ABORTION.......

Nothing of the sort is apparent, since he bases his statement on zero knowledge of my life. If on the other hand, he is referring to renumerative work that he has done, I don't see that as qualifying him for sainthood.

So we can assume you are not a hypocrite, and devote your life to charity.
Splendid.

As for your auto-theism, it is certainly fair topic in a Spirituality & Religion forum, and nobody pried your position out of you. You seemed at one point to be quite proud of it. Are you retreating from it now?

Absolutely not, I am just sick of having it completely misrepresented by someone that obviously wasn't paying attention when I was explaining it.
I made it quite clear my conception of what 'god' means does not include your particular external 'being' comic book caricature. Yet you keep trying to imply 'I see myself as bible god', which is ridiculous and inflammatory.
Please do not ask me to explain what 'god' means to me in regards to autotheism yet again, because if it didn't sink in the first 3 times it probably won't now.

I don't need an explanation. I understand your position very well. It's absurd.

Futher evidence you didn't pay attention/absorb what I wrote.
Your myopic definition of the word shows a hint of your myopic view of the world.

Have a good day.

And don't forget that we fanatical Christians believe in resurrection of the dead.

Way to dodge the question real life.
I think wilso was taking a poke at your apparent hippocracy.

And I would thank you to leave your mal-formed blindered opinion of my autotheism out of your diatribes, as you haven't a clue what you are talking about.
Thanks.

BTW RL. YOU are the one claiming moral superiority. I've never made any such claim.

Not only is abortion legally available in Australia to anyone who wants it, but it is funded by medicare. You see, the Australian public made the decision that freely available abortion was more acceptable than Monday morning emergency wards being FULL of young women butchered by backyard surgeons each weekend.

Let's give this thread a decent Christian Burial / Death Ritual Of Choice.

We can have some fun. I'll go first.

I expected RL to dodge the question. That's all his ilk ever do when it's too hard. They want to force their mental disease on everyone else, while not taking any responsibility.

real life, why is that line so important to you?

If you talk to women who miscarry at various stages of pregnancy I'm quite certain you'll find a dramatic increase in the level of grief experienced the further along the developmental line you travel. (I know this myself from the bitter experience of close friends)

I've recently read that it's now thought that as many as 80% of all conceptions are lost naturally through miscarriage...you would have us think that this is just as sad as if we were losing 80% at nine months, which is ridiculous.

real life, if that's the best you've got I'll take the point thanks.

If you are happy to concede that far less accidental damage is caused by early miscarriages than late ones, then clearly the same is true when it's not accidental.
