Is that the part where the only way God could figure out how to forgive us was to send his son to be tortured and executed? I get confused...Jastroch wrote:Yeah, there's something about forgiveness in there... or something.

Fact: you cannot torture and kill an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent being. That whole Jesus thing is just God being a big dick, being all like, "Ooh, lookit me, ooo, I'm suffering soo much - Psyche! I'm god, suckas! High five myself! Outta here!" The whole getting warshed in the blood of the lamb bit is just a sop to grandfather in all that weird pagan farm sacrifice stuff that the old testament stole. Cray-zee.
The important question is, who do I have to fuck around here to get a violinist permanently attached to me? Because that would be wicked awesome.

I got an even better analogy... or at least one on that level.
I like it when girls give the excuse, "It's my body! I'll do what I want with it," when giving a pro-choice status justification. Not because I'm pro-anything (I'm pro-social lottery: the winners don't get aborted), but because it's so damn funny when you really think about it.
Because of this reason, I kind of wish I was a girl, so I could get pregnant, have a daughter, wait for her to get grown up, wait for her to get knocked up, and then she'll tell me, "I want it out of me," and I'll reply, "Not in my house," and then she'll reply, "It's my body! I'll do what I want with it!" At this point, I'll take out a harpoon gun and start shooting at her, and she'll ask, "What the hell are you doing?!" I'd reply, "It's my body! I'll do what I want with it!"
As for so-called church-type peoples who try to bomb abortion clinics, those are extremists/radicals, and extremist/radical anythings (whether it be christian, athiest, bhuddist, or even metalhead, vegan, or anything) are crazy and in such a mania that they forget the rules of their subculture (such as the part of the bible about not killing people.).
Besides, Sun Tzu once said, "One hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the most skillful. Seizing the enemy without fighting is the most skillful."

Just saying... the bible does not say anything about abortion one way or the other. There is, however a part in Exodus that says: "And if men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she has a miscarriage, yet there is no further injury he shall surely be fined as the woman's husband may demand of him; and he shall pay as the judges decide." Which sounds like those fuckers owe someone a few scheckles.

This might have something. I'll be damned if I'm going to read it though.

Well, anyone can twist the bible to mean anything so if you follow their logic we can presume a certain regard for ovum, sperm, and embryos. But women did abort their children back then (as they have been doing with various levels of danger to themselves since free will was invented.) But there's no indication that this practice is wrong. Just saying...
