Re: Check this anti-abortion site out.

For profit? You do realize that Planned Parenthood is a non-profit organization right? What I meant, was that doctors get paid to kill babies. . You are right, if abortion was illegal, then licensed medical professionals would not be able to perform these procedures. Why is that a good thing? Becau...

Re: What Would the World Look Like if Run by New Atheists?

http://www.secularhumanism.org/index.php?section=library&page=pzuckerman_26_5 Many sites such as this claim: lower infant mortality, crime, and even abortions rates have gone down in secular societies. But, looking at societies as a whole and trying to find correlations between these things is h...

Re: Check this anti-abortion site out.

If you are truly pro-life, wouldn't you want to support these types of organizations? Support an organization that wantonly kills human beings, and hides that fact by claiming their real mission is stopping unwanted pregnancies? Is that a rhetorical question? You honestly believe they WANT to kill ...

Re: Check this anti-abortion site out.

Well, in industrialized countries, abortions are one of the safest medical procedures performed. Any statistic that is thrown out there saying otherwise is using the deaths in countries where abortions are not a medical procedure. Ivellious, if an abortion is successful in its goal to end the pregn...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

Pierson I think whats being meant here is that without God there is no ultimate objective meaning. We live we die and we blink into nothingness. If this is true then why does anything we do have any meaning at all. This is what a nihilist told me when I asked about the difference between a nihilist...

Re: Check this anti-abortion site out.

This is an interesting topic. I'm curious as to what everyone's take on the various studies showing that rates of abortion worldwide are the same whether the procedure is legal or illegal.* Not to mention when it is illegal, many women end up dying from the illegal procedures. Instead of outlawing a...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

First, your assumption is that if your children go to a church they are going to have the same experience as you. Hellfire preaching has scarred a lot of people. It attempts to coerce people into a decision through fear tactics. That doesn't mean Hell is or isn't real. That is a consequential falla...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

ANSWER: You know, I do not think that Church will hurt the child at all. The bible is not damaging to children whatsoever. I would say definitely allow church at any age, but you yourself need to find truthful and non contradictory ways to speak to your child on faith issues. One perhaps being that...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

Probably the best thing you could do is get to know the teachers involved, tell them of your concern and know what is going on in the class. Your presence and involvement will probably have more impact and give you a greater sense of ease as to what is being taught to your child. Perhaps, as well, ...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

I'm just going to be open, studies show more people leave the church who went to Sunday school at a younger age compared to the ones who never went. Okay, now what I was going to say. Honestly, you are going to damage your child for having two separate beliefs. One being an atheistic belief and one...

Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

Good evening everyone, I hope I'm posting in the correct thread. I'm an atheist in a relationship with a theist. We've been together a little over 2 years and have had serious conversations about marriage and how we would raise our future children. I was raised christian and "lost my faith"...
