I have my belief when a human embryo joins humanity, you have yours. I'm not a Christian, but I respect your viewpoint. I admit I could be wrong since I do believe in intelligent design. I often wish I was a believer in a Divine power, but my ability to reason prevents me. I envy unwavering Faith and have been looking for it all my life. Take care, Sir.
It was last month but this new law has added protections:
“ the latest attempt by Republican lawmakers in the state to find legal avenues to ban abortions that will withstand judicial challenges.”
Our governor wanted legal challenges in order to uphold new protection
Yes, murder is murder and abortion is ‘pre-meditated’ anyway you look at it.
The level of society is beyond belief!
today’s girls might better get/take the RU486 right along wi their pills everyday...
From the excerpt:
“The law, which was approved by Oklahoma’s Legislature last week, goes into effect immediately. It is distinct from a new law last month that outlaws abortion entirely except to save the life of a pregnant woman, which takes effect in late August.
Lawmakers in Oklahoma have put forward a number of anti-abortion bills in the hopes of closing off any potential loopholes.”
“After about 6 weeks???”
I was wondering about that too. Could it be estimating when the pregnancy actually began, based on images?
I often wish I was a believer in a Divine power, but my ability to reason prevents me.
***It is not your ability to reason that prevents you, it is pride. 10 year olds have the ability to reason towards belief in a Divine power but prideful adults have that ability clouded, just like you have shown here.
Harsh and wrong. It is my logical thought process. While I believe there is intelligent design behind the Universe, I have never seem empirical evidence it is controlled by an active involved god. I've been looking all my life.
Kevmo:”It is not your ability to reason that prevents you, it is pride.”
Vet:Harsh and wrong.
***Harsh, yes; wrong, no.
It is my logical thought process.
***It is your pride masking as a logical thought process.
While I believe there is intelligent design behind the Universe, I have never see[n] empirical evidence it is controlled by an active involved god. I’ve been looking all my life.
***I doubt you’ve been looking. There’s all these limbic system thoughts that prop up into your brain before you ever even consider such evidence. But for the open minded among us, I will offer the book “Jesus: God, Ghost, or Guru” by Buell and Hyder which outlines the accepted historical fact — even the enemies of Jesus acknowledge it — that Jesus died answering the question of simply His identity, claiming to be equal with God Himself.
All those thought processes which jump up for you before you sit down and read that book, those thought processes have nothing to do with logic. They are your pride in action.
Interesting that you interjected yourself in a personal conversation (yes, on a public board). Is that because of your ego of righteousness and a need to lower me as a person so as to raise your standing in your own mind? Your condemnation of my sincere and respectful thoughts is another reason why I have a problem with organized religion.
Go away you pompous fool.
Asking a second time...please leave me alone.
It would be fair that you remove his provocative anti-christian bigotry from this thread as well. After all, FR is Pro-God... and he aint. If he wants protection for religious discussions then he should be applying for caucus status per the religion moderators’ guidelines.
