Religion is a lifetime of hedging ones bets, based upon a fantastic hypothesis.
Whereas pregnancy either is or isn't a real time problematic situation.
Abortion is a medical or surgical solution to a problem.
Confusion tends to occur...A cynic might say deliberately.

As suggested.
One would assume that holiness within the context of recorded data relative to a creation hypothesis, lies not in the "scripture", but in the mind of a thinking observer.
The "book" itself is an emotionless paper and ink construct.

I take the view.
Undoubtedly.
Data management preferences.
I currently prefer to not make such an unverifiable decision.
And given the unlikelihood of such data becoming verifiable, I expect that my preference will remain unchanged.

Abortion is a practical surgical or medical solution to a problem.
Emotional overthink is an electro chemical data response, relative to conditioned data preferences.
Religion is generally nonsense, that analogically attempts to explain the unexplainable.
Abortion tourism is a business opportunity.

Trash is a fabrication of the environment, that becomes a part of the environment.
Trash and harm and waste and pollution are just fabricated data output.

Stagnant ethos maybe?
In a progressive Universe?
The species didn't get where it is today by being stagnant.
I think that there is an inbuilt anti-stagnancy function.
It's just that progression is a slow process.

All inclusive data management, either for a reason or by pure chance.
Bowing and scraping to a hypothetical super-being seems a tad ridiculous to me.
But such is the impact of data transfer for others.

We're talking about the holiness of the scriptures.
So was I.
Data management as it were, as it is.
Overthink...The evolution of ideas...The evolution of everything.
If you see the word evolution as a threat, then alternatively you could refer to it as progression.
Holiness to Wholiness.

Yep.
Hormones.
The need for significance...Sexual dominance...Breaks the monotony...Temporary emotional release.
And so on.
Plus overthink...One might even be tempted to suggest that everything is designed.
So we might be tempted to alter the design...But this is probably an expected design modification.

Assuming that a GOD speaks English.
I would suggest, based upon a hypothetical GOD, that the voice of GOD, maybe hidden in the hiss of background radiation.
Of course, all GODS are hypothetical.
And of course, holiness also means a state of being full of holes.
Rather than wholiness.

The global data matrix opens up opportunities for ideological domination without the need for physical combat.
I would suggest that the need for physical combat is perhaps based as much upon the endocrine system as it is upon pure ideology.

I tend to view the evolution picture as a beginning to end thing. Wherein everything is necessary.
But of course, everything might be unnecessary.

Perhaps they came, did a bit of chemistry and then left.
Not realising that they hade just invented evolution.
Or perhaps they are just made up.

There are stupid people out there.
There will always be stupid people out there.
Clever people would be advised to avoid stupid people.
It really is all down to personal responsibility, for both participants.
And any form of surgical sterilization is a sledgehammer to crack a nut choice.
You might find that when you are a bit older and wiser and have a long term partner, that you actually want to start a family.
Though for clever people who have been a bit stupid, there is the option of medical and surgical remedies.
Leaving it and just hoping, is stupid.

Doing what is right.
Doing what is assumed to be right relative to a collective idea of righteousness.
Therefore a social club ritual that has meaning within the context of the social collective ideology.
Whether that be a pagan ideology or a popular Middle Eastern ideology, or any other collective ideology.
As such, baptism/initiation rituals can be extremely variable.

Acknowledgement of a logical possibility, rather than of an objective creator.
Which isn't to say that I do not acknowledge the idea of an objective creator.
Though such a creator would be subject to the same causal necessities as every other creation idea.
Same old problem.
Whereas seemingly, you unquestioningly accept one particular idea.
Though it's fair to say that such an Idea is as analogically sound as any other.
That is to say:
In the beginning there was stuff.
And that stuff developed/was developed into other stuff.

I have been having sex for longer than I care to remember, have created only two children in that time, and my wife nor any previous partners have ever had an abortion.
I never felt unsafe at anytime.
Are you saying that you would be a "deadbeat", when it comes to sexual responsibility?

Creation followed by a prolonged period of evolution seems pretty logical.
More logical than the Middle Eastern Magic Bloke hypothesis...The one where he knocked everything together in 6 days.

Available data is such that one can hypothesise variously and at length.
But let's start with the basics.
A. Their either was or was not a creator GOD.
B. Everything, either is or is not purposeful.
C. Everything, either is or is not pure chance.

Yep, that was what I stated.

Yep it could be said that comparing social responsibility with slavery is something of a false dichotomy.
But isn't that what you are doing?
Whereas I am only suggesting that social responsibility is a necessary demand of any social system.

Why don't we show up there?
Because we cannot get there.
So perhaps they cannot get here.
Perhaps we are the most advanced lifeform in the Universe.
Or perhaps other lifeforms are at a similar stage of evolutionary development as us.
Assuming different is perhaps wishful thinking.

Sure.
But loaded guns are never safe.
And a loaded gun only requires a minority to render it lethal.
And for sure, some people shoot recreationally, but I'm guessing that the bulk of gun owners in the U.S. have them as either a weapon of self defence or an instrument of empowerment.
Guns are therefore a sort of self fulfilling prophecy.
Someone will eventually get killed.
And if it's you, you won't care because you will be dead.
And barring a few close relatives, no one else will care.
Such is U.S. culture.

Medical professionals say what they think and also what they are paid to say.
I was questioning at an extra-human level, who is to say which surgical procedures are necessary and which are not.
Perhaps you think that there is an extra-human authority, that has the right to judge an individuals decisions.
It's not something that I am aware of though.
