>Christians want to force you to raise this thing. Are they nuts?
Yes. They only care that the babies are born. After they are born they are fucked, the post abortion of a dumpster baby probably causes more suffering than ending it while it is still in the snatch.

Remember Christianity grew to be a 10% of the Empire even pre Constantine in large part because Pagan Families callously threw away unwanted children and left those dying of the Antonine plague to perish. In contrast the Christians would pick up and raise them, or during the plague would choose to stay and attempt to relieve the ones suffering. Mercy is a powerful force when a society begins passing its earlier desperate phase, effectively stirring the hearts of people for the betterment of the downtrodden.

>"enlightened" atheists: eugenics is le bad
Those people aren't actually atheists. They're liberal humanists. While they like to pretend that they're irreligious because it makes them feel superior, their belief system is 100% a religion based on an irrational, arbitrary set of moral principles that they adhere to through faith alone.
Real atheists absolutely support eugenics, where it's proven effective at suppressing negative heritable traits.

It is the organization of those cells, and the electrochemical consciousness housed generated by them, that makes something "human" and of moral worth. Thus cancer cells in a Petri dish (or an undeveloped fetus) are not human.

It's more of a "rule of law" problem than a Christianity problem. Despite it being unchristian to kill deformed babies, they were still almost universally killed until after the Industrial Revolution, along with unwanted babies in general. High natural infant mortality rates combined with the weakness of state power meant that people generally turned a blind eye to the practice.

No, you're just mentally retarded. Saying that there's no magical immaterial document in the sky which claims "thou shall not torture anon fr fr" does not mean that you're personally fine with people being tortured. Because make no mistake, when you say "there's something wrong with X", what you actually mean is "there is an immaterial magical document in the sky that has "there is something wrong with X" written on it in magical immaterial ink", which is obviously utterly retarded garbage that has nothing to do with how society actually functions.

>>18514723
Why do people pretend the only opposition to abortion comes from religious principles? What about not wanting to kill an innocent human being? Do you need to be religious to believe in that?
The unborn is a human being and even if you believe in some weird logic about people not being human if their body look undeveloped enough, the pro-abortion jurisdictions often allow killing very developed fetuses. It's already recognized that fetuses can feel pain in the first trimester (this shouldn't matter for a debate about right to life, you aren't excused to murder people if they can't feel pain, but that still proves the absolute sadism of the pro-abortion position)

Of course I don't believe that, that would be retarded. Objects interact in certain ways and we've come up with descriptions of these interactions, that's all there is to it.
Now if you tried to say that E ought to equal mc2 and if it doesn't, it ought to be ostracized from the community of physical interactions, then yeah I'd say you're appealing to an immaterial sky document again.

The two things are not analogous because you're equivocating on the word "laws". .
>>
>>18515987
That's not an equivocation. Unless you are saying that physical laws and mathematical laws cannot both be laws because they have differing properties. If you accept that they are different, but both laws, then your argument against moral laws on those same grounds is undercut.

Your electrochemical consciousness can be stopped at any moment with propofol, specially useful for surgeries. You also cease to experience reality every day under N3 sleep. Your little subject-homunculus watching the universe is gone in these moments. Does that stop you from having moral worth?
A lump of cancer cells aren't a coherent animal specimen of the human species. The embryo is. They have a coherent body, a coherent clone lineage, a coherent genome, but may be in a temporary state of unconsciousness not unlike yours when you are under slow-wave sleep. You already having the hardware that COULD make you conscious doesn't make any difference in the actual reality of unconsciousness, because both sleeping you and the embryo are equals in that you're unconscious but could be conscious in the future. Having a non-wake brainstem doesn't make you better than an embryo. The reality of the facts is that both are lacking subjective experience at that moment.
Pretending to use subjectivity and qualia as principles but weirdly assuming a non functioning, assumed conscience-producing biologic mechanism has intrinsic worth on its own is a leap of logic. At least I admit I draw my line on the human individual. You draw your line on a abstract and complicated principle masquerading as rational philosophy of mind.
>>
>>18515991
It is an equivocation and I've demonstrated this by juxtaposing the fact that E equals mc2 and the idea that E ought to equal mc2 or it ought to be ostracized from the community of physical interactions.
Your entire argument rests on linguistic grounds stemming from the fact that someone decided to use the word "laws" to describe the fact that objects interact in certain ways.
>>
>>18516001
You have been the only one to inject "ought" into these conversations. You're arguing with a strawman you've built.
It'd be better said that the moral law is unequivocally, "Sin leads to separation from God and ultimately damnation" any ought that arises after that isn't an aspect of that law, but a person or society's response to that law.

