Am I am sure bringing about more unwanted unloved babies via abortion bans will be great for society.

God's way is clearly the best way. You might notice that I point out that marriage is a covenant between one man, one woman, and God. Abortion is murder.

"God's way is clearly the best way"

"God's way" allows for slavery, child abuse, spousal rape, honor killings, and many other barbaric and primitive things. That's not the best way for people to live.

"marriage is a covenant between one man, one woman, and God"

Then that means people who don't believe in your God shouldn't be allowed to get married, is that right?

You have not checked your Bible. In the Word of God we read that in the Garden of Eden before the Fall of Man there was none of what you blame God for. No slavery, no child abuse, no spousal rape, no honor killings, and no other barbaric things whether of the primitive kind or more technologically advanced barbarism.
Stop blaming God for your problems. Take responsibility. Grow up. Read 'Evidence That Demands a Verdict' by Josh McDowell, volumes I & II. Watch a whole bunch of John MacArthur YouTube videos, Chuck Missler's 'The Electric Universe' video, Jay Vernon McGee sermons, Dr. Donald Barnhouse sermons, and pray that God will forgive you of your sin and come into your heart to be the lord of your life. Jesus said that one must be born again. You desperately need to be born again as right now if you were to die it would not be well with you for all eternity. Merry Christmas!

I don't blame him for my problems because I don't believe he's real. But the God of the Bible does allow for all of those things I listed. I'm not talking about the garden of Eden, I'm talking about what the Bible specifically allows people to do (or even commands).

"Take responsibility"

I take responsibility for my own actions. I don't blame them on demons or Satan or anything else make-believe.

"Read 'Evidence That Demands a Verdict' by Josh McDowell, volumes I & II. Watch a whole bunch of John MacArthur YouTube videos, Chuck Missler's 'The Electric Universe' video, Jay Vernon McGee sermons, Dr. Donald Barnhouse sermons"

I've listened to countless hours of apologists and preachers and Bible teachers, and I haven't seen any good evidence for what they say. That's why I don't believe Christianity is true. If you have some good evidence, I would love to hear it.

"You desperately need to be born again as right now if you were to die it would not be well with you for all eternity"

That's what your religion says, but I have no reason to believe it's actually true.

You don't believe in God, yet you hold God to human standards thereby elevating yourself--your opinion what you have said as opposed to what God 'hath said'-above that of God. You don't even realize that you are assuming authority to dictate unto the rest of society what is good and what is evil--believing yourself to be as a god.
When you presume to be as a god knowing good and evil and believe yourself to be in possession of the authority to dictate unto the rest of society what is right and what is wrong you assume the position of a dictator. Such is the nature of Materialist/Humanists such as yourself. In the past 100 plus years if we look at Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Pol Pot how many hundreds of millions have died by Fascist dictators of your ilk who presume to possess the authority to tell the rest of society what is right and what is wrong, (always for the rest of society to obey but never they themselves!), and then of course to legislate their dictates to be the law. (That prediliction of the Fascists like yourself is explained in the book 'The Law: A Blueprint for a Just Society' by Fredric Bastiat.)
The evidence I have is firstly, that the heavens declare the glory of God. What I mean by that is that if you embrace the Materialist's absurd 'Big Bang' theory then you are embracing a fairy tale that maintains that Long ago and far away Nothing exploded Nowhere, (for no space/time, matter, or energy is postulated to have existed prior to their 'Big Bang' by that theory. In other words, they maintain that space/time, matter, and energy came into existence in their 'Big Bang')
That's ridiculous!
Go to Answers in Genesis. Google it. Then there's the evidence of prophecy within the biblical Text. There's no getting around it! Watch Chuck Missler's 'Electric Universe' video on YouTube.
There's my personal evidence that God changed a wretch like me. I am a New Creature in Christ Jesus. He has changed the desires of my heart. I am now a born from above spiritually regenerated Child of God.
I don't know how you make it through a day in this world without God.
Additionally, there's a paperback I found fascinating written by a doctor who was the physician to a U.S. president and an Emergency Room physician for some 40 odd years titled 'Beyond Death's Door' by Maurice Rollings or Rowlings.
He presents empirical evidence for the existence of a human spirit or soul if you please. He interviewed near death survivors.

"You don't even realize that you are assuming authority to dictate unto the rest of society what is good and what is evil--believing yourself to be as a god"

It's not dictating anything, and it's not believing themselves to be god.

"When you presume to be as a god knowing good and evil and believe yourself to be in possession of the authority to dictate unto the rest of society what is right and what is wrong you assume the position of a dictator.

