I don't think that's quite accurate. I have said I'm not religious. That's not the same thing as saying there is no God. I have said that I claim no knowledge of absolutes. That's not the same as saying there are no absolutes.

Point well taken. Let me to revise my assertion to say that in effect you have made a functional assumption for your life that there is no God. That is, whether there is or isn't a God, or whether there are or are not absolutes you don't know, but for all practical purposes you have decided to live as though there were not. Is that a fair assessment?

Cordially,

Cordially,

Close.

God plays no part in my life. He doesn't talk to me. I don't talk to him. I don't seek his advice. I don't claim to know anything about him. And I distrust the claims of religions great and small to special knowledge.

Anyone who follows, even casually, explorations on the frontiers of science knows that every day the universe grows larger, smaller, and stranger. I don't even speculate on what that says about the nature and/or existance of God.

Returning to the morality of abortion. I don't want to live in a world full of unkempt, unhealthy, untutored, uncivilized, and unwanted bas***ds. My experience is that they are nothing but trouble as youngsters and even worse as adults. My concern is to prevent them from entering this world. Most of the time I am pretty humane but there are times when barbaric solutions seem just fine. Is that morality? I leave it to you.
