Productive argument

 i think that this discussion will not be fruitful in any way as long as the terminology isn't established.. We need to be on the same page first, to have the same definition of "Life" and its "anthropic importance" before we can continue.


What I'm saying is, as long as there is no persuasive argument against the abrahamic God's existence/omnibenevolency (as this seems to be an interpretation of His law), any discussion will be futile, due to the simple fact that the concept of God is a foot in the door that introduces the factor of divine inerrancy, which vetoes any rational thought on basis of a claim, and this brings a flood of a whole doCtrine that does not fit the bill for the burden of proof it has.


it is explicitly shown that YHWH does condone such acts. That is fact. But I'm referring to the concept of an omnibenevolent God that the people here most likely believe in, since theists have and can always cherry pick their verses to define the ideals of their current morality. the heart of this argument is not in the subject of abortion_____ it is in the Word of God (that one believes to be omnibenevolent)?


 [1] i know believers would bring up the justification of how this is a jealous and righteous God at work, doling out judgement bcs he's the cause and the effect and he holds the rights to create and destroy,, like the flood as a genocide? [2] There's a ton of scripture to deal with, and apologists will defend every one of them in unique ways, but one popular defense for Christians would be Jesus (of the new testament) spreads the message contrary to the pillaging in the Old Testament, as the judgement of death for sin in general is already paid by hiS ultimate sacrifice.


Christians believe in an omnibenevolent God. Unfortunately, to deny God's omnibenevolence would only bring alternative interpretations of doctrine into the picture. we would have to deny God's existence as a basis for the moral argument of abortion as an objective sin, as, want it or not, this current belief system of Christianity holds on to the idea that God has mandated modern pro-life perspectives as his Law.


tldr: if we accept that God doesn't exist, his laws don't either. If we accept that God exists, we'll be stuck forever trying to piece out which interpretive literary piece of the Bible can and can't be trusted

7 WAYS for achieving your purpose

 CHOOSE YOUR DIRECTION make use of free will.   Jesus and the blind man. Why does Jesus ask him what he wants when it is obvious he want to see? Choose area (learning, marriage, finance, friendships) of importance to you, and make 3-10 goals. What measurable  and compelling goal is possible? Set the goal, and then you have the direction. Reticular activating system: it helps you find whatever you are focusing on.  E.g. Search for blue items. Okay, how many purple items are there? you don't know. Because you only focus on what you look for. Your brain gets excited and get power the moment it knows what direction it is about to take. Decide  your exact deadline when you will achieve it. Also, ascertain what you want to sacrifice . (time/money/patience/difficult situations) The price will be  "Where there is no vision, people perish"-Solomon  CHOOSE YOUR REASONS Do you have insight to yourself? Be a person of deep water, look deeper. Introspect. What...

Conflating the liberty of freedom and burden of choice, and finding the balance in between

"...the individual ceases to be himself; he adopts entirely the kind of personality offered to him by cultural patterns; and he therefore becomes exactly as all others are and as they expect him to be...The person who gives up his individual self and becomes an automaton, identical with millions of other automatons around him, need not feel alone and anxious any more. But the price he pays, however, is high; it is the loss of his self." -Escape From Freedom by Erich Fromm, first published by Holt, Rineheart and Winston, New York, 1941. http://www.alternativeinsight.com/Escape_from_freedom.html and then comes the question many strive to answer; what do we risk to lose when we are already in an individualised state of mind? Even more, i think. The attraction of the self makes it even harder to conform, whilst the pressure for conformity never ceases—in fact the pressure exponentially increases—staring you down through that bright screen all day and for most of the night. Freedo...
