151. MPs reject calls to cut abortion limit

Comment #183107 by Colwyn Abernathy on May 21, 2008 at 11:50 am

this needn't be a question of theist versus athiest


I, too, concur. If they're gonna continue to spout Leviticus 20 at us, they may as well include 25 as well. And, hell, why not 12? Childbirth is UNCLEAN! And girls are twice as dirty as boys. Let's have some consistency here at the very least.

Personally, I think I'd rather have no life at all (that's currently debatable) than one of misery, pain, and poverty. To have never existed...I mean, think about all teh kittehs that are never conceived! I'm denying the world the next Beethoven by not having sex right now. Again, that's just me. ;)

I just think there is a VERY steep curve between what we can do with cell clusters and what can acceptably be done to unborn children.


Agreed. To limit suffering, I think it would be best to draw the line at development of the nervous system, but that's just me.

And:

"You cannot be so ugly and a bad example on behalf atheists."


Seems like insults to me. Spare us the fake sentiment of just wanting to dialogue. It's clear you're insulted yourself as it hasn't occured to you to look deep into WHY you believe what you do.

"No one anymore has respect for christianity..." well he got that right at least.


If they stayed out of everyone ELSE'S business, nobody'd be bitching. We don't have respect for it because we're on to it. They seem to forget that respect is EARNED...at least mine is.

EDIT:

"The Bible says that homosexuality is an abomination." ORLY? Since you INSIST it's not open to interpretation, leave the lezzies alone. Oh, and sell one of your 20 grandchildren into slavery. How many of them are girls? Betcha could get a reall good price on the pre-pubescent ones.

I seriously doubt this kid needs a lawyer, and if he does i'm sure one that is cheap enough to afford on pocket money will be sufficient.


Or I'm sure any one with scruples will take his case pro bono. Think of the advertising, defending the free speech of a MINOR and exposing COS for the jackbooted douchery it's well known for.

I would enthusiastically agree with both of these points. That does not make me shy away from asking questions. It should not inhibit anyone from doing so.


Oh, I'm hearing you on the FM here. However, you are not asking questions, you are making claims that are backed by faulty logic. For example: if life is a product of cognition (or even basic cognitive processes) how do bacteria survive? How do they come about? How come mitochondria within a single cell contain different DNA than the cell itself, when they don't contain any organs capable of cognition?

I pose these questions merely to txpiper. I would like you in particular to answer them. Thanks! :)

Comment #181721 by Colwyn Abernathy on May 18, 2008 at 4:08 am

In other words, he suggests that we can get around the divide between science and God if we come up with a new concept for God that focuses on the wonders of nature , among other things.


The concept of The Matrix is fascinating, disturbing....and imaginary. SRSLY, do we NEED to "recreate the sacred" even though it's solely IMAGINARY? Doesn't make sense, then again, I'm a reader.

WASHINGTON: Scientists hate God. Or find God very disturbing. In fact, modern science has found no evidence of God and so it's stupid anymore to think God exists.

Comment #181444 by Colwyn Abernathy on May 17, 2008 at 8:35 am

Worried that American popular culture leads people and especially teenagers astray, the Christian version is designed to satisfy all the same needs in a cleaner form.



Of COURSE it does! It's modern, up-to-date, and NEAT! A bronze age text spouting barbaric traditions is EXTREMELY difficult for new generations to relate to. Henry Rollins talks about this. It's like getting a kid who's into rap, R&B, read "The N Word", saw "8 Mile" and "Dangerous Minds" to buy into the idea that black people are inferior because his own race is superior. NO kid who's been exposed to the "target" of hatred/intolerance/inferiority firsthand is gonna buy that. And therein lies hope, at least for me.

Most non-Christians are aware that there is something called Christian rock.

Parents should be warned that there is a growing threat to their children, undetected by the electric gates and security cameras of their schools. It is insidious because it is absolutist, intolerant and threatens the opportunity for young people to complete their education as rounded individuals with critical, discerning minds.
