What is it Henry, you know how to quote properly...

yes, atto, I do

It wold matter to them, I reckon, as much as my family's love and sufferin' woulda mattered to them if I'd let those three guys kill me. It would matter to them, I reckon, as much as my love and sufferin' would matter to me if I didn't defend my kid and he was murdered by the intruder.

The lesson: don't endanger your life, don't risk bringin' grief to your family, breakin' into a stranger's house at 3am.


That 'mother' may have been raped, what then.

That's the fault of the person inside her?


But you are NOT taking a life - the 'person' has a SOUL.

The person is a soul, a soul melded to a body, the person's body. His life is his.

You are doing an I.C. cold job again, allowing yourself the cowards act of manipulating context.

Try Again, this time have some ethics, quote what I state in full. (I know there is a BIG flaw you can attack )

No, the intruder made the choice to risk his life enterin' a stranger's home, at 3am, without permission.

The bad is entirely on him.

Er, the love of his family don't count, since will be suffering for the rest of their lives. THAT is why God did say "Thou shalt not murder."

henry quirk wrote: ↑Tue Dec 14, 2021 11:16 pmAlso: I said, I'd shoot if neccessary, not first thing. I've been in this position in RL. What I did was give the three opportunity to leave, empty-handed. They did. If they hadn't I absolutely would have shot them. And that was when I was alone. Today: I have a 15 year old. If someone breaks in, and I have the choice of preservin' my kid's life or sparin' strangers the misery of livin' without their reckless, criminal brother or husband, they'll suffer.

You do know 15 is under the legal limit right?

atto wrote:You've mention he has a SOUL right? Why not allow God to have that SOUL back for your careless mistake and re-pop it into a foetus where it could be given far more love, indeed a much better life.

I don't believe it's my, or your, place, to take that life: it doesn't belong to me or you (or even God). It belongs to the person inside his mother.

But you are NOT taking a life - the 'person' has a SOUL. That 'mother' may have been raped, what then.

so, I guess we're done, right, atto?

Sure, you took the same route as yer mate IC, rather unethical and cowardly <<--- edit. I take that last word back, I see at least something respect worthy in U.

Let's see how IC responds.

I've pointed out to you what the Scripture says. What you do with it, atto, is up to you.

Gideons bibles are provided for free, often over the years I've considered how much cheaper that is to toilet paper.

Anyway, just returned from walking my dog at 1am, so we ain't done with what U have had to say to me, it's another cbf per now.

I'm not sure of your point. He protected all his followers except for Judas, and did so by sacrificing Himself, not them. So again, my point is that one may nobly sacrfice oneself; one has no such liberty to ignore the welfare of others.

My point is clear. He could make war if He wanted to make it in order to spread his messages.

You don't agree with the approach of Islam I think. Do you?

"Approach" to what?

But back to abortion: what has all this got to do with that?

Approach to war.

Yes, and he didn't...so...I'm not sure of what I'm supposed to be deducing from that. You're going to have to specify your conclusion.

Abortion is war?

I don't think so. All they have in common is the killing of innocents. I suppose that's something.

Two questions, drawn straight from the thread title...

Does a pregnant woman carry a human being/person or just 'life'/meat?

...and...

Which God?

henry quirk wrote: ↑Wed Dec 15, 2021 8:38 pm Does a pregnant woman carry a human being/person or just 'life'/meat?

Here's my honest response (again) to this question: I see the body as an organic vehicle that grows on its own without my particular consciousness. I, personally, do not have any memories or awareness from being in the womb as this body vehicle I inhabit was being formed. If my Mother had aborted the vehicle, there surely would have been another vehicle I could inhabit if I really wanted to incarnate, and I certainly wouldn't hold that decision against her or anyone! From my own experience, I do not believe that consciousness is tied to a body/vehicle.

"Scripture" says a lot of things. Much is contradictory, even the same verses.
Please state the Sixth Commandment!

What is significant to the debate is that the Bible says Nothing about abortion. It is equally mute on the subjects of child protection and the rights of women,
As such it is utterly irellevant to the thread.

Ah, okay... fuck you.

Attn: 'New Readers' -- Henry is asking the same question repeatedly to draw in people to answer so he can argue and disagree and try to wank off in your face with his royally engorged ego. Be warned. He doesn't really care about having a reasonable discussion. But he's 'principled' (or so he says), so that justifies all of his bullshit behavior. Have fun with that!

Actually, I have got better things, but re scripture what do you think of this in the opening of Genesis:-

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Who was he asking to allow there be light? Was HE on the phone to tech support? OR do you think such matters may have been mentioned for mankind to think deeper about the entire buy bull.
