Comments by "June VanDerMark" (@junevandermark952) on "Abortion still 'grave sin, ending innocent life' - Pope Francis" video.

  1. Men of religion used and still use the word "sin" to suggest that a god exists that is offended. At one time, the Catholic hierarchy preached that up until the "quickening," which was approximately 4 1/2 months into gestation, that abortion [according to "God"] was not murder. You will see their lies, but only when you are willing and ready. Been there ... did that. In earlier times, the Catholic church had one of the most powerful armies on earth ... and they needed women to stay pregnant, to supply the baby boys needed to grow to men and fight in their army. And it was all done in the name of Jesus. They killed everyone they labeled as being heretics, and then they preached, and preached some more ... that "sin" offended "God." Joe Biden does not work for the Catholic church. His job must be separate from his personal religious indulgences. Otherwise religion is not separate from government ... which is the basic rule of the Constitution.

  3. Yes, we have a pro-choice President, which means that he goes against the pope and the Catholic teaching that abortion is offensive to the supposed god. Yet the pope honored him with communion. Neither one of them are being faithful to their own religious teachings, which should tell us that even they no longer believe what they were taught is literal truth from a god. Donald Trump was pro-choice before he ran for office of President, and needed all those evangelical votes, and then he had the nerve to say that women that have abortions should be punished. At least Joe Biden didn't pretend to be anti-abortion to win votes. And for that, I respect him.

  6. Such double-talk. Within theology, it's said that humans are born in sin, so that means that abortion does not end "innocent" life, as [within theology] one can't be a sinner and be innocent at the same time. The two stories don't coincide.
