How can a god, that apparently loves everyone, allow this kind of thing to happen?

[Esquilax]

I gave a possibility - the affect on others.

Hardly a moral reason.

Appeal to emotion.

Appeal to the immorality of the words you spew.

I find it gracious that this person is in existence in the first place. you guys never consider that.

Ah, but then we run into that problem where god doesn't have ownership over human lives without contravening free will: you guys keep going on about how god isn't responsible for human actions because of free will, but that extends to the creation of more humans through sex, doesn't it?

Besides, given that the alternative is a normal life that isn't filled with meaningless agony, something that would cost god nothing, then I don't particularly see that as gracious.

Yes, the parents, other family, caregivers can all grow through it.

Then you are beyond hope. And severely lacking in creativity, if you believe that the only method by which god could impart whatever message he felt was required, is through something as needlessly cruel as that.

Others have mentioned it. Do you disagree with their position? If so, then whiskey tango foxtrot is your point in all this?

I'm discussing the initial point, John. It's got nothing to do with abortion.
