Sandra, a blastocyst is a set of cells that attach to the uterine wall, not a baby. A zygote looks more like a frog than a human. Sure the DNA outcome is human, but if the mother’s physical or mental health is in danger, then IMO, it is ok to terminate the pregnancy. There are other reasons to terminate a pregnancy too- like the father rapes his young teenage daughter who is not fully grown physically. I have heard other legitimate reasons too.

Now here is a question for you, a miscarriage is a spontaneous abortion. Humm…. Think about it. By your definition, your God is a murderer.

BTW, you are also an ape. We descended from a common ancestor of other apes. You also share similar DNA of a pig too.

And why are we commenting on something that was posted 2 years ago, anyway?

It really simple….abortion is Murder! If you are a Christian or an atheist, if someone killed your mother, father, brother, sister, best friend, etc….it is illegal, it is murder and the killer would go to prison. Killing unborn babies is NO different, it is MURDER! I agree with Stephen, none of it is cut and dry…but I would rather carry and birth a baby and give it up for adoption than to have to live the rest of my life knowing that I took life.(murder a unborn baby!) I have 3 beautiful children of which one is born from a rape. Life or Death you have a choice. Murder is illegal no matter how you look at it.

I am also a single mother and I have never encounter a Christian who thought or said they were better than me. Faith is an awesome thing! It’s what gives hope and says things will get better, if you have ever been in a tragic situtation and knew that you were going to be o.k in the end you exceried faith.

And for you all who believe you evolved from an ape. LOL. I haven’t seen any apes jumping out of any trees lately in suits and carring brief cases. LOL. I was fearfully and wonderfully made.

umm so you go out and do something, not because you want to help. not because you feel compassion. but because your afraid that if you dont some god is going to send you to hell? that makes you worse! aethiest who go out and do charity work are doing it because they actually want to help. and because they dont use a crutch like religion to hold themselves above other people. that whole im better than you because i have faith is bull. religion does not make you better. most people it makes worse. look at history, religion is the leading cause of death. (if there is a hell) you deserve to go there because you have no compasion for those who need it. you just do something because if you do you can brag about it like its some medal of honer. your a horrible person. go find a single mom with three jobs and still finds the time to pick up her kid at school and take them to soccer practice and tell her your better than she is because you have FAITH. i dare you. your sick

I also disagree with numbers 1 & 2. I think whatever figures they use might be skewed in some way to reflect, for instance, all monies collected by a religious organization. And which groups are getting the money? I’m an atheist but I shop at and donate to charity thrift stores, for example.

I also give money to secular groups like The Red Cross.

As for 5, fewer and fewer of us are hiding our atheist lights under proverbial bushels. That’s sort of like stealth marketing.

And 8, I try to battle the the dissemination of ignorance and lies by speaking out where I find them.

4. Welcoming those who are new to the fold.

So true! I remember the day I finally said I was an atheist out loud.

I waited all day and no one stopped by! I kept thinking someone from the EAC should be here any minute now with a black briefcase containing “supplies.”
You know – evolution chart of man showing progress from hunchback on the left to modern man on the far right, a copy of Richard Dawkins’s latest book or S.J. Gould’s, some kind of ring or membership card…but NOTHING, not even a nice tote!

Great piece friendly atheist.

I have to say I’m not convinved about no 9 though.

On the “pro-life”/”pro-choice” thing I think both sides could make this claim. So which you you hear more often: “pro-choice” or “anti-life”?
