I'll reply to the substance of your post later, when I have more time, and when I've gotten an answer to a question that is important to me; it is a little personal; but that should be entirely acceptable to you, under the circumstances.

I would like to know if you could look inward and tell me why it seemed a good idea to you to inform this thread that I am an atheist. (As you know, I am not shy of identifying myself as an atheist, in spite of its being an inflammatory word in some circles-- such as those here. This doesn't mean I am not quite aware of the dynamic when another does so for me, however.)

I believe I know the answer to the question, and I certainly know that my being your "favorite" atheist has nothing whatever to do with it; you have produced a naked non sequitur; but it would be useful for me to hear from you why you wanted that information posted here.

I ask because it is my belief that if you speak fully and truthfully, it will reveal that your opposition to abortion at any stage is solely a product of your religious beliefs, and that you are working from that starting point to build a non-religious sounding rationale for forcing your religious beliefs onto atheists and others who don't share them, and proposing to get the government to help you do so.
