making a forced pregnancy into your legal right to use against woman is a purely sociopathic manifestation of a religious zealot.

It's not MY legal right. It is the legal right of the new genetically distinct human life that she created.

Cancer is genetically distinct human life. We certainly don't recognise the "right" for cancer to exist.

No. Cancer is a disease. But I can see how you could believe that.

A disease that fits your "genetically human, and distinct" criteria. That is the point. Your criteria for individual personhood is insufficient. No organism that requires a host to survive is "individual"; it is, at worst, parasitic; at best, symbiotic. Either way, it is not an individual, and the only person whose rights, and choices matter is the woman's.

In my opinion. Now, please understand, I do not require you to agree with my opinion, nor to act as if you do. However, I do require that you do not try to force anyone else to behave as if they agree with your opinion. That's all. You believe that a fetus is a completely individual life, and is ,at least, as important, as the pregnant woman, if not more important. Okay. Then, by all means, never have an abortion. And if anyone ever tries to pass a law to force you to, you can count on my support to fight that law right along side you.

However, not everyone shares your opinion. So, please do us the courtesy of not trying to force everyone to behave as if they do, by force of law. That's all we ask. We're not asking you to agree with us. Just stop trying to pass laws to try and force us to behave as if we agree with you.

Science says that human life begins at conception. Science says that personhood begins at conception.

Science says no such thing. And this is why I, and others like me, will always oppose you. It's not that we need you to agree with us; it's that you are unwilling to allow anyone to behave in any manner other than pretending to agree with you. You are fundamentally incapable of simply living your life according to your beliefs, while letting others live theirs according to their beliefs.

Of course it does not. You should look up personhood. You will find that it is a philisophical concept, not a scientific one. Science makes no claim of when an organism is a "person".

You are fundamentally incapable of simply living your life according to your beliefs, while letting others live theirs according to their beliefs.

All experimentation points to the fact that life begins at conception. You wish to be left alone in your beliefs and assumptions; however, humanists, evolutionists, socialists, and yes even "gay" activists have proven over and over that they are not going to allow anyone to live, think and believe in a way that may exclude their influence. Does it seem at all unreasonable that Christians wouldn't feel the very same way? How shall they hear without a preacher? Personally I feel it is unreasonable, for instance, that Christians should climb into a hole so that you might climb out of yours...

I do not believe that all abortions are totally wrong. In the dire instance where the mother or child may die if the birthing process is allowed to continue, I would say that the life of the mother is just as valuable as that of the child, but if one is to be sacrificed, it should be the life of the infant. HOWEVER, it must be entire understood that a life was clearly sacrificed to save a life. Nothing more yet nothing less.

Again, I do submit that in this day and age --- GOD provided doctors with knowledge so that a C section might be done in order to save the life of BOTH mother and child. Scientifically speaking the ONLY rational reason for sex is biological reproduction. The reality is that pure enjoyment is not without its consequences and responsibilities. It is not unreasonable to predict that any social order which relies entirely in pursuit of enjoyment will be selfishly motivated, and will collapse due to a lazy lack of work related motivation apart from entertainment.

Now the conclusion is that without GOD, man merely exists. And since there is no heaven or hell, the only meaningful purpose to life is to have fun. And so this is where we now find ourselves at the crossroads sort to speak. Drugs, liquor, sex, games, things, even manipulated violence is basically all an individual has to look forward to. And actually, government realizing that anarchy will mean the destruction of governmental jobs/control, the government has taken the place of GOD and requires what it now terms as patriotism to replace righteousness. This helps to keep everyone in line...

Personhood is a physical phenomenon. And a new distinct person is created at conception. One that has never existed before and will never exist again.

How can you even profess to know that its all magical bullshit if there is no way to discover what the truth is? Damn.

Uh....hey genius....that's exactly why it's utter nonsense! Duh, man. All of you magical thinkers suffer from the same, basic mental block .

You all also suffer the very childish affliction of taking criticism of your magical bullshit personally. Thus occurs because "Because I say so!" is all you will ever have to support your magical bullshit. Therefore, you take any criticism of these ideas as an insult of your own credibility and intellect.

And....you're right! It absolutely is. That's YOUR choice for hitching your mind to these ideas. Your credibility and intellect is rightfully ridiculed.

What you don't seem to understand is that the story of Pinocchio is about a marionette that became a real boy, but at the same time it is not about a marionette that became a real boy. If someone believed that it was about a puppet coming to life it would be a belief in magical bullshit but thats not what the story is about. What the story is actually about was never written down and is not directly connected to the literal meanings of the words used.

simple.

What you see in scripture, all that you see, magical bullshit, is not what I am talking about or suggesting. Thats not what scripture is about anymore than the story of Pinocchio is about magical bullshit. What scripture is actually about was never written down and is not directly connected to the literal meanings of the words used.

simple.


That you can't grasp that irrefutable truth demonstrates a lack of intelligence. Thats the way the cookie crumbles.

Your belief that what amount to fairy tales could have infinite interpretations which are impossible to distinguish between what is true or false or right or wrong while posturing as an intellectual superior is just funny. Stupid but funny.

