- You're dodging the question/statement: How can you justify the worship of
- a being that commits mass-murder of children, while at the same time
- denouncing abortion? If you argue that your god can kill what he creates
- then I assert that a woman can kill what she creates. If you assert that
- your god can do what he wants to because he has the power to do so, then I
- assert that a woman can get an abortion because she has the power to.
-
- As for inconsistency, many Christians believe that the bible implicitly
- prohibits abortion, while at the same time it glorifies their god's
- killing of thousands or millions of children. He even *orders* his people
- to kill children *explicitly*.
-
- Do you worship a mass-killer just because he has the power to kill you
- too?
