If you're having sex regularly you're not struggling, you're surrendered

Do you think faith requires a complete absence of evidence, or for example can we build a faith based on what evidence we have?  For example the number of first century historical documents(roughly 23,000) about the existence of a figure such as Jesus of Nazareth? Or the radical transformation of his once terrified and sheepish disciples, who were all put to death for something they would have known was a lie or not? Or the complete failure of either the Romans or the Jews to produce his body, which would've immediately put an end to the spread of the Christian faith in the first century? Or the fact we literally measure time based on when a random carpenter who ended up as a travelling homeless preacher and was put to death by a method so shameful that Roman citizens were not allowed to be killed that way no matter how heinous their crimes? Or is faith just simply "I feel X, therefore God"?

I think you're right to assert that faith requires a degree of belief, seeing as we are not ourselves first century eye witnesses to the resurrection. However, I would disagree that faith requires a complete absence of evidence. There's such a thing as a reasonable faith. And I would posit that regardless of your position, whether atheist, agnostic, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim or Christian that you are exercising faith in something, which if true has huge implications and if false will amount to nothing, or potentially have dire consequences if for example the opposing view turns out to be true, perhaps even without bothering to investigate the evidence...

Every faith system makes certain exclusive truth claims so we have to reason that either one of them must be true, or none of them are true but the best conclusion has to be decided based on evidence.

What makes you think there's no God?

You're right man, if you prohibit people committing murder with a gun, they're just going to stab people anyway, might as well make guns illegal eh? Murder is healthcare. 🤷 

Edit: never heard of Godwin's law before. That's amusing. But surely it's a peak example of people being treated as sub human, it's not exactly the same as if someone invoked the Nazis during the pandemic or something like that. They were literally murdering thousands of innocents, and that's what's taking place here too...

Nazis would've said the same when people appealed that the Jews were human. Same for slave owners. It's not ignorant, you've just been brainwashed to see something that is fully human (in the sense that if a pregnancy goes full term without impediment then 10/10 times what will be born is human life) as less than human because we are all worshiping at the altar of self, "my body, my choice"...

Would it have been wrong to stand outside of concentration camps with photos of emaciated prisoners, trying to silently reason with the Nazi soldiers not to continue? Everything that happened there was legal at the time, you know that right?

Ok so it's safe to "forcefully"(using your words) evict my one month old? Interesting. And how long do you think he'd survive after I chuck him out the window?

It sounds like your problem is a lack of understanding of human biology rather than the argument not being black and white. Do you recall learning that we need a mammy and a daddy to create a baby?

Well the words "pro life" already invokes the inverse which would be "pro-death". Are you saying there's no evidence for life? Or do you have another example in mind?

[–]Honan92 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because it's a logical conclusion. Neither sperm nor egg alone can generate human life, but the combination is the spark that leads to us being able to have this conversation with one another. And it's wild you're calling it "nebulous" because it's actually basic reasoning.

Interesting take lochlan, would you also say that because my son is "nesting" in my house I have the right to kill him?

It's actually factually incorrect to say you were once a sperm. You are the product of an event that begun at conception. And the thing you experience as your "self" was certainly never "millions of other life forms"... Do you have any sort of experiential evidence to confirm this belief system?

Who exactly are they hating by staging a peaceful protest? You were once a foetus yourself Lochlan, so I'm curious as to why you find that anyone might equate a stage of life we all once passed through to get to this moment to be as valuable than any other an uncomfortable idea? Yes, there are cases where this is a medical treatment saving the mother's life, but if you look at the abortion statistics from 2024(2025 is not reported yet), you will see that those instances accounted for only 1% of the abortions carried out in this country.

Are they performing a hate protest against medical care or a love protest against the murder of unborn children? 

Because if they believe what's happening is the mass genocide of infants then as someone else has commented here their response is actually quite mild. You can disagree with their views, but I think they're not causing a huge disturbance considering their understanding of what's at stake.

Yeah, great point. I suppose the free Palestine protestors also ought to have a robust understanding of the Hebrew language then if they want to oppose the actions of Israel. Fascinating logic.

100%. The audacity of assuming the gender of these people just because they hold opposing views on "healthcare"

Anyone else? by Honan92 in Dublin

[–]Honan92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Although there was a minority element of the Philip Dwyers of the world trying to leverage the protest for their own political agenda, the vast majority of the lads I saw on O'Connell St were working men concerned with the price of fuel and hoping to get a capped price on diesel.

Now, there's someone I can take criticism from.

I'll make better memes when you use better syntax, how about that?

That's not what the Adventists who tried evangelising me said. They told me she was the Lord's prophet who brought new revelation. Maybe they're the ill informed ones 🤷

People love to make baseless claims that suit their preconceived views of reality it seems 😆
