(141 posts)...the very thing(s) that a human needs to believe may not be true at all, this "good book" is only that. It has been rewritten, revised & reconstituted into so many "versions", by so many differing "religions" for so many centuries, that these "stories" can hardly be taken as fact. Interpretation, superstition, fear, control, and the sordid, violent history of the catholic church, give credibility to "faith", not fact. Christianity is the most vile, and dangerous ideology ever foisted upon Mankind. Just ask the descendants of the millions of muslims, hindus, buddists, and native nature worshipers whose narratives, and symbols were appropriated into the "church", after being systematically slaughtered in the name of "God's will". This is, and has been, a circular argument, regarding when life begins, I do not take this lightly, nor do I presume, as a Man, to have an unmovable position regarding terminating a life. I cannot begin to fathom the weight this choice imparts on a Woman. No Man can. Believe what you must, but I'll believe in the miracles I can see...you, me, children, the trees, but never a dogma that states, "Yahweh or no way". We are each a Sovereign Authority over our own bodies, please respect that.
