Justice versus Charity Generally speaking there is a moral distinction between an act and an omission. In dealing with euthanasia‚ it is rational to think that the active euthanasia is further morally wrong than passive euthanasia.

The story of Negro spirituals is closely linked to the history of African Americans‚ within three milestones: the abolition of slavery (1865)‚ the Black Renaissance (1925)‚ and the first Dr. Martin Luther King ’s Day (1985). Negro spirituals blend a combination of spoken word‚ hums‚ moans‚ groans‚ and old slave dialect and incorporated them with a simple repetitive tune to convey strong emotion.

While doing anything for the Lord‚ a person can expect a counter-attack from the enemy on many levels.
