Alright, what's the difference between Android Raptor and a Maytag® dishwasher? When you squirt your gel into the designated compartment, the Maytag® doesn't back buck backwards, call you daddy, moan, and then kill a fetus 8 weeks later with a vacuum attachment.
You can't say this without quoting the proof, good sir. Did I miss a thing?
If they aren't born yet, they can't be considered children. They are either embryos, fetuses or unborn babies. Besides that, you clearly show no understanding of what is needed to grant rights to someone. There are two basic requirements:
It's always funny when the average Kiwi Farmer makes a statement. In the "good ol' times", people could wait until marriage before sex because they married when they were 18 - 21 (even then, marrying in your 20s would be considered strangely late). How do you plan to enforce that rule in today's society, in which virtually everyone is interested in a cosmopolitan lifestyle (going to college or university, travelling the world, knowing different cultures, etc) and is constantly watching people having sex on tv and in the internet? What makes you think that they would change their ways, which have been more or less like this for 60 years by now, to abide by the rules of a 20-something shut-in loser virgin in the internet who idealizes and romanticizes a society he never even experienced?
So are you saying that killing someone's pet is okay then since as an animal, they don't have rights? Or hunting out of season? Because I'm pretty sure you would get in huge trouble for both.
I don't. I can't control people, they are free to live as they choose. All I know is, the Lord's way is the right way, and so many of us have forsaken it. For the rules you speak of aren't my rules. They are God's.
Obviously not. Don't you pay attention to what you write? If they are someone's pet, they are someone's property. Therefore, killing them violates property rights. Needless to say, property rights are not rights of the thing which is a property per se, they are the owner's rights concerning their property. If the owner however decides to liquidate their own property, then nothing can be done.
I come from a place where there isn't a sports hunting culture, so I don't understand the cultural context behind this question. You shouldn't hunt endangered species or in areas designated as environmentally protected.
Maybe. Religion gets a lot of things right, but also a lot of things wrong.
They are the rules of men who claimed to speak in behalf of God. Important difference.
I view things in a pragmatical sense.
There's no sin.
Contraception, although not 100% efficient, is the best way to prevent this from happening. Of course, if you're skeptical of contraception, you may try abstinence.
Which places? never heard of those. If they exist, they are in the wrong.
Agree, but for different reasons: war, violence, poverty, inequality, economic stagnation, corruption, addictions, conspicuous consumption, fanaticism and alienation are much bigger problems nowadays than abortion or children being raised out of wedlock.
Are you happy and fulfilled living your life the way "the Lord" (actually priests and politicians from the Iron Age and late Antiquity) wills it? You seem pretty alienated from your society. I doubt that's a condition that would lead to happiness, since humans are inherently social animals.
That's called proselytizing and it's a bad thing. It only leads to you becoming more of a social pariah. Although you are entitled to having and expressing your beliefs, you shouldn't make a big deal out of them. You come off as someone who feels superior because of your beliefs (like many people who are debating Android Raptor in this thread, even though she hasn't said anything absurd). Maybe you have some kind of narcissism, but I'm no psychologist to diagnose you.
Ok you responded to me first so I shall get off my phat ass and fire back. I'm a welder, lady. And religious. In one fell swoop i've killed the bottom part of your "every one is partying in the city" argument. I'm not.
Quite the opposite. By following God, I've made new friends, am attending Church and have become more sociable with people at my workplace. Especially those who are Christian as well. Then again, I live in a more conservative and religious area, so I'm blessed for that. I still struggle with a lot of things, but I'm happier than I was before I came to believe.
I'm not interested in the rest of your post but I'll answer this:
King Solomon said:
Depends. I would be all for capital punishment if it wasn't so expensive on taxpayers and was only used on the most evil criminals (like mass shooters or serial killers). Euthanasia I think is ok for terminally ill people who can consent to it.
I mean if it's outside the uterus and FUBAR, it's probably gonna get palliative care only. Load that fucker up w/morphine until is passes and is no longer suffering, no extraordinary life-saving care for life-incompatible spuds (like severe holoproscencephaly cyclops babies).
So will HHH, and secret watcher will drop me a hat if he sees this post.
