I find it ironic that, when the bible says life begins with the first breath, christians still lie about all the "babies killed from abortion". And it does phase people. People aren't going gladly to have an abortion, then throwing an after party. Try showing as much compassion for a living, breathing human as you supposedly feel for a clump of cells.
The objection is that you guys crow about how much god loves us, how he's the pinnacle of goodness, but can accept the horrendous acts described in the bible as par for the course. I'm amazed to read the "well, they were given warning, and the killers really believed they were doing good, so that's ok"
Creepy.
