"I suspect in Neocon's calculus, that means more lost souls though. I suppose God, in his infinite mercy, holds that against the woman." Lost souls? That certainly does not sound like the position Neocon has taken or one that he would take. Although I am a believer, I do not consider the whereabouts or the condition of the soul of other beings under my influence or a matter of personal concern. Maybe Neocon feels differently but I don't know where you are getting that. And what is this supposed to mean? "I suppose God, in his infinite mercy, holds that against the woman." Speaking for my self again it seems obvious that God would hold judgement of us free willing humans as a matter of circumstance and with the greatest of mercy. It seems rational to suppose under that paradigm that we will be held accountable for our choices including pursuing questionable treatment and our motives for taking that course of actions. Results, however, can be rotten even under the best of circumstances and with good intent. They can also turn out positive even when we began with evil intentions. It doesn't seem logical that people would be judged on consequencial outcomes, good or bad by a being who knows all of the hidden (motives, intents, etc) behind the thing. And I am curious as to why you and other non-believers pose that premise so often?
