- Religious bigotry? I was just stating a widely-held belief among x-tians.

-
- NOT PARTICULARLY SEVERE?! <choke> Endless torture in hell is NOT PARTICULARLY
- SEVERE? Then postulate some punishment *worse* that never-ending fiery
- torture.

-
- Very melodramatic, pinhead. Have you ever stepped on a bug? GASP! That
- creature was guilty of non-sentience and you punished it! Point: a fetus
- is about as sentient as a common cockroach during most of the time that
- it is legal to have abortion on demand under Roe v. Wade.
-
- So unless you are an utter pacifist and have never killed anything, even
- a fly, in your life, you are as guilty of discriminating against non-
- sentient beings as you claim the women who have abortions are.
-
- >While I'm in the neighborhood, what is the motive for bastardising the name
- >of Christianity in the above manner?
-
- You people (at least the ones who believe in original sin) bastardize your
- own name quite effectively. I was merely observing the fact.