No it's not

"In the past 100 plus years if we look at Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Pol Pot how many hundreds of millions have died by Fascist dictators of your ilk"

Atheism isn't fascism. Communism isn't fascism. Humanism isn't fascism.

"Fascists like yourself"

Did they say they're a fascist?

"The evidence I have is firstly, that the heavens declare the glory of God. What I mean by that is that if you embrace the Materialist's absurd 'Big Bang' theory then you are embracing a fairy tale that maintains that Long ago and far away Nothing exploded Nowhere, (for no space/time, matter, or energy is postulated to have existed prior to their 'Big Bang' by that theory. In other words, they maintain that space/time, matter, and energy came into existence in their 'Big Bang')"

Criticizing the Big Bang theory isn't evidence of god. And the BBT doesn't say that "nothing exploded nowhere" or that matter and energy didn't exist yet. Learn what the theory actually says.

"Then there's the evidence of prophecy within the biblical Text"

No there isn't. Bible "prophecy" is a joke.

"There's my personal evidence that God changed a wretch like me. I am a New Creature in Christ Jesus"

Your personal story isn't evidence of a god.

"I don't know how you make it through a day in this world without God"

Easy. The same way you make it through your life not believing in stuff from other religions.

"He presents empirical evidence for the existence of a human spirit or soul if you please"

No he doesn't. No one ever has.

"I don't care where you go for all eternity"

Then you're not really a Christian

"May I suggest you simply ask God to show you and spend some time reading (the Bible)"

How do you know they havent?

"Seems to me a reasonable standard"

You think it's reasonable for an all powerful being to punish inferior beings because they're inferior, when he made them that way?

"You desperately need to be born again as right now if you were to die it would not be well with you for all eternity."

The Book says only 144,000 Sainted Chosen (plus a handful of Gentiles) will enter the Pearly Gates. That's almost 60,000 less than the amount of abortions in a single day.
It also says "Judge not, least ye be judged"

Now it ain't for me to say (and not because of the aforementioned reason), but violating "Judge not..." isn't exactly optimal in earning you a place on that exceedingly short line.

Jus' sayin'

Watch a Voddie Baucham YouTube video. Listen to 4 hours of J. Vernon McGee audio recordings on YouTube. Listen to 5 hours of Dr. Donald Barnhouse sermons. Watch 3 hours of John MacArthur videos. Read the Book of Jude ('Judas' in the Greek named after Jesus' half-brother Judas, but the early church changed it to Jude in English so people would not erroneously think that the Holy Spirit had used the traitor Iscariot to write it. It's only ONE PAGE. That's why I recommend it for you.
The immensely ignorant exegesis you employ indicates a lack of ability in Biblical Hermeneutics, so I don't want to suggest any heavy reading that is beyond your limited ability in reading comprehension.

naah, no need to listen to some creepy money grubbing tub of lard 'preaching' Saul/Paul anti-christ-isms made for the very shitters that killed Jesus - - if he was crucified at all. I prefer the actual source.

See, Jude/Judas wasn't the only one that shared a name - there was also Jesus, son of the Father. No, not THAT Jesus/Joshua/Yeshua, but Yeshua bar Abba. Arrested for sedition against the Roman Empire. Tried and sentenced to death by Pontious Pilot. Then spared. Bar Abba. Sound familiar? You might remember him as Barabbas. See, the Church altered his name too to avert any confusion between Joshua son of the Father, and Joshua/Jesus, Son of THE Father.

PS: You are right. The 144,000 comes from Revelations, another paganic Roman tome. As you know, according to THE Word given to THE Chosen, there is no Heavan or Hell. Only sleep.

ciao, and thanks for playing!

"Those who are not children of God are children of the devil. Their marriages and any other covenants they enter into do not include God, so their children are deprived of the blessing of having a father and a mother who had entered into the covenant of marriage with God"

The majority of people on earth are not Christians, which means the majority of people who are married and raising children are not doing so in the context of a Christian marriage. Then why do so many of them have happy and successful marriages?

"You are clearly a child of the devil"

You seem to think so. I believe the devil is fictional. You can't prove he's real.

"so it is impossible for you to understand many things as you are blinded to the truth and doomed at present to eternity in Hell"

Hell is make-believe. Nobody has ever shown me any evidence that it is a real place, so why would I be afraid of going there?

"I hope you choose life and I mean life eternal in the prophesied Christ and only begotten Son of God, the Lord Jesus of the Bible"

Once again, nobody has ever shown me good evidence that Christianity is true. Not that they haven't tried, of course.

