Have you ever thought about....

[UT IE 95]

Once again I don't claim to have the answers but in my view to only allow "lesser forms" of evil would mean that on the opposite end there could only be lesser forms of goodness and love. It is kind of like science, (you'll love this) "every action has an equal and opposite reaction".

I also believe that he allows things to happen on Earth that many see as horrible or bad, I do believe we are "tested" by our life experiences, some more than others. Remember our life on Earth is very short, the life after is much more important in the grand scheme of things (if you believe), so in essence your life on Earth, no matter how horrible it was, will be beyond belief in the afterlife (if you choose to believe).

That's in the Book of Newton, right?

Great outlook. We should open elimination camps for all people that are dragging down society.

Liberals? :naughty:

It is bad logic heaped upon bad ethics.

As opposed to poor ethics heaped upon poor grammar?

I had no idea that this was the procedure for Partial Birth Abortions. Wow!!

A. Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby's leg with
forceps. (Remember this is a live baby)
B. The baby's leg is pulled out into the birth canal.
C. The abortionist delivers the baby's entire body, except for the head.
D. The abortionist jams scissors into the baby's skull. The scissors
are then opened to enlarge the hole.
E. The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The
child's brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead
baby is then removed.

How could a person perform this procedure?

A very sick person! I did a speech in class one day and this and actually had pictures. I also had the scriptures to back it up as to why it was wrong.

One of these ducks is not like the others...

Great logic though, maybe we avoided someone who killed 30-40 people by killing 48,000,000 babies.

Even if we avoided the next Hitler and Stalin combined, that only brings the total to 30,000,000 saved from Genocide.

These arguments are fantastic and fun, too!

Missed my point. I was saying bad people vs good people. Also, again I am not saying whether I am against abortion or for it. I was just saying just as many potentially bad people would be eliminated as good in response to the original post. I was not justifying the act.

And, I am saying that the arithmetic is way off as it is applied to "abortions might have stopped the next Hitler."

and I am saying that I have a 2 year on my lap, and it is difficult to discuss this at the moment...

I never said I was for or against it. I just said that there is just as good of a possiblity that potentially evil people were aborted as potentially good people. That's all.

innocent until proven guilty applies for babies to lol

I would like to know where on this tread have I ever said that I am for abortion. What I said with regards to the original post is that the chances of eliminating a potentially good person are no more than eliminating a potentially bad person.....mathmatics wise. The original post was wondering about how many potential inventors, doctors, etc. that were not born due to abortions. My statement does not condon or condemn the act itself.

Personally, I have 4 great kids, and I would have never wanted my wife to abort our child. Can I understand someone else doing it? I am not here to judge, I am not in their shoes. I will leave that to God.
