You've never been bereaved have you?
I have, and not just once.
To me an embryo only has the potential to become a person the development of the nervous system and the brain are important yet there develop later on in the pregnancy after the 24 weeks limit.
I am a atheist I don’t believe in a soul nor do I believe in God this doesn’t mean that I am immoral I think you should remember some of the worst crimes in history have been done in the name of your God
*applauds*
See I tend to think that sometimes, Pro life Christians forget the line "thou shalt not judge" and use specially selected parts of the Bible to impose force on other people, to gain control. Perhaps it is guilt or perhaps they want a good afterlife... Either way, if these people... Thinking feeling emotional people are so wrong in what they're doing, then God should punish them.
I just think sometimes you can be needlessly provocative. Its unnecessary because you in particular are MORE than capable of getting your point across in other ways.
He makes it clear that he sees abortion as "the deliberate termination of a human life". The Archbishop argues that the "sheer statistics" of rising numbers of abortions make a debate essential, as does the progress of science.
He writes: "Whether it is a matter of evidence about foetal sensitivity to outside stimuli (including pain), the nature of foetal consciousness or the expanding possibilities of saving early foetal life outside the womb, the trend is inexorably towards a sharper recognition of the foetus as a natural candidate for "rights" of some kind."
I say a foetus should be covered by Human Rights legislation, after all its being used by gypsies, immigrants, asylum seekers, gays, etc etc, why not the innocent unborn child?
Disagreeing with something doesn't mean you have to be blinkered about the way other people think. Most people here have gone out of their way to at least consider your views, if you really want to try and move this debate forward you should consider their viewpoint.
Are you also implying that it's wrong to consider gypsies, immigrants or gay people as human?
As someone else mentioned; Matthew 7:3 'And why seest thou the straw, which is in thy brother's eye, and perceivest not the beam which is in thine eye?'
'And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?'
"It's easy to see a smudge on your neighbour's face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own".
Either way, it's sound advice.
The Message is the equivalalent of the Shakespeare Made Easy books if you're familiar with them. Not direct translation, but tries to keep the meaning but in modern language.
God is dead. You never read Nietzsche?
You're taking the piss.
Why not the Koran? Why the Bible?
