Sigh, straw man fallacy, that claim isn't remotely what he said, at this point I shan't even feign surprise.
And yet it remains what he believes.
I'm glad to see this annoys you people, maybe once you get tired enough of your own medicine you can actually start to behave like adults.
I doubt it, given the casual racism and a intellectual vapidity on display here by key members of the community, but fuck it we ball.

There's no evidence that he believes that Assisted suicide in is not careless and unjustly taking human life. You just made it up.

It is annoying that you are accusing AF members of things which you have no evidence of and also you constantly make claims without any evidence, meaning that you are nothing but a troll who spreads misinformation and claims to be the victim.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The idea that a magat would be bothered by casual racism certainly belongs in this thread. They're making real strange life choices if that's what gets them clutching their pearls.

And yet it remains what he believes. No, it was a false claim you made up and assigned him, hence a clumsy and irrational straw man fallacy, and far from your first.

More trolling rhetoric, the projection is amusing though, give you're the one who has come to an atheists forum to troll, because your ego can't allow that there are people in the word who don't share your irrational archaic superstitious beliefs, cry me a river.

All coming from you champ. just re-read this post of yours, and it's clear you not only have failed yet again to honestly address the post and your the dishonesty of your logical fallacy, but also that it's pure trolling. I get it, your beliefs are important to you, and here are a group of people mocking them, but the way to challenge that is with some compelling objective evidence or rational argument, and your posts have demonstrated that you clearly have an empty bag.

Who did you check with, exactly? Certainly not the Holy Mother Church, who has long held that the souls of the departed go through a process of purification after death (they stole the idea from the heathen Greeks, filed off the serial numbers, and claimed it for their own, but that’s neither here nor there).

It manifestly is not what he believes.
The Church has very specific standards for what constitutes a mortal sin, and the simple taking of a human life does not meet those standards (murder almost always does, but that's a different kettle of fish of another colour).
Let me try a hypothetical scenario to see if I can help you understand:
If someone were to stalk you, catch you unawares, beat you to death with an iron bar, chop you into manageable bits with an axe, and bury the bits in a limed pit, that would be murder and a mortal sin.
One the other hand, if someone, through no fault of their own, were to strike and kill you with their car, that would be the taking of a human life but not a mortal sin (possibly not even a venial one).
The notion that not all acts with a similar outcome are sinful and that not all sins are equally grave is one of the (very) few less than reprehensible things about the Catholic church.

Boru Oh, it's pretty obvious from the dishonest straw men he keeps posting that @ TheWhiteMarten has his goal posts on wheels, and they're motorised.
Odd really, as all he really needs is a pulpit or a soapbox, for the kind of vapid preaching he's offering. Not one attempt to objectively evidence that any deity or anything supernatural exists, or is even possible. This is not new of course, honest debate is anathema to many people, when they have been indoctrinated to accept religious beliefs uncritically. Mostly the goalposts whizz around in their imagination, trying to balance all the cognitive dissonance.
