You are the sick one and in need of healing.
Can you respond to this? I posted something similar not long ago but it was either missed or deliberately ignored.[edit]Sorry, my mistake, Robbie replied to the post but did not actually answer my questions, just said it was my fault that someone was gullible several thousand years ago. Quite how that relates to God's inaction in the face of thousands of miscarriages every day is beyond me. So it looks like my questions were not missed, just deliberately ignored. So I will ask them again.[/edit]
If I saw a child drowning in a lake and I just had to reach out to pull him to safety, I would not hesitate. Your god concept walks on by a similar situation thousands of times every day.
Therefore, one of the following is true:
- God does not consider the death of the unborn child to be abhorrent.
- God is incapable of preventing the death of an unborn child, despite being the creator of the entire universe and everything in it.
- God is malicious.
- God does not exist.
So which is it?

But according to your faith, we are God's creation and God is outside time and knows all and sees all. So when God created Adam & Eve, he already knew exactly what they would do. Indeed he made them that way. He is also responsible for putting in place an abominable mechanism whereby the actions of a naive and gullible couple generations ago somehow invokes ...[text shortened]... of billions of unborn children. Fortunately though, he doesn't actually exist.

intervene, for it would have settled no issue, not the issue of Gods Universal
sovereignty, that is whether God has the right to set moral limits and thus the creation
was subject to futility, not because of God, but because of those seeking independence
from God and wishing to establish their own morality, thus sin or if you prefer,
imperfection, entered the system and that is why miscarriages and sickness of all sorts
occurs and that is why any reference you attempt to make to God as the
perpetrator of any murderous act is an instant FAIL.
You are the sicko, attempting to justify the unlawful killing of millions of human beings
under the guise of convenience, sickest thing i think I've heard to be honest and the
most selfish, its all right for you to have life but not other people?

This from someone who follows a faith that denies it's adherents life-giving blood transfusions?
of murder, another weak and beggarly attempt to circumvent the reality of moral
relativism and its horrendous disrespect for human life.

mask the horror of materialistic thinking which views life as a mere collection of cells,
horrendous!

If the death of an unborn child is an abomination.
Then your God concept is culpable for thousands of such deaths every single day.
Because he is perfectly capable of preventing those deaths.
I personally do not knowingly cause any of those deaths (and I don't think anybody else does either) and I would be unable to prevent them if I did. God may not cause them but he is aware of them and he is capable of preventing them. therefore he is culpable for allowing them to happen.

brought into the world when humankind rebelled, seeking moral independence, God
has merely let time go by so that the issue of universal sovereignty and Gods right to
dictate morality shall be settled, clearly it was not subject to futility by God, but through
the act of rebellion. You are capable of going to some beleaguered nation and helping
someone who is starving, does that make you culpable for every death due to
starvation if you dont intervene, for that is what you are saying.

edit - considering this, your comment regarding 'horrendous disrespect for human life' must surely seem ill-considered?

determination, that is a personal choice, please note the term personal, it does not
condemn other people to death, a rather fatal flaw in your argument! Florid, I like!

Originally posted by robbie carrobieSo you advocate personal choice to follow your faith and condemn children to death or not follow and respect their right to life? And yet you feel justified crying 'murder' at the rape-victim's (who has for the sake of argument made the choice to not follow your religion) choice of abortion?
