Subject: RE: BS: The God Delusion 2010
Right on the "usually" hedge - I am however also of the personal opinion that a pregnancy is a woman's body part/parasite until the end of the pregnancy, by birth or other termination, and as such I do call for no limits on abortion. Keep it safe and legal, and if some woman decides in her 9th month that she doesn't want a baby, she shouldn't have one, but I can't imagine anybody doing that for kicks. It would have to be a discovery of something being terribly wrong, either with the baby or the woman.
I do not agree, however, that the Fall as described in the old testament resolves the contradiction inherent in the belief in deity in the presence of evil. It may resolve the issue of why *that* god ignores evil when it's happening to "his" people, but that doesn't say anything good about that god, now, does it?
