support peace and support the alleviation of suffering among the poor and the outcast?

17. Good thing he isn't still a Dem Prez they would probably
impeach him for saying that. Okay for * to ejaculate all over our nation but no, a dem can't mention the word.
