About that whole rape, pregnancy and "God's will" thing...

OMG...now that's a scary thought.

all is lost. And reason is to the religulously insane as toilet seats are to hockey - utterly irrelevant.

every abortion "something that God intended."

Lucifer's work??? Making males rape? Are these people Devil Worshippers???

Start throwing the words, Lucifer, Satan, and Devil around about these RW creeps and they'll STFU.

And Mormons....the Fundy RW knows little about this religion. Maybe they like Satan every now and then when it is to their benefit.

I am surrounded by crazy Fundies. I love saying 'Satan' around them. It stops them in their tracks.

A rapist is in reality an instrument of evil and God is NOT suppose to be evil, so how can a result of rape be God's intention?

God intends for evil to flourish?

Oh you right-to-lifer Christians, always twisting logic and promoting Satan. Just like those right-to-lifer murders and bombers. Doing evil in service of Satan, I mean God. Oh my how Satan and God are so mixed together in a right-to-lifer's mind.

it isn't far from the public square where women get stoned for being raped. After all, the men could not be expected to control their impulses.

dudes can't control their sexual impulses, are they prez material? And I doubt they should be allowed to deal with money, do you?

then how can anyone separate "God's Will" from the human factor when it comes to murder, dismemberment, torture, disease, illness, lying, cheating, loud and lavicious laughter, prostitution, working on the Sabbath, dishonoring parents, impregnating minors, the human sex slave trade and taking the Lards name in vain?

(The religious debates are so tiresome.)

Succinct and on point. K&R

And love the "Queen" reference, too! Love that song.

Harry Potter!!

Hell, you probably go against the will of God if you resist, or afterwards summon the police....

of how the wheels have just come off the train completely. For as much as the right lauds Reagan, he'd have a snowball's chance in hell of being elected in the current Republican party. They're quite practiced at ignoring history and facts anyway.

Especially their own.

Even evil? That's not quite how I remember it from Sunday School. Maybe this guy was a dropout.

Satan is the source of all evil. If rape is evil, it comes from Satan. Therefore, how can a pregnancy from rape be God's will?

Ask 'em this and watch for the puzzled look.

...bzzzzt...does not compute...bzzzt...

It does make sense.

You know, to test us, or something. Or maybe it's punishment. And what can you expect from a vengeful Mesopotamian deity?

Let's be scientific about this. Figments of imagination are personal and there is no outside counterpart to imagination. "I imagined it, therefore it is" is pure poppycock. And that, my friends, is the gist of this problem. The cure is education. Magical thinking is bullshit.

refuted religion with the most basic logic. It still remains true today. Core truths have a wat of doing that.

God is all-powerful.
God is perfectly good.
Evil exists.
If God exists, there would be no evil.
Therefore God does not exist.
-- Epicurus , his logical formmulation which we have dubbed the "Epicurean Riddle"; quoted from William Hart, Evil: A Primer (2004), pages 28-29

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?
-- David Hume, echoing the logical formulation that we have dubbed the "Epicurean Riddle"; quoted from William Hart, Evil: A Primer (2004), pages 28-29

BTW, I do not consider Buddhism to be a "religion" because it categorically rejects the notion of a godhead or a messiah.

To quote Stephen Colbert: "This just in, Jesus has quit!"

What would the gigantic corporations that rule the U.S.A. do if they were forced to obey the Golden Rule or embrace concepts like Christian charity?

This is the inevitable result when you think logic has a liberal bias.

He prayed death and destruction on many groups and certainly was not a strong supporter of women's rights, except if they could turn their earnings over to his coffers.

It's fatalist BS that precludes any sense of morality and responsibility.
