Thread: ABORTION: Where do you stand?

I think you'll find you are the one deluding yourself in believing in things such as souls, to give your own life meaning. That's fine, whatever. People define their own lives and purpose, that is the point. Souls are not only non-existent, but superfluous as well.

Also, does it really matter that much to you whether you were 'created' for a 'purpose'? Why do you need a magical 'soul' to want to live?



You seem to be missing the point. No one wants to kill children. That is absurd.

The fact is, the vast majority of fetuses which are aborted are hardly human-like, are very small, have nearly no central nervous system, and cannot survive on their own- that is, they would die without direct support from their mother from within the womb. They are not their own person, they only have the potential, much as an unfertilized egg or sperm.

BLAH. I'm not debating if souls are real with you or not, at least not right now, I lack the patience for it. You can't prove your point and I can't prove mine. You are free to believe that you are a slightly more intelligent animal with no purpose, except for the magical one you somehow give to yourself.

And I fully agree that people, as a general rule, do not want to kill children. However, people do have a selfishness problem.

Prove to me that we do have a soul. You're the one making the existential claim here, not me, and it's what your whole argument is based on. I've only said that I don't think they exist, not that they don't as a fact.

LOL, would it make you feel better if I said I "think" souls exist? Do we really have to play word games like that? I never said, "I have solid proof souls are real", I said this is my opinion, meaning this is what I think.

Corona please Sloth, with lemon.
