So what's your straight forward, short reply to my question about the punishments doled out to rapists and IVf'ers?
And do you admit that an analogy is, in fact, a comparison? Like the dictionary says?
I have already addressed this. You just don't like my responses, but as Tarty accurately said, I don't care lol.
No you haven't. A response is not the same as an answer, no matter how convenient you happen to find it to simply provide a response.
The fact that you are personally unable to provide any sort of moral distinction between IVF and rape is rather disturbing. It doesn't speak well to biblical morality.
Do you agree that you were wrong to claim that analogy was not a comparison?
Lol, see, this is what I'm talking about.
I already told you. Yes, rape is a million times worse than IVF, and on a whole other level. I said that the very first time I brought up rape. Yet you're accusing me of never having "made a moral distinction."
And I already told you, my analogy about stealing $10 wasn't meant to say that IVF is the equivalence of stealing. The only reason I used stealing is because I needed an act that you would all find immoral, so I said stealing. This doesn't mean stealing is anything like IVF. I was trying to explain a concept to you about end results.
You may not like those answers, but to say I did not answer you is dishonest. This is why I'm not going to put much effort into having a super in depth discussion with you, and instead, am just answering things as simply as possible. It's not worth my time.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
