Abortion is love

[robvalue]

If you're part of a religion such as Christianity or Islam, then aborting your children before they are born (or killing them just after they are born) is the most loving thing you can do for them.

First of all, you eliminate the risk that they might end up in hell by failing to follow the rules correctly.

Second, they go straight to heaven without any of the pain or heartache this life brings. They begin infinite happiness right away.

And third, it's insurance against them picking the wrong religion.

Even if we pretend there is definitely a god, and it's definitely either Yahweh or Allah, that means every Christian and Muslim is taking a risk. If they don't kill their baby, it might not go to heaven by picking wrong. You may be in the wrong religion and it may copy you, or you may be in the right religion and it may stray to another.

By killing it, the God can't say it picked wrong, so must send it to heaven! Even if you've picked wrong, in which case you're going to hell regardless, you save your child the same fate.

The ultimate act of love! So how can you object, and why don't you do it? Is it because you're hedging your bets in case the whole thing is actually made up?

Rob, can I have the number of your dealer?

Sure, I'll get it to you later. I just barricaded myself under the table

Oh-Kay... What's the SECOND most loving thing then?

I hope some theists reply to this rather then ingnoring. That title

You do realize this god is just an hypothetical? right?

[robvalue]

Yeah, I'd love them to reply. I feel like I just scored a home run for team A with that third part. It occurred to me in another thread, and it seems like a lock down. Sure, you guys all limp round the bases, I saved your asses again!

I'm showing actions speak louder than words when they contradict professed beliefs.

When you say it like that, you make them look like crazy basterds!
They won't reply.

If all the shit they believed was actually real, then you'd have a good case, but I feel that 99.9% of theists are café Xtians (whether they know it or not).
Actions always speak louder than words.

I predict something along the lines of 'everyone deserves a chance at life' or some shit.