You should have paid attention in the first grade.

Capisce? Can I get a hee haw?

Yet, unlike Pinnochio, the Bible stories are interpreted in myriad ways. Ykur response to this? Your interpretation of each is correct, because you say so. And, as we know, there really is no way to tell if you are correct, or even if you are correct in your rather hilariously stupid assertion that the authors never meant any of it to be literal. You're just a hack with an opinion who thinks he is some authority. You aren't, it's all magical bullshit, and the fact is, much of it is immoral, evil bullshit.

the sinners have a desperate need to control society, forging their own religion to do so. with abortion rights, when the decision is left to the individual the freedom to chose rather than forced subjugation, the ruling took their control away from them is what represents their true disdain than supposedly the outcome for a medical procedure.

That is just plain false.


One cannot conform to a literal interpretation of the law which forbids eating the flesh of unclean creatures that do not ruminate without violating the deeper implications of the exact same law because the teaching that a person can be defiled or become holy by eating or abstaining from certain food is the flesh of unclean creatures that do not ruminate.

This revelation is from the Spirit of truth.

You're just a hack with an opinion who thinks he is some authority. You aren't, it's all magical bullshit, and the fact is, much of it is immoral, evil bullshit.

Unlike other books, the Bible is a living book with multiple meanings surrounding every passage. However, those meaning do not contradict each other. Interpretation comes by way of the Holy Spirit.

It's the most amazing book ever written. Think about it. 66 books, written by about 40 different authors, over a period of 1500 years, in THREE different languages. And it all hangs together. No contradictions. If you stop for a moment and think about just how impossible that is, there can be no doubt that the Bible is the word of God.

How can you even profess to know that its all magical bullshit if there is no way to discover what the truth is? Damn.

Uh....hey genius....that's exactly why it's utter nonsense! Duh, man. All of you magical thinkers suffer from the same, basic mental block .

You all also suffer the very childish affliction of taking criticism of your magical bullshit personally. Thus occurs because "Because I say so!" is all you will ever have to support your magical bullshit. Therefore, you take any criticism of these ideas as an insult of your own credibility and intellect.

And....you're right! It absolutely is. That's YOUR choice for hitching your mind to these ideas. Your credibility and intellect is rightfully ridiculed.

What you don't seem to understand is that the story of Pinocchio is about a marionette that became a real boy, but at the same time it is not about a marionette that became a real boy. If someone believed that it was about a puppet coming to life it would be a belief in magical bullshit but thats not what the story is about. What the story is actually about was never written down and is not directly connected to the literal meanings of the words used.

simple.

What you see in scripture, all that you see, magical bullshit, is not what I am talking about or suggesting. Thats not what scripture is about anymore than the story of Pinocchio is about magical bullshit. What scripture is actually about was never written down and is not directly connected to the literal meanings of the words used.

simple.


That you can't grasp that irrefutable truth demonstrates a lack of intelligence. Thats the way the cookie crumbles.

Your belief that what amount to fairy tales could have infinite interpretations which are impossible to distinguish between what is true or false or right or wrong while posturing as an intellectual superior is just funny. Stupid but funny.

You should have paid attention in the first grade.

No contradictions? You sure about that? Tell me. Is Shelah the son of Arphaxad (Gen. 11:12), or the son of Cainen, and grandson of Arhaxad (Luke 3:35 &36)? Which came first? Adam (Gen. 1:11-27), or vegetation (Gen 2:5-9)? Which came first? The animals (Gen 1:25-27), or Adam (Gen 2:7-19)? Are works a necessary function of salvation, as claimed by James (James 2:20 & 21), or are works meaningless, as indicated by Paul (Rom. 4:1 & 2)?

Are women allowed to prophesy? 1 Timothy 2:12 prohibits women from any sort of religious teaching, but 1 Corinthians 11:5 implies that women are allowed to make prophecies — and a prophet was counted among the highest religious teachers in those days — although they cannot do it without a head covering.

And shall I go on to enumerate the many numeric contradictions in the bible? And this is just off the top of my head.

So, again. Are you certain there are no contradictions? Or did you just mean there are no contradictions in the things you determined actually matter?

If you are hungry, I will offer you food.
If you are thirsty, I will offer water.
If you are cold, I will offer warmth.
If you are in need, ask and I will give.
If you are in trouble, ask and I will help.

I do not do this things in hope of being rewarded, or out of fear of being punished. I do these things, because I know them to be right. I set my own standards, and I, alone, enforce them...

...I am an atheist.

No one cares what you are.

That is just plain false.


One cannot conform to a literal interpretation of the law which forbids eating the flesh of unclean creatures that do not ruminate without violating the deeper implications of the exact same law because the teaching that a person can be defiled or become holy by eating or abstaining from certain food is the flesh of unclean creatures that do not ruminate.

This revelation is from the Spirit of truth.

Certainly, this was factual. The Hebrews were being set apart and were to be an illustration to the pagan nations of what righteousness and perfection were to be.

No, that is not true. The Holy Spirit does not guide the individual reader to interpret the Bible.
