Is abortion always immoral? Does it initiate force against another? Yes and yes, yet the government sanctions it and women and doctors use it. Go figure.So by your own logic, since abortion is legal you must not consider it wrong.

One of the benefits of not being a literalist is that one can understand the underlying truth of the Bible and not have to twist one's mind into a pretzel in order to defend parts for which understanding is context based.

"In your opinion. And what is your opinion based on?"
My individual rights as a human being. Nobody has the right to initiate force. I can't believe that on a conservative website, I have to defend the immorality of slavery, but so it is.
"Is abortion always immoral? Does it initiate force against another? Yes and yes, yet the government sanctions it and women and doctors use it. Go figure."
You are equating what the government allows, what is legal, with what is moral. According to this statist mentality, people can do anything they wish to each other if a majority says so. That is the essence of evil.
To quote John Locke:
Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has any right to but himself. The labor of his body and the work of his hands
are properly his. Whatsoever he removes out of the state nature has provided, and left it in, he has mixed his labor with, and joined to it something that is his own, and thereby makes it his property. 8
8. John Locke, Two Treatises of Government (New York: New American Library, 1963), Section 27, pp. 328-329.
You are really sinking deeper and deeper.

It appears that some of you are reading impaired. Not unusual given the lack of critical thinking skills that infects the evolutionist and atheist camps.
Allow me to repost.
"Atheists and evolutionists may need to state their opposition to slavery forthrightly, repeatedly, and constantly given the fact of lack of moral clarity in the atheist fold."
Christians do not.
That meains that it is a given that Christians would oppose slavery and subjugation as indeed they have done over and over again.
Most of the world's totalitarian political leadership has embraced atheism and evolution...using the arguments therein to enslave and annihilate millions of "unsuitables" and "lesser" evolved humans, even the pre-born.

You're stuck on stupid.
What is the context of why he posted it is he did that is. The posting has been removed. It exists in your memory...whatever that is. What someone else has written usually means nothing in an anonymous forum. For all I know he could be a dumb Darwinian posing as a Christian. Lots of factors involved and so little time and logic on your part.
You should be worrying about your own beliefs and stop worrying about taxesareforever whoever. It is your beliefs/stands/opinions that lead to genocide and racialism not Christian ones.
Hope this helps...somehow I know it won't.

So by your own logic, since abortion is legal you must not consider it wrong.Of course I consider abortion wrong. If the our government sanctioned slavery I would say it was wrong because it would be against our Constitution. What is right or wrong for one country is not necessarily right or wrong for another country. Just ask the people living in other countries.

Do I detect a certain robotic tendency amongst you evos/atheists? Yup.

It exists on my computer, since I saved it. He also said,
""I am not in support of slavery. What I am saying is if government allows slavery than slavery is permissible. However I am not an advocate of government sanctioning slavery."
"For all I know he could be a dumb Darwinian posing as a Christian. Lots of factors involved and so little time and logic on your part."
He quoted scripture to support his position, not Darwin.
"It is your beliefs/stands/opinions that lead to genocide and racialism not Christian ones. "
That's a lie. Not surpised though.
