Regarding the OP! (and not Statler's ongoing, never-ending, irrational, illogical, undying pledge to uphold utter stupidity in all it's grandest forms)


Tim, those christian forums are a joke. They don't extend to us the same courtesy we extend to them. I was kicked out of one simply for asking a question. No cursing. No blasphemy. No name calling. Just a polite question about a verse in THEIR bible.

They are as delusional, useless, and hypocritical as Statler is right here on this thread. They're sheep. Let them live in their pen.

You know I'm quoting Wiki right? lol.

Whew, well then by definition I am not one! Glad you quoted that for me.

Roger, you just play one on TV.

You sure talk a good game from the bench, it's a shame you don't live up to the hype when you step onto the field of intellectual debate.

How would you know how he does on the field? You've never been in the stadium.

There is no atheistic worldview . . . again. Please rewrite your response to reflect the fact that you know fuckall about atheism or responding will be a waste of my time because it will consist solely of, "Not a worldview. Again, not a worldview. Christianity does not have a monopoly on morality. Not a worldview."

Oh, yeah, Bible contradiction, God loves the world, blah, blah. God murders a shit ton of people because they pissed him off. I win.

Nope, I am a guy. That’s irrelevant though, I am still allowed to address the issue.

Quote: If abortions were outlawed by society, do you honestly think that abortions would no longer occur?

What kind of logic is this? That’s like saying we shouldn’t keep murder illegal because murders still occur.

Quote: They would! It would be just another black market. It's main customers would most likely be young girls whose parents would have a conniption fit if they knew their lily white daughter had sinned in such a way.

This is just an appeal to emotion, it has no bearing on whether abortion should be legal or not. There is a black market for child sex trafficking today; that however does not mean I think we should therefore legalize it, apparently you would think that given your lines of reasoning here.

Quote: All that abstinence talk didn't work?! Shocking. They'd go and get abortions on someone's kitchen table with a coat hanger and the towel that was just used for drying dishes, and either die there, or months later from an excruciating infection, but hey, they deserve it right! Fucking baby killers.

More pure emotionalism. Nobody forces the girls to have abortions, if you can’t accept the possible consequences of sex, don’t have sex.

Quote: Why is it wrong for me to base my concepts of morality on dead comedians, but okay and super duper for you to base yours on dead men from the dark ages and men that may or may not have even existed?

I don’t base mine on any men from the dark ages thank you.

Quote: Embryos are NOT babies.

Sounds like just your opinion to me, can you logically prove this?

Quote: They're extremely valuable and freezable goo. If your morals stand in the way of something so scientifically valuable to the living members of the human race, then your ignorance is beyond measure.

The Nazis thought the same thing about Jews; they were sub-human beings who presented a great scientific value to the advancement of the human race. It’s a shame to see such viewpoints are still held today.

Godwin.

If by scientific importance, you are referring to the experiments conducted on Jews, the doctors who performed them new quite well that they were torturing people, not furthering science. Josef Mengele conducted experiments he knew damn well would not work, so put that card back in your crumpled deck, pal. I'm not buying it.

Naturalism is an atheistic worldview. So you are wrong.

An atheist is free to believe that the world floats on the back of a cosmic turtle, and that faeries do all the heavy lifting in what we see around us, not any natural law. Whatever your preacher told you about atheism may have more to do with your preacher than atheism.
