Jesus Tap-Dancin' Christ

I saw this exact bumpersticker yesterday. God is Pro-Life. God? Are we talking about God-who-drowned-the-world? God-who-killed-the-firstborn-of-Egypt? God-who-wasted-Sodom-and-Gomorrah-with-fire-and-brimstone? GOD? PRO-LIFE? After that shit?

Anyhow, needed to vent.

Are most humans pro-life (not just in abortion terms)? If so, why do we execute humans, shoot them in war, and bomb homes with women and children in them? I guess by your logic, most of humanity isn't pro-life.

And of course, God is pro-eternal-life

NeoApostate

Yeah, especially for those who will suffer in burning fire for that eternal life. Go God!

At least those wacky JWs believe infidels will be destroyed instead.

Well said Magus! :notworthy

You call that logic? Read the OP: he was referring to "God." What do humans have to do with the topic? Nonsequiter.

"God" doesn't exist, but if he did, the Bible speaks volumes against what you just said.

That must be why he doesn't value life on earth very much. Since this life is very short in the scheme of things, we humans need to try to get as much out of it as possible, since we don't know what comes afterwards, or even if there is any afterlife.

Philosoft

I'd say the thing that gives me the most pause about God's alleged pro-life status is the 40-60% of zygotes (fertilized eggs - that magic time when a "new human" is created) that spontaneously abort.

Magus55

Why is God anti-life by judging humans, but humans are pro-life by bombing women and children? Its a double standard.



Since you don't actually know this, can't prove it, [removed] i'll ignore this comment.

The U.S.A. was founded, in part, on the idea that we have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The founding fathers may have held these truths to be self-evident, but there is nothing in the Bible to suggest such rights. (Perhaps this is why the First Amendment and the First Commandment directly contradict each other.)

Right, Valdemar. "god" is a human fiction; and asserting "him" doesn't accomplish a damn thing. And attributing opinions & behaviours (such as "his" punitive responses) to "god"-the-NON-est, to support human assertions-of-value, is junk.
