If a bully attacks a 12-year-old girl, does she have the right to
defend herself? This is no different. Her entire FUTURE is at
stake, and if there is any chance that she has Anti-Choice parents
who would FORCE her to sacrifice countless of her future opportun-
ities and gestate-to-term against her will, we can only hope that
she is astute enough, and well-informed enough, to be able to
access the REMEDY of abortion on the sly.
12-year-olds can be VERY astute and act accordingly, when
seriously threatened. And a pregnancy at that age would consti-
tute an *extremely* serious threat.
BTW -- what makes you think she'd need to seek surgery?
Haven't you heard of RU-486? It's legal, available, and can be
employed during the first 7 weeks?
And "Plan B" -- the "morning-after pill" -- even though not yet
available for teens under 17, has been deemed perfectly safe for
ALL teen girls. So probably would be just as safe for 12-year-old
ones. And it beats hell out of being pregnant at that age! THIS
link informs all pre-17-year-old girls who read it just HOW they can
GET AROUND that prescription requirement. It's EASY to do. And
they can obtain it in advance, and have it ready to use if needed.

Accessing the remedy of abortion is possibly the single MOST
significant act of SELF-DEFENSE that girls and women of ANY
age when pregnancy is possible might ever be in a position to take
in their entire lives.
Girls and women of ALL ages who are capable of becoming
pregnant NEED to always be fully aware of THIS:
Pregnant at the WRONG time?
Considering gestating to term?
The DAMAGE done to countless of your future
opportunities by gestating unwanted pregnancies
to term is SERIOUS and PERMANENT. For most of
those lost opportunities, they are GONE FOREVER!
There's NO turning back!
99% of all who initially plan to gestate-to-term
and then adopt out... DON'T. During the pregnancy,
they change their minds. And the result is the perma-
nent LOSS of countless future opportunities.
So DON'T be pushed or influenced by others into
gestating. Remember that abortion is the REMEDY
for that unwanted medical condition that will *immed-
iately* RESTORE your FULL range of future oppor-
tunities to PRE-ill-timed-pregnancy levels.
You can always get pregnant AGAIN when the time
is RIGHT. But is you gestate an UNwanted pregnancy
at the WRONG time, countless of your future oppor-
tunities WILL be wrecked, irrevocably. Forever! And
there'll be NO getting them back -- EVER.
Important: Early abortion is 8-10 times safer than childbirth,
especially for teenagers. In the end, though, it's the woman's
choice. Nobody can force a woman to have an abortion, regard-
less of her age.
HERE are KEY resources to HELP you access the remedy
of abortion, in the event of ill-timed pregnancy:

Nothing could be more HEINOUS than for any person to be
enough of a hateful LOUSE as to support an agenda that could
DENY that right (or make it difficult) to ANY of them -- regardless
of age. That would be as big a crime against humanity as any
other form of terrorism, since it has the STRONG potential of
destroying a person's entire FUTURE!
America most assuredly DOES have its very own home-grown
version of the Taliban. Its terrorists abuse people in different
ways from the Middle Eastern variety, but if not for the fact that
SENSIBLE and COMPASSIONATE people (egalitarians) constantly
hold them at bay, countless people and their futures would be
grievously harmed.
To those whom we defend: REST ASSURED! We will NEVER

