1. Thank you, I understand what you're saying.
  2. At least they get a chance.

    Better to say you disagree than to reply in a condescending manner. If I was easily offended like some people* I may have taken umbrage at such rudeness.

    *sensitivity impaired
  3. Nothing is a deterrent anymore.

  4. You have that right, but it wasnt condescending as I said before I have heard all of those arguments and they dont seem viable to me, you just presented more of the same, where I was looking for a reconciliation through a religious context, so oh well.

    But if I was being rude, I wouldnt hide behind it under the disguise of something totally non-related.

  5. From a religious perspective, the question is unanswerable.
  6. Its not unanswerable, because a lot of people that are pro-life have that stance because of religious ideas and beliefs.

    I try to get an answer about these things for myself, I know I have hypocritical stances and I actually dont like it. So while I dont agree with abortion, I favor the death penalty in some cases. But as a christian, I have to try to reconcile the two and many other things.

  7. There are answers for individuals but there is no "one size fits all" response. That's what I meant.
  8. i agree. and this is very insightful.
  9. :D
  10. I never took you for a moral relativist.
