11. So we have different beliefs, that's perfectly fine.

So we have different beliefs, that's perfectly fine.


No, it is NOT "perfectly fine". Not when I see you state things like this.


Any person who claims to be of solid science would be foolish to completely discount a creator in this mysterious universe we live in.


And, then, without pause, ,for the irony of the contrast between such bold self-contradictory statements:

The actions you mention don't at all sum up what God intends humans to do here on earth.


Incidentally, you left out half my description of the human experience on this planet, and substituted rather irrational assertions like:

God denies "rights" to everyone, not just gays.


You know al this HOW??? First Science is a poor teacher for you, but you know what God intends, and then can blithely claim God "denies rights" to some humans? Interesting you are so more well informed than "scientists", about what "God intends" and who has "rights".

God denies "rights" to everyone, not just gays.


No! human beings do that! Somehow you don't see these obvious facts, and are already attributing injustice to your own views of your own God. All babies born have the rights that fellow human beings either choose to give them or do not. God has nothing at all to do with what happens when a child is born, human beings have that responsibility.

So you're fine with a 9 month abortion?



Right out of left field, By the way, I never said a word about abortion, you brought that up, obviously confused between a women's bodily functioning in the realm of reproduction and the tools available to help that woman from ever concieving a child she does not wish to have.

Let's go on. You deny stillbirths? Should women that give birth to dead infants be punished? Some faiths stoned women who did not bear a male child. Some men were free to divorce those women in the Bible and move on, perhaps to the woman's own sister, or any other woman. This is the book that teaches you about your God?

You deny women dying in childbirth because of religious restrictions upon the practice of modern medicine? I think you only have to go to Ireland, in November, 2012, to find a Catholic Hospital that refused to save the life of a mother, based upon their Catholic faith. Here's a link to your belief in God to over-rule modern human rational life-saving activity. Are you in favor of only having sex for procreation? Is that your stance upon what your God wishes for all men and women, (notice I said 'men and women', it takes two to conceive, and two to have sexual relations, or it isn't really sex, now, is it?)?

Husband: Ireland hospital denied Savita Halappanavar life saving abortion because it is a "Catholic country"

I'm not sure what your point is here. You seem to be in a minority among people who profess to be Christians and Jewish folks and Agnostics and Atheists who post here. You seem to rely quite heavily and completely upon your unerring faith in your own version of a Christian God, and one that seems, at least to me, as a recent questioner of the vaule of any religion, (agnostic?) to be rather irresponsible, rather self-righteous, and rather condescending in your views upon women, the infirmed, th ehealth challenged, gays, and perhaps other groups of believers in a god figure.

Perhaps you can start your own thread with a list of your "opinions". You seem to be very devout in whatever they are, and yet surprisingly naive when it comes to the experience of Homo sapiens over the last few hundred thousand years, preferring a relatively recent only 2000 year old Christian God over any of the others, and asserting a rather evidentially unfounded certainty that your devout faithfulness is superior to alll other groups of faithful who have justified injustice according to their own god visions.
