Abortion: 10 years as an atheist and I still don't get it
RE: Abortion: 10 years as an atheist and I still don't get it
Well then I guess I'm on the absolutist side. I believe abortion is morally bad. I believe abortion can be sometimes societally necessary, or the lesser of evils, but still not morally good. The question still stands:
If it's best for children and adults to act as though all killing is bad, and if we did all act as though all killing and stealing were bad there would be fewer instances of killing or stealing wouldn't that be societally good? Is that a positive reason for accepting a lie to better society?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
