  1. They're not pacifists, it's because they can't easily fulfill they're ceremonial obligations in the army.

  6. Fascism is false religion, just as Islam misinterprets Yehovah God as "Allah", fascism idolises tradition and strength in place of God.

  8. It's my choice what I do with my body. I do not get the right to harm others, because their bodies aren't mine, and this includes taking the lives of the unborn. A baby has different DNA from its mother, they have a different and separate body.

  9. Legalizing murder is encouraging it. The evil of abortion MUST be opposed.

  10. Morality is determined by the correct functioning of humanity in the universe. If God is real, then morality is nessercerily dictated by what the right way to serve Him is, if there is no God, morality comes from how humanity can best insure the correct and optimal functioning of the universe. So is there a reason to belive in God? Does the evidence support the existance of such a deity?

  11.  @captaindave88  Would you claim that no killing can ever be justified? That in no instance whatsoever it can be considered moral? Morality is the judgement of when extreme means must be used to prevent a worse alternative. Religion sets a variety of standereds around what is absolutely forbidden, what is permissible only in extremis, and so on. Atheism likewise seeks to set such standards. So which standard works best? On the one hand, religion is responsible for the crusades, the inquisition, the war of society of the God-worshipping society and many other instances of clear immorality perpetrated in the name of God. On the other, Atheism is responsible for the Holodomor, the cultural revolution, the Campuchean reign of blood and other examples of clear immorality perpetrated in the name of there not being a God. If we are to judge in this way, religion does come out with less bloody hands, but only because Atheism only became politically prominent recently, when the human population had begun to grow greatly. If we are to judge these doctrines by their acts, we must find a better way than waying bodycounts. So, how? And is there a group that does not have bloodstained hands? https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=102015403&srcid=share https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=2001401&srcid=share https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=102003686&srcid=share

  12. Being pro choice is being pro abortion. To encourage abortion is an evil thing, it's in every way immoral.

  13. And yet that is exactly what happens. Moreover, not only is abortion used as contraception but babies with disabilities, abnormalities or even the gender their parents didn't want all find themselves cast into destruction. Either human life has value or it doesn't, and if you say it doesn't, don't think you can restrict how people use that.

  14. If money was not being wasted on abortion, it could go to helping people instead. But abortion is profitable to the right people, so it will continue. Better to help people than cut them up and sell off the organs, but helping people doesn't make money.

  15. Acting against the barbaric practice of abortion is a great thing. These people should be proud of saving lives.

  16. Violence and criminality do not solve problems, they create more. Mathew 5:44 "However, I say to you: Continue to love your enemies and to pray for those so persecute you" If a person is dangerous we must trust in the state, God's blunt instrument, to deal with them appropriately. No state is perfect, but they are still a better alternative to vigilantism.

  17. This is just one part of a wider East-West struggle, the Cold War never really ended and it has been going on for a long, long time. Daniel 11:40-45 “In the time of the end the king of the south will engage with him in a pushing, and against him the king of the north will storm with chariots and horsemen and many ships; and he will enter into the lands and sweep through like a flood. 41 He will also enter into the land of the Decoration*, and many lands will be made to stumble. But these are the ones that will escape out of his hand: Eʹdom and Moʹab and the main part of the Amʹmon·ites. 42 And he will keep thrusting out his hand against the lands; and as regards the land of Egypt, she will not escape. 43 And he will rule over the hidden treasures of gold and silver and over all the desirable things of Egypt. And the Libʹy·ans and the E·thi·oʹpi·ans will be at his steps. 44 “But reports out of the east and out of the north will disturb him, and he will go out in a great rage to annihilate and to devote many to destruction. 45 And he will plant his royal tents between the grand sea and the holy mountain of Decoration*; and he will come all the way to his end, and there will be no helper for him. *The land of the Decoration referring to Isreal. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=2020400&srcid=share

  22. @@ketazowski2582 You could just as easily argue that people should have just accepted slavery. That, too, is a part of life as old as time itself, the very earliest civilisations practiced both slavery and abortion. But an evil being old doesn't make it right, not with slavery, not with abortion.

  23. Does politics have a place in religion? Should Christianity have a place in Senates and Parliaments? You may be surprised that the Bible speaks clearly on the matter! You can see that Jesus himself warned against mixing religion and politics in the article here: https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=101987283&srctype=wol&srcid=share

  26.  @KCWhoa  Doesn't exist? Then when do they exist? At birth? When the state says? If this view is taken it ignores those who are born prematurely, do they become alive when out of the womb but remain unalive while in it? Further, you say that it is fine to kill the the unborn because they are dependent on others. Have you ever received medical aid in a life threatening situation? Has anyone you know? If we follow that line of reasoning, anyone on life support, anyone who would require aid to survive an injury or sickness, would not be worthy of life and could be legitimately killed. This is clearly ridiculous. Life begins at conception, and someone needing help to survive does not make them sub-human. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=101970760&srctype=wol&srcid=share
