Emotional schoolyard bullying is a failure mode. If this is how you react to a detailed empirical argument with multiple links to even more detailed empirical arguments, you will be lost to sense and reason forever. I cannot fix you. Only you can decide to come into the light of reason and learn how to use logic and evidence instead of childish insults and rank emotionalism.

I can only pray to the Gods of Kobol that someday you make this journey out of your darkness into our light.

Flesh is not a person. Persons only exist when the cognitive machinery exists to produce them (and store the resulting information of which they are composed). That does not happen until sometime in the third trimester of pregnancy. This is a thoroughly empirically established fact.

Really enjoying this piece. Good stuff.

a fetus is a child in the woom. Being in a certain place dusn’t mean he or she isn’t a pursun.

you might as well say an 1 year old isn’t a pursun.

whu on urth ar u to depursunalis human beings.

or that if a fetus is de-woom’d fr eg surjry it’s a pursun but when she’s put back it’s not a pursun.

This appalling philosphy is just mad. stark raving lunacy.

To be fair, for many of them they don’t really have that premise. They are more saying that the fact that you don’t act like their caricature means you have to implicitly agree with them.

So, Will, either you are saying you’re just a bootlicker to your absolute core, or you’re saying that something about God is metaphysically or ontologically good beyond you just liking It.

Then… tell me what that thing is. And if you can’t, shit or get off the pot. Because that’s the question we’re all asking.

This is part of why theists like to discuss God as this indivisible gas or fluid, in effect. They don’t want us to think of God’s attributes as separable. But even if they’re not so in practice, they are so philosophically.
