14. Faith is the only thing they are arguing with

They are convinced the holy poltergeist sprinkles magic fairy dust the moment after conception and suddenly human protoplasm is endowed with an immortal soul. As such they will never be satisfied with 6 weeks or any other arbitrary point past the point of conception. Next they will go after IUDs and plan B pills any any other contraception methods they think work post conception.

Logic and reason do not work on these people as their “faith” demands suspension of such things in order to work. Bear in mind also, none of this is really about human development at any stage. Their real motivation is to go after fornication in an attempt to manipulate sexuality and force women especially into their idea of servitude.

The problem with liberalism, or at least how it is presently implemented, is somehow “faith” is always placed into a protective shield with the misplaced idea that tolerance demands it. As such we can’t attack faith itself which is the root cause of all of this nonsense. Until we do so we will always be chasing symptoms rather than the cause and they will use our own idea of tolerance against us over and over.
