Re: Murder
quote:
We need to change our society's idea about the value of any human life so we can have a uniform code of conduct, single minded goal for the human race instead of moral rights and wrongs that can wavier with each administration change.
Great idea..next time vote for anybody but Bush so that perhaps someone who actually values human life can get elected...unless you consider the bank accounts of Halburton and Bechtel to be a "sacred human life".
quote:
Either all human life is sacred or none of it is.
Let me guess...you are probably pro death penalty?
quote:
Personally I wish that our leaders would step up to the plate, come out and say that because we are an evolved being, as long as the human race survives in some form, individule life is of no consequence or importance so let's have at it. Like it or detest it, at least we'd all be on the same page and we could support our stance by evoultion and mathmatics which, in it's purest form has no emotions, feelings or biases.
Interesting since you are conflating atheism with acceptance of the ToE, then by your logic, if you were not a fundie zealot you would find it okay to go out and murder people wildly and for fun because the only thing holding you back from what you actually want to do is your A) Fear of some non-apparent diety, pink unicorn, higher-middle-lower power kicking the crap out of you when you die B) You will get some huge afterlife reward where you can lounge around in your underwear being fed pickles by the Sports Illustrated swimsuit models....just goes to show you (by your logic), your average atheist has a higher ethical standard than ANY fundie. They can recognize the value of life without the promise of reward or the fear of supernatural harm...and by the way, is it only atheist doctors performing abortions and atheists having them ?
quote:
We are taught in school that we are an evolved state of billions of acidents that have arose by chance over millions of years as the laws of mathmatics and the dynamics of chaos exert their force
I see your knowledge of the ToE is as pathetic as your knowledge of the abortion debate How about trying and informing youself?...you never know, you might like it.
quote:
Why do people all of a sudden bring emotion into it instead of just calling it like it is. Because weather you or I live or die or are aborted, we're just another glob of DNA resopnding to enviornment and randomness. Nothing more.
Actually, if was people such as Darwin who recognized the DIVERSITY of life and tried to develope a testable hypothesis to explain it. People like YOU ignore the diversity of life in favor of worshipping an error prone book written by people who did not know jack about biology. And there is much more reason to fear religious zealots who claim to be doing God's will to protect the sacredness of life than just about anybody else...you guys tend to blow things up, shoot people or fly planes into tall buildings.
After you put your blob of DNA to bed you might want to take your blobulous self to the library and find out what the ToE actually states rather than continuing to embarass yourself here...you would not want your little blob to realize big daddy blob is missing a few base pairs in some critical genes involved in neural development.
