I'll say this on the matter: I held my wife's hand during her D&C after miscarrying. The child would have been our second. The procedure is the same in an abortion except for how it is initiated. I can't fathom someone doing this voluntarily.
Nowhere else do we kill children in response...
Super-Bowl Sunday is about the only day I go out of my way to watch a sports event. In this case, it's for the commercials and the food. I don't bother with the game or halftime show.
Jon,
Even nothing is something. It has a name and a shared belief in its existence. What we perceive as "nothing" is more likely equated to a "stage". I wanted to find better words but I don't know that they exist.
As for your argument about God being nothing or no-thing, you are applying...
The premise of your question is circular.
Can a thing be its own creator? No.
I don't care if the chicken came before the egg (actuality vs. potentiality argument) or the egg came before the chicken (mutation in development creating a new species aka evolutionary argument)
On a side note...
I've seen the experiment multiple times. They never seem to account for variances in the trajectory or address the concept that the particles may be interacting with the shield before the background and thus the variance could simply be ricochet.
It's like watching a magic show; you know...
I spent a lot of time and put a lot of thought into that response. I believe we agree on many points of the Bible itself. It has been translated and edited more times than I believe anybody living knows. I see it as the written version of a thousand-year-old oral history, not a transcription...
Part 2 of 2:
It is entirely possible that I am mis-guided for turning to my religion while finding so much fault in how it is practiced. I am certain that inconsistencies can be found in the Bible, especially after being translated so many times. I also understand as a bit of a dummy Christian...
Part 1 of 2:
I’m taking the time to finally respond today after making another leap of faith. I am resigning my position today in the midst of financial strife and nearing bankruptcy. I’m doing this as a matter of self-preservation with the calm my faith provides me.
I believe God does love me...
- I agree.
You are incorrect about the position I would take. I'd love to tell you how much I agree with you but Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V is only worth so much.
I tend to tread carefully when conversing with those I respect; this community has no exceptions. I've asked you very hard questions in the...
Free speech is not limited, hence free. If it is free, it is not limited.
That does not mean that it comes without consequence. If you yell fire when there is no fire, you are still inciting a panic in addition to exercising your right to loose your gob and will likely suffer the consequences...
