@kellyjay saidHosea 9:10-16 said God (your God) would punish the Israelites by destroying their unborn children, who will die at birth, or perish in the womb. - "Give them wombs that miscarry."
Do you open wombs for someone to conceive? Do you shut them so some don’t? You simply are justifying the deaths of our unborn as if you are divinity, you are not, you don’t even own you body, God also gave that to you. Look what you are supporting that people do with theirs!
Yes, yes, God can do anything He likes because He is God, and we are all going to die at some point so what does it matter if God kills us in the womb?

Page 6. The same page she made her position blatantly obvious. (And yet 5 posts on there you are again, asking the same inane question).
@ghost-of-a-duke saidAbsolutely, so just to be clear, I'm not in favour of capital punishment. I was sort of theorizing, which is about all one can do in the end when faced with this dilemma, in which there are no 'moral absolutes', which is why it remains such a contentious issue. Nobody I'm sure is 'in favour' of consciously aborting embryos, which I daresay is a traumatic experience for the woman concerned, and one can only really form ones' own opinions, mine being that a woman must have control of her own body, and of her own future, albeit that this isn't morally absolute either. At least I don't have to worry about any god, since I don't believe there is one.
Innocent people of course have faced capital punishment.
@suzianne saidThere is no hypocrisy, dodging or resort to ad hominems from me here.
Isn't that called hypocrisy?
Earlier this year you cited the anti-abortion stance of millions and millions of conservative Christians in your country as an example of how they allegedly cannot possibly be followers of Christ. This raises an interesting question:
Can opposition to abortion credibly be characterized as unchristian on account of it supposedly being misogynistic?

@ghost-of-a-duke saidYes vengeance belongs to the Lord, a just recompense is not vengeance.
"Vengeance is mine, and recompense,.." Deuteronomy 32:35
Giving the green light to capital punishments obliterates all of your Christian morality and makes your views on abortion a nonsense.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou have a point?

@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou in the habit of quoting only part of a text to prove a point?

@indonesia-phil saidWithout God what exactly do you look for when it comes to moral absolutes, consensus?
