Yet elite Roman and Greek citizens would have a slave boy or girl for sex.
Those evil Romans and Greeks. Numbers 31:17-18 totally okay though. 🤦♂️

40This one bible passage proves abortions are wrong and honoring Mary is right
by TTWSYF innwt luke chapt 1.
41 well, as elizabeth heard the greeting of mary, the infant in her womb leaped, and elizabeth was filled with holy spirit 42 and loudly cried out: “blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruitage of your womb!
43 so how is it that this privilege is mine, to have the mother of my lord come to me?

TTWSYF:
Jeff- Interesting passages for an adulterous wife. Clearly she bears more guilt than the adulterous husband. I do not consider those passages as an indicator that abortion is ok. It is like when Jesus said not to divorce and was rebutted with 'Moses said we could.' Jesus replied that it was because of 'your hardness of heart'.
The superstitious ritual for determining ‘guilt’ relies on ‘God doing a magic thing’ (though back in reality, whether the woman miscarries would have nothing to do with whether she’s ‘guilty’), so it can’t just be explained away as merely ‘Moses said we could’.

Does Politics Affect Your Entertainment Decisions and Choices?
by minimus inif coke disturbed you because of a certain stance would you stop buying coke?
would you stop watching a sport if a certain view was politicized?.
would you boycott a certain product because you did not agree with the corporation’s opinions?

I like Diet Coke
Ewww. Definitely prefer Coke over Pepsi, but aspartame tastes awful so it would be normal Pepsi over Diet Coke.

No. But I do tend to avoid (but not anything like a ‘boycott’) companies that have their ads interrupting what I’m watching on YouTube or that deliver physical or electronic unsolicited marketing.
People howling at the wind that they’re going to ‘boycott’ some global company because of xyz don’t seem to realise that the companies have usually already done the math.

The Bible explicitly sanctions abortion for adultery (Numbers 5:16-31), incorporating a superstitious ritual to determine 'guilt'.

Complexity, Evolutionists Biggest Problem
by Sea Breeze inrecently, some scientists modeled one of the simplest known cells - that of a bacteria.
it took an army of 128 computers running for 10 hours to process the data required in the 25 categories of molecules that are involved in this "simple cells'" life processes.
think about that for a moment - 128 computers running for 10 hours just to compute the data, not actually do it mind you; but just to model the known processes in one of the simplest known cells, which is many orders of magnitude simpler than a human cell.

So you believe that observable cause and effects are rooted in time, but the first (unguided) cause that created everything may not have been rooted in time?
No. Refer to previous.

Sea breeze:
So you believe that every effect has a cause except for the first one? Is that a fair statement of your position?
Again, no. Given the current understanding of how time and gravity are interrelated, it cannot be determined whether time even existed ‘before’ the initial expansion of the local universe. Beyond that, I don’t make any claim about what happened. But I certainly don’t subscribe to a special pleading fallacy about an infinitely complex magical sky friend that always existed.
Also, your discussion technique, with the leading questions and changing the subject without admitting that you’ve misrepresented my position, is a little tedious.

Sea breeze:
So, If I understand your assumption correctly, what you are saying is that everything we see is a result of natural unguided processes because we see them, making the probability (for us) exactly one.
Is that a fair assessment?No. 🤦♂️
First off, I didn’t make an assumption. There is no evidence of any ultimate ‘cause’ other than natural processes. That does not inherently preclude a supernatural cause, but you would need to provide evidence of any proposed supernatural cause. Arguments from incredulity are not evidence for a preferred religious or otherwise superstitious or unfounded belief. The fact that something has happened means the probability that the thing has happened is one. Notions of assigning significance to humans seeing a particular thing as if the act of seeing it influences the outcome of past events are superstitious and irrelevant.

It is true in a way that is unremarkable and entirely incidental to the discussion.
Unless you are claiming that ‘evolutionists’ (actually just biologists) assert that evolution ‘plans’ for specific outcomes before the process begins. Which would be an idiotic misrepresentation.
