The analogy would only work if the people you are addressing here were ok with the chicks they knock up getting abortions but don’t want anyone else to.
What you are flailing around is in no way analogous to limousine liberals burning all the fuel they want while trying to guilt us into buying a Prius.
It’s just a terrible effort.
It's actually just retarded but not at all surprising considering the source.
The argument against the existence of MMGW being made in this thread is that some people who claim it is real act in ways that are inconsistent with that claim.
Clearly that's lunacy, but if that's how we are going to discern what reality is then symmetry demands that:
If abortion is indeed murder on an industrial scale then anyone who makes those claims must act in ways that are fully consistent with that. Even if we grant that most people are cowards and won't risk jail time to prevent murder on a scale an order of magnitude greater than the Holocaust, if any pro-life congressman or preacher ever paid for an abortion we can conclude that abortion is not murder.
That's exactly right. I'm like all you conservatives. By Gawd I believe it soooo much, but I'm not gonna do that much. Obama's like you guys, too. Murder on an industrial scale and.... protest?
Nobody said that, either. You seem to think you get points for volumes of shitposts and moronic takes. This isn't a Lincoln Douglas debate where the volume of shitty arguments gets you points. I'll employ the same clumsy spin as you: So you're sayign the POTUS is supposed to go by sailboat to a summit? Drive his prius across country? How stupid, and thank you for making my point. I can always rely on you to fvck it up.
Well, ol JC broke the law. They hung his body on a cross and there he hung, until he went to meet the maker. I guess we shouldn't follow his selfless example. Oh - quite a few first century christian martyrs managed to run afoul of the law and got killed, too.
Meanwhile the "genocide" continues. You guys need to think about your arguments before you make them. Harry apparently thinks that lack of 100% personal devotion from someone that advocates for something means it's not true. Well, if that's the case, welcome to the club, I'll make the casserole.
Yes, the POTUS should ride a bike to Mar A Lago now. Obama should take a hang glider to a summit. Well done. Compelling point!
He didn't wash before eating with the pharisee. He beat people's ass in the temple with a whip. He broke the sabbath repeatedly with good deeds. He committed blasphemy in the eyes of his persecutors (and he knew it at the time). I could go on, but I think we both know that if you accept the NT narrative, they didn't kill him because of his fashion choices.
Nope, but nice try. I like how you try to stuff syskatine's square into a round hole. Try this instead...
People who are believers in man-made climate change should conduct themselves in a manner that's consistent with their belief, i.e. driving fuel efficient cars. Not doing so doesn't make man-made climate change any less real. It just makes the guy driving a Ford F350 powerstroke as a commuter vehicle a hypocrite.
People who believe abortion is murder should conduct themselves in a manner that's consistent with their belief, i.e. not having an abortion themselves or paying for someone's abortion. Believing that abortion is murder but paying for someone to have an abortion doesn't make abortion any less real. It just makes the pro-life guy who paid for his mistress to have an abortion a hypocrite.
If taking action against "murder on a scale greater than the Holocaust" must include murdering abortion doctors, then "murder on a scale greater than WW2" must include murdering the people who enable carbon emissions.
That said, how seriously would you take the pro-life rants of a guy who has repeatedly paid for women to have abortions? Would his screams of "murder!" move your needle much?
Oh, so you're relying on the extrabiblical Mishnah as your interp of the "law."
Doesn't hold up next to the Torah.
So why does every climate change thread immediately devolve into a discussion of how hypocritical Leonardo DiCaprio, Al Gore, and Barrack Obama are? Is that news?
Maybe, we're splitting hairs. Obviously the guy believed there was a higher law that trumped earthly laws. Or is that also not true?
Me (idiot, not savvy at all): Man made global warming is an actual phenomenon that exists.
You (genius, master debate tactician): Ah, but have you considered the fact that politicians are hypocrites!
You (genius, master debate tactician): Ah, but have you considered the fact that politicians are hypocrites!
No. We're not splitting hairs. The Torah from his perspective would have been the authoritative word of God. The Mishnah would have been the equivalent of Jerry Falwell or Joel Osteen's commentary on the Torah.
Yes on the higher law. Please show where He joined up with the Zealot party in acts of voilence against the government.
Fair point, but pagan idol worship isn't exactly as pressing of an issue as the murder of 60 million people.
14In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables. 15So He made a whip out of cords and drove all fromthe temple courts, both sheep and cattle. He poured out the coins of the money changersand overturned their tables. 16To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”…
I'm not up on your zealot party. I got in a debate on here a while back whether christianity is pacifist (I said yes, e1 else on here said he wasn't, and he endorsed violence.) Of course, he also said, "Do violence to no man" and "turn the other cheek" and he didn't defend himself when he could have, so it gets hairy fast, imo. He arguably used violence to accomplish a higher purpose in the above passage, if that's what you're asking. Some of your fellow posters think that his reference to a "sword" before he was crucified is an endorsement of violence, and I disagreed. All I'm saying is he wouldn't stop defending innocent children, a higher purpose, to simply honor man's law, if the NT narrative is accurate.
FWIW I'm not religious and don't accept the bible as divine or most of it as remotely aspirational.
And... I'm not critical of your devotion. I don't really think that you should do more. I understand how life works, and how opinions work. My point is that the same people that demand exceptional but largely meaningless sacrifice of people concerned with climate change turn right around and come up with all kinds of excuses why they shouldn't engage in exceptional sacrifice to stop a genocide. Of children.
Who says Christians have stopped defending innocent children?
Same people that say Obama has stopped defending the planet.
Edit: I'm not advocating shooting Dr's either.
Because their behavior doesn't correspond with the climate alarmism they project. This isn't a difficult concept. Pro-life people that claim abortion is murder but have an abortion themselves are also hypocrites.
Romans didn't catch much shit from Judaism after 70ish A.D.
I can't wait for the dissenting opinion on the impending Roe reversal to just be a 50 page discussion on the existence of abortion hypocrites.
There you go, driving me wild again. I never asked, are you pro-choice or pro-life? I'll bet you're just pro-whoring aren't you, you nasty little freak?
You know that doesn’t even make sense, right?
Keep up the good work, brownie.
Lawyers feed off of hate for lawyers, btw.
I love it.
Told the wife I could take the 7yo to work on his Spanish. Yeh, Incredibles 2.
If you appreciated (I used that word because it’s kind of a depressing, thought provoking, but not particularly enjoyable movie) the first one, you will appreciate this one as well.
