A couple things.
1. The early Church, including some Apostles, thought "the end times" were imminent. People have not stopped thinking this for 2000 years. I think the conclusion here is obvious.
2. Anti-abortion laws, especially the extra draconian ones in Texas, have nothing to do with "protecting babies". They are about continuing the regime of oppression and subjugation of women that they lost control of beginning in the 60s. That's it. They do not care about "babies", they care about control.
3. Even if they cared about "babies", there's that whole "Congress shall make no law respecting religion" bit. Christianity is not entitled to define what life is, when it starts, and who or what violates their ideas. You call it murder. Some people call meat murder. Notice how it's left up to individuals to decide about eating animals?
- akimbostrawman 1y agoArguing that being against killing babies can only have something to do with being christian, only makes my obviously polemic expression more fitting. You don't need religion to see and point out evil. If a man uses his freedom to make a bad choice and end a human life for there own selfish reason, nobody would bat an eye if he got rightfully punished, they even would demand it. If you apply the same standards to a women it suddenly becomes a political and moral issue and how dare you take away there freedom to take a life. Equating your own kind, even literal own flesh and blood to other animals to justify there killing surely can only mean we live in great times.
- RajT88 1y agoIronically, the Old Testament - which a lot of these folks admire in various ways - God was perfectly comfortable killing babies as long as they were the wrong kind of babies.
