Here is my authority:

For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made: marvellous [are] thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, [and] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all [my members] were written, [which] in continuance were fashioned, when [as yet there was] none of them. (Ps. 139:13-17)

and-

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. (Jer 1:5)

Clearly, in God's eyes, we are created as persons in His image from even BEFORE conception. So, tell me, what is YOUR moral authority for your position, other than yourself wherein you play God and decide what is right and wrong according to your desires and whims?

So, I guess we better prohibit drilling and digging into the earth, as we might kill some people:

"My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, [and] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth."

Outstanding logic. Especially from an 'ex' marine.

Can I cite the Koran as reason/authority for killing you, as an infadel? The authority is there, is it not?