Homosexuality is a sin. Homosexuality is in fact a very great sin before a
Holy God. If you want to know what God thinks about the sin of
homosexuality, just look back in the Bible in the Old Testament. What
happened to the City of Sodom? Was God pleased with the sin of those
Sodomites? You probably already know the answer. Fire and brimstone was
God's righteous answer to the sin of homosexuality.
Some would say, "that was the Old Testament." But God is still God. God has
not changed. God still thinks such homosexual sin is evil, that it is in
fact an "abomination" before God. The destruction of Sodom by God was a
warning - a warning to those who would commit such sin. God is against
homosexuality.
Some call homosexuality a "lifestyle". But is it though? Are homosexuals
generally happy ("gay") or are they sad? The fact is that homosexuals have
a very high rate of suicide. No, the sexual perversion of homosexuality is
really a "death-style". Perhaps you are offended that homosexuals are
called sex perverts. But actually, homosexuality is by definition a sexual
perversion and so the term "sex pervert" is a correct term to use in
describing a homosexual's perversion of the normal sexual relationship into
one that is "against nature".
Many, if not most homosexuals are also sexual predators as well. The Roman
Catholic Church has paid out millions of dollars in settlements regarding
homosexual priests who prey on others in order to commit homo sex sin on
them. Nevertheless, that is just a sample of this type of problem.
Homosexuals generally are sexual predators in that they often try to
"evangelize" their sin by seeking out the "fresh meat" of new victims. I
have known of both men and women who have been "propositioned" on the street
by homosexuals trying to get such "straights" to commit homo sin with them.
This problem is not at all uncommon.
Another example of homosexuals trying to get others to commit their sin with
them was the shocking attempt by homosexuals in California back in 2006 to
require that children's textbooks include only "positive" words about
homosexuality. The reason was obvious - to get such impressionable children
to think "positive" thoughts about those who commit this wicked sin and
therefore to encourage those children to commit this wicked sin with those
homosexuals. It was a "sexual predator" attempt, not upon individuals, but
upon vast numbers of unsuspecting little children in all of the public
schools in California. It was the attempt to seduce a whole generation of
little children into becoming sex perverts.
The citizens of Sodom were also the same; in the sense that they too wanted
to evangelize their sex sin to non-homosexuals. The men of Sodom told Lot
that they were going to do it with him, (by force if necessary), to try and
make Lot commit the sin of homosexuality. It took an act of God to stop
this forceful "evangelism effort" by the homos of Sodom. God, however, did
stop them from succeeding.
Perhaps you have fallen into this abominable sin of homosexuality. Please
remember that God has not changed. Your sin will find you out one day. God
has already sent AIDS as a warning to homosexuals. God will judge your sin
soon enough.
Perhaps you have not gotten AIDS yet. But you will still die one day
anyway. When you do die, you will stand before God, and you will be forced
to answer for your wicked homo sin. God will judge you in that day by
having you cast into the Lake of Fire called Hell. This will be the just
reward by God upon you for your error.
The "good news" is that you do not have to spend Eternity in Hell. God has
one, and only one, remedy for your sin problem. The very word "evangelize"
actual comes from the words "good news". God has some very good news for
you. Jesus can save you from your awful sex sin. Jesus paid for your sin
on the Cross 2,000 years ago. Jesus is up in Heaven right now, desiring for
you to trust Him to pay for your sins.
Why not come to Jesus right now? Why not have Jesus save you from your
sins? Practicing homosexuals never make it to Heaven. Almost all love
their sex sin too much and so will not give it up and come and trust Jesus
to save them from it. Don't follow the crowd down to Hell. Be the
exception. Be one of the very few former homos who will ever make it to
Heaven. Trust Jesus today while God's Spirit is calling you. Then get into
a Fundamentalist Baptist church and live for Jesus.

To sum up: you've go no evidence to back up any of your assertions.
All you've got are stories written down in a book from the Bronze Age,
and threats.
I grew up fundamentalist Baptist, by the way. I was born again at age
11. But I made my way out to reason and rationality, and it beats
your evil, sick mythology hands-down.
Now kindly keep your proselytizing out of alt.atheism. It's against
our charter and those who insist on doing so will be reported for
abuse.

No, circular reasoning requires the premise to depend on the conclusion.
Your argument is even worse, it's self-contradictory. You use the
(supposed) fact that everything requires a creator to prove the existence
of something that didn't require a creator.

Which direction is "outside of creation"? Where's the exit? Where's any

So you jump from "all things need a cause" to "God doesn't need a cause"
with no justification beyond your word? Clearly, if God doesn't need a
creator, not everything requires a creator. If at least one thing doesn't
require a creator, why can't that thing be the universe?

Both descriptions of it were not quite right.
Actually, circular reasoning means that the conclusion
is assumed as one of the premises. In the argument
below, "c" appears both as a conclusion and a premise.
p: d
P: a -> b
p: c
P: b->c
______________
C: c
The problem is not that the argument is incorrect.
You can indeed correctly deduce c as the conclusion.
It is just that it is silly to take the trouble
to "prove" something that you already assume
to be true.

That's nice.
Whether or not I have an idea of what it means does not change the fact that
it describes the tenor of your questions.
And also untrue. My very first statement presents all the evidence one
needs.
Present one argument proving that God is created, and I will concede.