"Evidence that demands a verdict" isn't good evidence. I've read books by Josh McDowell and his arguments are lousy.

"all the evidence in the world is not going to help you as you have decided to reject the Creator"

So you've already made up your mind, pretending that you know what other people think

"Yikes! Not going to end well for you!"

Even more reason for you to be a Muslim

Please,

Do you even realize some religions have polygamy? Even those that share the same scriptures of your religion.

A fetus is not a baby, a toddler is not an adult. Abortion is not murder but forcing a birth can put a mother's life at risk.

You THINK you are superior JUST because YOU believe ancient writings that were translated across several languages and centuries.

Hitler is in heaven say hi to him for me ok.

My unprovable beliefs should not have any effect on you right? And vice versa.

Religion is means to control people and if you want to be controlled fine, just stop trying to control others with your irrationality.

You write "Even those that share the same scriptures of your religion." (sic 'same Scripture as your religion.') Those perversions of the Christian faith are called cults. Read 'Kingdom of the Cults' or better, 'Evidence That Demands a Verdict' volumes I & II by Josh McDowell.
"Forcing a birth"? Those who follow God's Way do not force any births. They wait until they have entered into the covenant of holy matrimony before having sex with their spouse. This avoids catching sexually transmitted diseases too!
I don't think I am superior. I am a sinner just like you who has died to himself and been saved by God. I am a New Creature in Christ Jesus, a spiritually regenerated Child of God. Do I sin? Everyday! It's a sanctification process in which as we in Christ Jesus mature in our faith we are delivered from the bondage of sin continuously unto the time we die and receive our glorified bodies which will be sinless. Every day I cast down evil thoughts and pray. I too get sickened by the 'holier than thou' types who claim not to sin. Hitler promoted the Nationa Socialist Workers Party. You make clear that you are a Socialist.
We now have MRI machines that see the little faces of fetuses grimacing in pain as their little arms and legs are torn from them in the most popular method of abortion. Then a sharpened stainless steal pipe is jammed into the back of the soft little skull of the fetus and the brains along with the eyeballs are sucked out by a vacuum. We now know that the fetus feels every moment of the "procedure." The second most popular method of killing a fetus is to chemically burn the unborn child in a saline concentrate solution. Ouch! That's got to hurt! MRI machines show the baby attempting to cry out in agony. What mother would not put her life at risk to save her child from such torture? Did you murder your baby?

"Not to mention women who have abortions are more likely to become drug and or alcohol addicts, suffer from depression and other mental health issues, as well as increased risk of breast cancer."

The supposed link between abortion and breast cancer is a myth, perpetuated by anti-abortion activists. And if somebody has an abortion and also has depression, how do you know the depression came after the abortion?

I know that your question was rhetorical but since you asked, no they were about proper condom use which was less about males using condoms for birth control in sex with females but about preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS between two males.

Now it's all about transitioning, pronouns, toys, etc. - which is ad hoc birth control since they are in no way recommending or providing education about heterosexual intercourse.

Yes, I often forget that there are those on this site as old, or older, than I am.

Yeah, we had it in the fourth or fifth grade (I forget) which would have put it at about 1974 - 75 for me. It was all about insert tab A into slot B and don't catch a disease.

Then, in Marine Corps boot camp it was all don't catch a disease and all women are a) prostitutes that will have their pimps roll you for your paycheck or b) dudes in drag or c) lazy slobs that will marry you, plop out a couple of kids, get fat, write bad checks all over base, divorce you and take half of your pay and benefits.

My original reference was to the 1980s version of sex ed when it first started going sideways.

"1/3 of all inmates in the US are illegal immigrants, in places like NY and California it is closer to 50%."

Not even remotely true. Per 100,000 people in each group, illegal immigrants have a lower rate of incarceration than native-born Americans, and legal immigrants have an even lower rate than the other two groups.

Both and incarcerated means incarcerated awaiting trial or convicted. Yet another reason The US had much higher incarceration rates is/was bail laws until recently you were much more likely to be held on bail in the US then other countries. with the passage of no bail laws US incarceration rates have likely dropped significantly and crimes in those cities have increased dramatically.

Used to be 20 thousand or more inmates on Rikers Island, since the no bail law was passed crime of nearly every category has increased 20 to 50% and the inmate population on Rikers has fallen to less than 6 thousand (might even be below 5 thousand not sure of the latest numbers) there was at the time I retired 16 jails on Rikers Island I believe the number of them that are still open and operating now is 4 or 5 with 2 others only house Covid cases.
