"The church is unfit to rule on abortion because it acts on what benefits them or they 're ideas . Like what I quoted , saying that `` Thou shalt not kill. `` Thousands of not millions of people are killed in wars . The Crusades is an example . It does not say `` Thou shalt not kill except when trying to claim territory or to land or if the person being killed disagrees with you religiously. `` It does n't say that . The church seems to decide when it will follow it 's rules , and when not . Yes , war is sometimes a neccessary method of self defense , but the many of the Crusades were not neccessary . Most of them were failures , but Christianity is still the second biggest religion in the world ( if not the first ) . The church ca n't be allowed to rule on abortion when they disregard their own laws . Like the above quote , why is the church trying to stop abortion when they would consider one to be alive after taking a breath . if you were to look at it from a scientific standpoint , the individual ovum and sperm are living cells , but they die all the time and no one cares . An embryo or fetus is something starting to develop into a human and that ca n't be stopped without killing it or injecting differnt DNA , but it 's still not too different from sperm and ovum . If you ca n't trust the church to make fair decisions and follow values and morals and rules they put in place , how can you expect an honest good decision about anything from it ."
"Cahuella , The Crusades ( for the most part ) were a justified reaction to Muslim aggression . If you would like to see a recent discussion of this then go to the `` Compromise `` thread on this forum and see what Simone and I discussed . As to the sperm and egg being a thing very similar to a fertilized egg .. I think that may be a bit of a simplification . As to the Church making fair decisions , I believe it does . That 's why it distinguishes an order of morality with degrees of goodness and badness . That 's why a war may be permissable but an abortion is not . Parcum , glad to see you back . I was wondering where you had gone ."