>1+1=2 - Mathematical Law

>It's already recognized that fetuses can feel pain in the first trimester
Saying it's "recognized" might be an overstatement. While your journal article is from 2021, a recent WebMD article from 2025 still treats it as something that is only considered to be a possibility by a subset of scientists https://www.webmd.com/baby/when-can-a-fetus-feel-pain-in-the-womb
Also your article was published in the Linacre Quarterly, which is the official journal of the Catholic Medical Association. So if there are problems with the article, they're the journal that might be willing to overlook them and publish it anyway.

I don't care about your outrage.
You claimed that I must be an antisocial freak because I claim there's nothing wrong with XYZ. Now we've come to the point in the conversation where we've sufficiently disentangled that claim to see what it really means.
Your claim is that I must be an antisocial freak because I claim that it's not the case that "XYZ leads to separation from God and ultimately damnation".
That is the full extent of your claim and any other possible interpretation was just parasitically hanging on to the other possible connotations of your original claim.

If you want to jump in and change the central topic, either indicate as much or be ready to have the person you're talking to keep arguing the original point.
As far as I'm concerned, whether you go the invisible sky document route or the "morality is not defined by oughts but merely by the fact that certain things separate you from god" route is irrelevant because neither is capable to support the original accusation of me being an antisocial freak.

>>18516041
>neither is capable to support the original accusation of me being an antisocial freak.

>>
>>
>>
>>18516048
You completely misunderstood what the conversation was about. The point wasn't whether some supernatural spook, be it a magical sky document or god that you can be separated from, exists. The point was that merely believing the spook does not exist doesn't make you an antisocial individual. That's why the two definitions of morality are interchangeable for the purpose of this argument.
You're just mad that I didn't start having an entirely different separate argument with you. Guess what? There is no magical sky document which says "anon ought to switch to whatever pet topic randos want to discuss after jumping into an ongoing conversation without even indicating that they're nta".

Well it really seems like the popular form of Christianity that took over the Roman Empire was a bit like the "spiteful mutants" idea. Later on things like Catholicism improved the situation considerably but the ideological roots of this type of Christianity are pretty dysgenic and anti-human.

The only correct object of moral concern are spirits, not arbitrary arrangements of matter, with or without human DNA. And a spirit, like someone moving into a house, obviously doesn't move into a body until it's at least complete (i.e. capable of surviving on its own). Before that, the body is only a structure with no occupants, so it's fine to tear it down if the property owner doesn't want it there.

The pain part is irrelevant. You shouldn't kill innocent people, full stop. I don't care if they can or cannot feel pain, if they are unconscious or not. You could be put under anesthesia today, stop feeling pain and stop being conscious but you don't stop being a living human being with the right to life because of it.

>Don't have more kids because you don't have the time or money to take care of them

It's all or nobody.
The moment we draw a line saying "THIS can be aborted" and "this can't" it will only and obligatory be a matter of time and whim until you literally kill and torture wantonly without any single regard for any life, ever, forever.
In terms of "take care of" and "mercy", it should absolutely be all or nothing. That's why Jesus said you're either cold or hot, you can't serve 2 masters. That being said, I know a family with 2 kids, 1 of them is a retarded vegetable and it's hell on earth.

I remember reading a pretty sad story about a woman raising a severely disabled boy
>Husband left her because he didn't want to raise a retard
>The boy was developmentally stuck at the level of a one year old
>Physically he was developing pretty fast and was actually far stronger and bigger than most kids his age
>He needed 24/7 care, couldn't be left alone
>He was constantly throwing violent tantrums and by age 12 his mother was barely able to physically subdue him
So stuff like this would happen regularly:
>He shit his diaper so it needed changing
>Didn't want his mom to change his shitty diaper
>He just punched his mom in the face when she tried to change it
>Just about any normal daily activity could have resulted in him assaulting his mom
It got so bad that the mom had to put him on expensive meds that basically made him an inactive vegetable.
Honestly, I don't blame people for not wanting to have a life like this and aborting the the disabled baby.

The religious style of morality allows you to ignore the predictable consequences of an action in favor of attachment to a few especially simple and clear-cut rules. If things turn out badly as a result, well, it must be the will of God. This is effective for tard-wrangling people who aren't even good judges of what's in their own best interest, let alone society's best interest, but at the edges it risks devolving into paperclip-maximizing.

Christians are always like this.
I don't think they neccesarily are dishonest, just that they live with a massive amount of cognitive dissonance to cope with the impossible entailments of their beliefs.
