The Authority For Morality.

[Theland]

What do you consider the ultimTe authority for morality?

I believe it is God.

[naomi24]

Oh no, theland. That won’t do at all. It simply isn’t right. Perhaps you’ll find one of your expert Christian apologists willing to explain it to you ... but I doubt it. They tend to like to leave gaps in their education.

[Theland]

Naomi - Please explain.
I'm off now for an hour or two back later.

[naomi24]

Read your Bible.

[Theland]

Here's a world famous atheist lecturer, Daniel Dennett.
Does he make sense?

I know you don't like videos, but this 26 minutes should explain everything.

Watch it before criticising.

26 mins? I doubt I'd stay awake mate.

[Theland]

Mozz - Then I hope you never have to do jury duty:-)

[Mozz71]

I'd be okay Theland. I have faith in MY own morality ;-)

[Theland]

Like a god?

[naomi24]

Theland, //Mass abortion is mass sacrifice. //

Is abortion acceptable if it's for sacrifice?

[Theland]

In my opinion, abortion is justified when the health of the mother is in danger.
But abortion for social and financial reasons is taking an innocent life unnecessarily.
Does that answer you?

[naomi24]

Theland, No, it doesn’t. You constantly extol the virtues of the bible as the ultimate source of morality. I intimated that God justifies mass abortion, which you were clearly unaware of. Nevertheless, getting a sniff of that, but not actually knowing what you were talking about, you immediately justified it by saying ‘Mass abortion is mass sacrifice’. Not according to the bible. Read it.

[Theland]

Not so Naomi. Yes I have read the relevant passages in the OT.

[naomi24]

If you've read them, why ask me to explain? Furthermore, how does what I would consider pretty disgusting - and that's putting it mildly - equate with what you claim is the ultimate morality of the bible?

[Theland]

Then you fail to understand Gods nation building for the young Israel.

[naomi24]

More ducking and diving, Theland.

[Theland]

Not so Naomi. Answers and comments from you are always sadly lacking in detail, but plentiful in sniping.

[naomi24]

No sniping here, Theland. You disagree with abortion on grounds of morality - unless God who you claim to be the ultimate beacon of morality - is responsible. Hypocritical doesn’t begin to cover that.

I can see where someone might find abortion objectionable. What I do not understand is why those who 'pray to end abortion' never seem to pray to end unwanted pregnancies. Seems like that would be the (more) logical approach to eliminating abortion before such a procedure even needs to be considered. I find the whole anti-abortion crusade rather disingenuous.

[Theland]

Mibs - I totally agree.
