The Bible itself doesn't say anything bad about abortion. The god itself even aborts women's babies, so I doubt it would care. I don't think Hindus or many of those other religions have anything against abortion in their holy books either. Culturally, American Christians say they are against it, but American Christians say they are against everything on paper. They still have the same rate of STDs, homosexuality, rape, murder, abortion, violence and drug addiction as anyone else. They are still human after all. |

That's not specific enough, though. It doesn't specify unborn, so the reader has to assume it's talking about living children. Besides, there are plenty of scripture in both Numbers and Hosea that describe god-sanctioned abortions. It wouldn't sanction it sometimes if abortion was just supposed to always be wrong. |

Nobody pretends to be Christian, except for maybe the occasional non-believer who is just scared to come out. What you're exercising is a logical fallacy called the "No True Scotsman Fallacy." A person disagreeing with you or behaving in a way that you do not feel is Christian does not automatically make them devil worshipers or pretenders.

Oh, there are statistics on everything. One way to look at this is to take a look at the prison population when you're thinking of things like rape, violence or murder. The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirms that almost 100% of prisoners have some religious affiliation. Here's a link about it, but I'm sure you can google for more information on that same issue: [link to ffrf.org] As far as STDs and sex, here's a link that explains how Christian teens have sex and STDs at the same rate as other teens: [link to www.answering-christianity.com] The only issue you might not find solid statistics on is homosexuality, since so many people are closeted and don't self-report. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6858912 Revealing true statistics about abortion isn't the same thing as bashing. Backwards is when people say things that are false, nonsensical or just erroneous and other people go along with it. That's not what this is. These are real statistics about an actual issue. And claiming that women have abortions isn't "bashing" them. The bottom line isn't that abortion is murderer. That's your view, but that isn't the bottom line. Just because you think it doesn't make it the bottom line. I agree that the Bible god condones abortion, but yes, you would need to quote the Bible any time you're talking about what the Bible says. That's just "common" sense. |

Well that isn't a valid point any more, and it's dishonest on your behalf. The reason I say this is because you were the person who originally threw out scripture. Remember? Matt 8:16. You were the one who did that first, so it's intellectually dishonest for you to say now that quoting specific verses is meaningless. You yourself initiated it. Also because tl;dr-ing an entire chapter would only be my subjective summary, which you may or may not agree with. It would be my interpretation. Plus it wouldn't point to specifics, it would be too vague. I would definitely argue that context has nothing to do with it anyway. If I were to say, "it's good to rape," there IS NO context EVER, AT ALL, that would make that justified. People use context to justify immoral things and that isn't okay. |