My dear child, I don't believe you deity exists at all. However, I am
simply pointing that your argument fails spectacularly because it
depends on a Special Pleading fallacy.
You stated that everything requires a creator. But when pressed,
stated that God doesn't need a creator. Making this a special pleading
that we've seen over and over. Go take a debate class.

If you want to act like a child however, many of us here will happily
treat you as one.
Your choice. Put up or shut up.
Again, the message to which you refer is?
"God stands outside of creation; that's what makes him God.
To clarify, all events (creation of things) need a cause; such cause
being God."
Now, put up or shut up. Stop playing the fool. Objective evidence
punk, got any?
With all due respect, I aint' your child.

Apparently, my message was not communicated. "Creator of all things" meaning
the cause of all events. Again, present one argument proving that God is
created, and I will concede.

Uh, no. You have given no reason to believe that there is a god, no

exists, then we'll talk.

No, you aren't my child. If you were, you would be required to be able

It's your claim that all things require a creator. Saying that god is
exempt from this universal rule is a logical fallacy. Special
Pleading, you might want to look it up.
Essentially, you cannot claim that "A" is universally required or
possessed as a law, then state that B does not possess that attribute.

If I failed to deliver my message, how is it that you were able to deliver
it back to me? And what's up with the ad hominem?
Read my very first statement in this thread.
What part of "all events (creation of things) need a cause; such cause being
God" is unclear to you?
Uh, yes. Clearly, my use of the term "outside" does not refer to the
physical; your use does.

Indeed I have! May not be "reason" in YOUR mind, but then again NO one can
believe in God short of Him revealing His truth to them.
>
> All you've done is make a self-contradictory assertion.
You must be making reference to "Creator of all things". That's why I
immediately clarified my statement in our other discussion. Thus, there is
no contradiction.
It isn't the message you failed to deliver, Sport. It's the evidence
to back it up.
>And what's up with the ad hominem?
He may be calling you ten kinds of idiot, but he's not saying that's
the reason your argument fails. Hence, no ad hominem.
He's not playing.

You have nothing, you never did. There is NO objective evidence to
support your claim, there never has been. You throw metaphysical
nonsense around as if you are an expert on things that do not exist.
You act like a child, playing silly little word games when backed into a
corner by someone that sees through the smoke and mirrors. You were
asked several times to provide evidence and you tried every punkish way
possible to avoid and dodge the issue.
The name fits, get over it.

First, it's an unsupported assertion. How do you know that all things
need a cause? Second, when you claim all things need a cause, you also
are claiming either God needs a cause or you are special pleading God out
of your original assertion without justification.

I did, and it does NOT apply. My claim is that all events require a cause;
and the cause of all events leading to creation is God.
You have presented NOTHING in the way of proof for your claim. You are
acting childish and foolish. You continue to duck and weave trying to
avoid admitting you are with out evidence and only making blind assertions.
You are a poor apologist for your mythical deity. Perhaps you should
look into a different belief system. Reality comes to mind, you might
want to take a look at that.

Then why did he claim that it IS?
Do you ALWAYS answer a question with a question?
According to YOU. Obviously, you and I have a different understanding of
"clarification".
To a blind man, colors do not exist.
When you grow up, you might understand what the means. Till that time
however, child, you're gaining no converts and your argument has failed.
You made a statement of fact, were asked to produced objective
evidence to support it and you failed, miserably in fact.
Go crawl back into your bed with your security blanket of myth and leave
the adults alone.
Provide objective evidence to support your claim that there is a creator
that was not created itself. Go on, be an adult about it, if possible.
I explained simply, and the objective evidence is under your finger
tips, where your messages come from and what supports them. Do you deny
the objective evidence for the Internet and your messages?
Perhaps your delusion has gotten to the point where you don't even
consider yourself an inhabitant of planet earth. Since you and reality
are obviously complete strangers, it would not surprise me to see you
post somewhere along the line, that the natural laws of physics,
chemistry, biology and such, don't apply to you. But I'll give you the
benefit of the doubt for now.
So, where's this objective evidence for the creator, kid? Come on,
present SOMETHING. If you can.
Your ignorance isn't a compelling argument.

Come on, prove your claim. Be the first, EVER, to prove that a deity

Then we can argue about whether or not it is your deity. But that comes
AFTER you prove the damn thing is even out there, somewhere.
