You think "a penis in a vagina" is just some little thing that you can compare to the color of a pill. We think it's an incredibly sacred, holy, spiritual thing.
If you'd left out the phrase "the rest of you", this reply wouldn't bug me.
Plenty of us atheists also think that lovemaking is indeed a precious thing. That doesn't sanctify the child, though. Is not the child of rape equally worthy?
The analogy of colored pills was only an analogy. It is not indicative of anyone's views about the conceived child, and it's a little unfair of you to insinuate otherwise.
My apologies, PT. That is the impression I got, of which I was clearly wrong.
I do believe all humans are equal in worth, regardless of how they were conceived.
"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."
