So then god goes and inspires the genocide recounted in Joshua. The bible is one of the most bloodthirsty documents ever written-- not to mention the plethora of divinely inspired perfidy. Do you mourn the fate of the Caananites. What was their guilt?

>>>Anyone who really wants to stop killing fetuses would be an advocate of birth control on demand for everyone, including all young girls.<<< I suspect you have another motive for wanting this, but will keep it to myself...... .>>> So every time you go off on your anti-life campaign, be sure to remember that you are directly causing little children to starve to death, okay?<<< MY anti-life campaign?? And me causing little children to starve........what an open book YOU are..........I know YOUR father.............. >>> Is that last line just an insult, or a threat also? My, my, how very Christian you are!! I think you at least owe me an explanation for your veiled comments. Why would I want readily available birth control, if not to prevent abortions and give women real choices in their lives? Also, you don't seem to have grasped the difference in life experience between that of a fetus being aborted, which I would agree is regrettable, and that of a five-year-old child starving to death, or being abandoned, neglected, or abused, which is a much more horrendous and painful outcome. As I said before, if a mother does not believe she can sustain life, she is not going to be a very good mother to that child. And many times, with women who have other children already, they are making decisions that they can only sustain the lives they have already brought forth. What you seem to be missing entirely is the relative suffering of the child--abortion versus later abuse and perhaps death. You also again reveal your underlying motive of wanting to control the sexuality of women, not really preventing pregnancy, because you do not advocate safe and effective birth control for everyone. And you seem to have conveniently forgotten the millions of human lives that have been lost with Christian complicity or by the direct actions of Christians in the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Holocaust and all the other wars that have been fought over religion. And let's not forget that it was Christians who slaughtered the Indians and stole their land, and who also owned slaves in America. It is facile to say that Christianity is against killing. The facts are otherwise.
