I like these two parallels:

<<“[Jesus], which is the great commandment in the law?” And he said to him, ’You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.” >>

Chapter 19:
Throw away holiness and sainthood,
and people will be a hundred times happier.
Throw away rules of morality and justice
and people will do the right thing.
Throw away industry and profit,
and there won't be any thieves.

Lao Tzu; Tao te Ching

This conversation started with the question of abortion. Whether it is right/ethical for a mother to kill her unborn child: whether she has an inalienable "right" or entitlement to do so, and whether the unborn child that she carries, is a separate Human being that also has a basic right to life or is just another part of her body? After numerous posts from the anonymous "person behind the keyboard known as less_" in which you concentrated on irrelevancies, and engaged in circular reasoning, we know no more about your views on that subject than we did before we started. You seem to be fascinated with your special ability to type long winded posts that obscure rather than illuminate. It suggests a career in either politics, or writing insurance policies.
