You seem unable to express complex ideas and thus your statements are logically flawed
Now Tom, this is unfair. He is completely unaware of the existence of logic. Your statement is like blaming a newborn baby.

"Chritianity is a set of beliefs with many dialects. I'd say 95% or better are tolerant of the the rights of all to chose to join their beliefs or not. One of the beliefs is that human life starts at conception and it is not any man's place to kill or abort that life. I also believe that I and 95% of all informed Christians believe that homosexual acts are against the teachings of Christ. There is no teaching that gays are wrong. The mercy of Christ with woman who had sinned to go and sin no more is the example of the teaching of Christianity. This does not say gays are wrong.
You seem unable to express complex ideas and thus your statements are logically flawed. Good engineering practice reduces complexity and maintains accuracy. If you cannot maintain accuracy you flunk totally as an engineer."

One of the beliefs is that human life starts at conception and it is not any man's place to kill or abort that life.

Re. the "at conception" issue, many Christians have believed this and many do today. However, the view that human life begins at "quickening" is and has been an alternate view that many other Christians have held as well. St. Augustine, St. Jerome, Pope Innocent III, and St. Thomas Aquinas are some who held this view. See link for more info:
