Imagine A World Without Religion

[Vinty]

It’s not about ending a human life….that’s just pro lifers bolox

Phew! You are hard work Notch.
If abortion isn't about ending a life, what is it about.?
No straw men please.

A bit of irony in your post.
The "Wee Frees" were also banned from practising their religion.
In fact the Papists were emancipated before the Presbyterians.

Ulster Presbyterians were persecuted by the Anglo establishment so much that they were forced to emigrate to America and there they kick started the American revolution.
The law of unintended consequences eh.

From one glorious revolution to another

A world without religion?

Nature abhors a vacuum. What would these religious zealots that join together with large numbers of other religious zealots do every day without their 'god' in their lives? I mean, what would you do with all these empty, large-domed roofed buildings?

Stopping the disaster of an unwanted life.

You've apparently decided to take an off-the-shelf morality called a religion, of some description. Religions are inventions, each an artifice created by people.
If you think it's more than that, you have the problem you gave yourself.
You sure as hell can't foist your adopted mythologies on anyone else.

Would you want someone else's unwanted foetus? No? Hypocrite?

Even the non religious like to be hypocritcal about life. If a woman says life is so special, ask her why she hasn't produced kids constantly since she was fertile. Because it would be inconvenient? Oh, right, that special.

Basketball?
A bit like Gooners adopted a football club and wear the religious shirts all day. They support their "local" (full of foreigners) team.
Same sort of herd nonsense.

My daughter lost a child through miscarriage , she was very upset.

Very sad and emotional, but it was presumably a child she wanted to have?

But have you considered how sad and emotional it would be for a woman to be forced to go through a pregnancy she didn't want?

Stopping the disaster of an unwanted life.

And one wonders whether those advocating the abolition of the rights for women to choose would then be up in arms about the costs to the taxpayer of supporting the unwanted child

Vinty joins a long line of women hating religious nutters that trample on the rights of women. He even puts the life of an animal above that of human.

Sick b'stad.

 

[robinbanks]

There is definite difference between withdrawing life support, and ending a life that can exist without that support.

You're also talking about abortion right?

of supporting the unwanted child

And reparations for the life of crime it may well have fallen into. Freakonomics authors Donohue and Levitt argue that USA crime fell in the 90s not because of the zero tolerance approach developed in the 80s but because of the wider availability of abortion made possible in the 70s; the criminals of the 90s simply weren't being born any more

Would it be better?

Or worse?

Religion isnt the issue. People is the issue!

The religious nutcase, women hating men of this world, could not give a fig about her or her pain, her suffering or her rights.

Horrible b'stads.

Well they were banned from practicing the religion for a few hundred years so that was a start. Didn’t Lord McKay get kicked out of the wee frees for attending an RC funeral?

There was plenty of history before the Reformation, and they've had a good deal of influence since Catholic Emancipation in the early 19th century.

Religion isnt the issue

What are your thoughts on White Christian Nationalism, currently infecting the poorly educated morons across the Atlantic? They trumpet the fact that they think they have God on their side. This apparently gives them the right to an AR-15, the right to remove all reproductive freedoms from women, discount science as some kind of loony witchcraft and keep all those that are not white, beneath the soles of their boots.

Religion isnt the issue. People is the issue!

Religion is as inevitable a consequence of a creative populus, as it is to their detriment.

 

[Odds]

Religion is hard wired into the human psyche and cannot be eradicated by legislation or logic.
