Your argument is simply that if one is a Catholic one must adhere to different rules regarding life. And it is a LOT more complex than a snippet from a single non-authoratative opinion.

That is a great theological argument for Christians, but is irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

Yes, I'm well aware that you are a longtime devotee of the euthanasia/assisted suicide movement, but can you really explain where these "rights" come from? Do you think your opinions and desires are "rights"?

Where do YOU think YOUR right to life comes from? If it does not come from God, then the only logical alternative is the government.

Again, where does YOUR "right to death" come from? Do you think that your ABILITY to end your own life is somehow a "right"?

Killing one’s self is just as much murder as killing another. Nobody has a right to murder another. The government may make it *legal* in that there’s no penalty for it, but the murderer still has to answer to God for it, if not in this life, in the next.

The error in thinking has become that WE have the *right* to do with our lives because they’re *our* lives.

But they’re not *our* lives. They belong to God. That error in thinking comes from the rejection of God by mankind.

>> And it is a LOT more complex

In other words, wagglebee is too #ing stupid to discuss the absurdity of normalizing suicide?

The “right” belongs to Life, and only an idiot would argue otherwise.
