  • It is “religion” but not religion. If it were, as I said, there surely would be more compassion after the baby is born. You can’t have it both ways.

    For anyone capable of logical thought being against abortion cannot co-exist with almost every other aspect of US social care and also align with any existing religious belief that I know of.

  • I think you confuse religious reality with the benign stories that religious groups like to tell about themselves. There will of course be compassion towards people in their in-group even if they are paedophiles or murderers. Most Christians in western societies are mostly in it for the holidays and maybe have some left over esoteric belief in a god but don't really live their lives
    according to Christian dogmas. You can see that often in the outrage when a Pope says something stupid about women or homosexuality.

    People who don't believe themselves will have a harder time understanding that others might
    believe.

    For anyone capable of logical thought
    any existing religious belief

    you can't have it both.

  • People abuse the terms "logic" and "logical", conflating them with "correct", "reasonable" and various other things that mostly boil down ro "what I think is right". An argument or line of reasoning can start from false/weak axioms and still be entirely logical.
