Someone made the ad hominem attack that I am somehow promoteing that everyone being a gay abortionist.

So my question is, how is me being pro-choice mean I also think everyone should change professions? Also, if I am stateing I am for gay-marriage, how does it link to me wanting everyone to stop being a heterosexual and be a homosexual?

Is it really a legitimate answer? Abortion has been legal in America since 1972. In 25 years has the workforce shifted to being 100% abortionists?

Since June of 2003 when the Supreme Court said government can't fine anyone for homosexual activity, has 100% of the American population marched to a gay bar in search of a one night stand?

I'm only asking because I'm wondering if that position could be represented with an intelligence and not ad hominem attacks.

Yes sorry, I do mean 35. Thanks for addressing the cosmetic issue and not the substance, I can always count on Monica for that throughness.

Answer 1

You made two pointed questions. One about abortion being right (A fetus being no more than a lump of coal), and one about homosexuality being right (saying there is no reasonable justification against it). I assume you have no other justification for either than saying that YOU are right. This is the snobbery of political correctness. I am sorry you take this as a ad hominum attack, but hey if YOU can't see it, someone has to tell you. The basic problem also lies in the fact that your reasoning that basic human decency issues are religious issues. I am sure, that people of all types abhor abortion and oppose gay marriage on a human level, not a religious one.
To oppose them, to make sure they do not affect the fabric of our society, is something that any type of person can rightfully do.
To not take criticism, and hide behind political correctness, is a cop out. People oppose these things because they are BASICALLY wrong. PERIOD.

Answer 2

Are you asking for critical thought and articulate, coherent answers on what amounts to an internet forum or message board?

I agree with you that they really had no right to attack you or make ludicrous judgements but you already knew that without asking this question.

Answer 3

Supporting a cause is sympathetic to it. Being sympathetic to a woman wanting to avoid a few months of pregnancy doesn't take into account the person who is wanting to be born and experience the beauty of life.

the homosexual question entails being sympathetic to one who is incomplete and needs to balance his masculine and femnine sides.

Answer 4

It's not a legitimate answer & it's ludicrous - these questions address fundamental issues of choice. It's also legal to own a hand gun, but I don't believe every household has one.

(sigh)

Answer 5

Of course they can't answer with any intelligence. There is nothing at all intellectual about their beliefs. It is simply hate fueled by religion, and there's no use trying to get anything resembling an intelligent answer out of someone who lives by their hate instead of their brains.

Answer 6

Has anyone ever noticed the religionist's two favorite wedge issues involve sex?
And they call US obsessed?

Ps. 139:13-16: “You [Jehovah] kept me screened off in the belly of my mother. . . . Your eyes saw even the embryo of me, and in your book all its parts were down in writing.”

Ex. 21:22, 23: “In case men should struggle with each other and they really hurt a pregnant woman and her children do come out but no fatal accident occurs, he is to have damages imposed upon him without fail according to what the owner of the woman may lay upon him; and he must give it through the justices. But if a fatal accident should occur, then you must give soul for soul.” (Some translations make it appear that in this law to Israel the crucial matter was what happened to the mother, not to the fetus. The original Hebrew text, however, refers to a fatal accident to either mother or child.)

Gen. 9:6: “Anyone shedding man’s blood, by man will his own blood be shed, for in God’s image he made man.”

1 John 3:15: “No manslayer has everlasting life remaining in him.”

Ex. 20:13: “You must not murder.”


Rom. 1:24-27: “God, in keeping with the desires of their hearts, gave them up to uncleanness, that their bodies might be dishonored among them . . . God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error.”

1 Tim. 1:9-11: “Law is promulgated, not for a righteous man, but for persons lawless and unruly, ungodly and sinners, . . . fornicators, men who lie with males, . . . and whatever other thing is in opposition to the healthful teaching according to the glorious good news of the happy God.” (Compare Leviticus 20:13.)

Jude 7: “Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them, after they . . . [had] gone out after flesh for unnatural use, are placed before us as a warning example by undergoing the judicial punishment of everlasting fire.” (The name Sodom has become the basis for the word “sodomy,” which usually designates a homosexual practice. Compare Genesis 19:4, 5, 24, 25.)

1 Cor. 6:9-11: “Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men . . . will inherit God’s kingdom. And yet that is what some of you were. But you have been washed clean, but you have been sanctified, but you have been declared righteous in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the spirit of our God.” (Regardless of such a background, if persons now abandon their former unclean practices, apply Jehovah’s righteous standards, and exercise faith in his provision for forgiveness of sins through Christ, they can enjoy a clean standing before God. After reforming, they may be welcomed in the Christian congregation.
