Ok... it just didn't seem like that was his point. Not sure how you get from miscarriages to punishing God (in which he doesn't believe in)
It also seemed like he was upset that life began at conception as a concept.
Well in fairness there is a vast religious disagreement with such a premise. I know honest to god (god fearing) Christians who don’t subscribe to such a philosophy. Now their understanding of the Bible, you’ll have to take it up with them. Because I don’t have anything to do with that, honestly
Sorry
I also know that Judaism doesn’t always agree that life begins at conception. Even orthodox beliefs/traditions at that
I know you didn't have his perspective but for his sake let me take a stab at it for his sake.
1) We pump our bodies with dye's chemicals, alcohol, anti-abortion pills (which as far as I know may have latent properties for all I know), wrong foods, abortions, drugs, weed and then say "God, why do you let so many miscarriages?
To be fair, that’s more of an American thing (and one found in many third world countries. Sorry, not sorry.)
My country actually has much stricter food safety measures than the US and indeed even our fast food has higher safety standards. Not even kidding
I don’t say this to demean or insult Americans, it’s just well known that the US has some of the worst food safety standards among all the world leaders and indeed of all first world nations. Your small serving of fries is literally everyone else’s medium serving. Just as an example
So you guys might stuff yourselves with nothing but chemicals and awful crap. The rest of the world actually don’t. We have higher safety standards. That’s just reality
Sorry
Now I do agree with you that people stuff themselves full of such toxicity and crap. And that’s on them, not God.
But since God is presumably responsible for creating reality, He can’t escape all blame in that either. At least not entirely. According to the OP as I understand it.
Again he’s free to correct me if I’m wrong
2) The proposal is that God should control every aspect of life and living. Have you seen what happens to a child if you try to control every aspect of living? You have a revolt on you hands
No, God gave the Earth to man (in our faith) and we are in charge.
Being omniscient kind of heavily implies that said entity literally controls all aspects of life. That’s not me making that claim. It’s a claim that religious folks make all the time. So the OP seems to be merely exploring the implications of such a claim. Don’t blame the OP for religious interpretations.
Again not my argument to be clear
3) Every child still grows in Heaven. (of course he doesn't believe in a Heaven)
I appreciate the sentiment.
Don’t necessarily agree but it’s nice nonetheless
What he also seems to say is that if God lets miscarriage happen, we should approve abortions. (I could be wrong in what he is implying -- if he is implying). Couldn't we also say, "If a baby isn't a baby in the womb, (perish the thought), it is just a piece of meat to put some seasoning on it? (Assuming he eats meat)
I don’t think the OP quite makes that comparison. But sure, I do think the OP is saying that if miscarriages occur, then we should approve of abortions. Again this is not my argument.
For me personally, I actually do believe that abortion is an immoral thing to do (except for rape and life threatening scenarios. Those get a “pass” as far as I’m concerned.)
I believe that abortion does indeed terminate a life. Religiously speaking anyway. It is a tragedy in my eyes. Morally speaking
I’m still vehemently pro choice.
Sorry. What can I say?
I’ve seen the consequences of outlawing abortion. It only adds to death overall. That’s just reality.
Always has been.
Look at Ireland, look at society pre abortion being legal. People have always sought abortions, but having it be legal means that doctors as opposed to coat hangers are sought after. And I would much rather folks go to qualified medical professionals than seek advice from people in a back alley.
Don’t know about you, but I want to mitigate death as much as humanly possible. I don’t want mothers, wives, sisters, daughters dying due to botched abortions. Which was an actual reality not too long ago.
And sorry if it sucks but in all metrics I can see, legal abortion does reduce such deaths overall. So I have no choice but to support it’s legalisation. It’s unfortunate as far as I can see. But I can’t in good faith support measures that kill women. And outlawing abortion always leads to the death of said women. That’s just reality.
