Lines: 22 What, Umina haveta wade through twice as many screens because u double- spaced, wether (sic) a wants ta or not? Sparing you netlanders the trouble, umina introduces a lot of stuff that only has validity within a religious (specifically Judeo-Christian) context. Even then it's pretty weird. It (umina) thinks this debate can be stopped in its tracks because it believes in a God who has revealed the answers to this debate. (and who incidentally will punish dissenters) Listen umina, (partly) because I don't believe in a God, I can't be sure I know the answers. But your sureness *DOESN'T* make you right! It doesn't even make your ideas more right than mine. The abortion clinic bombers, Ayatollah Khomeini, some people on both sides of this debate, etc. *KNOW* they are right. Big deal. See all the articles in this news group that manage to debate morals, ethics and law separately from all this religious crap. Religion guides many people's morals, which is fine, but it doesn't prove anything. I managed to reduce 500 lines of point-by-point refutation, argument, and name-calling to this. Do I get a prize? not my opinions, not my employer's opinions
