If you open a window, is it immoral to kill a wasp that flies in because you "invited it"? Lmao
Well, if you're an Atheist anything goes really.
Funny, because an overwhelming majority of prison inmates are theists. (99.8%). It might be said they are the ones acting outside morality and outside the law.

I'm a conservative Muslim, it doesn't work like that.

I haven't looked at the figures myself so I don't accept that, especially since most Atheists on the internet are unreliable on statistics. In any case, what do you mean "acting outside morality", morality doesn't have boundaries for you.

Look at the figures for yourself then. Or is that too much of a challenge?

What country is that figure for allegedly? Even if it was true, it doesn't prove a damn thing.

The United States, a nation known for its religiousness. Unfortunately.

And why doesn't it prove anything?

A figure like this would only prove that the overwhelming majority of inmates (inmates surveyed and respondent or data mined - at the time of the survey, mind you) are/were theists.....
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

There are intuitive and cultural moral boundaries which I am bound to, as is anyone.

Haha, you misogynistic cunt. How exactly does that constitute "inviting" a zygote in? Unless they were actively trying to conceive, a pregnancy is very much uninvited.
You're such a dumbass you fucking peasant (see, I can call you names too).
I would rather be a misogynist in your eyes than a murderer in my own.
You want to know how that's "inviting" a zygote in? You are aware that you have ovaries, right? Do I need to explain the rest?

Still comparing an individual human life to other non-human species?

Yes, well you should know that there are parts of the world that practices murder, rape etc. on a daily basis. I guess you think it's fine since their "intuitive and moral boundaries" allows them to do that.
