When significant neural activity first occurs. The grey area starts at 20 weeks.


At last an answer, well done!

So before 20 weeks is fair game as there is no soul? We can manipulate cells to our hearts delight?

If a man takes no thought about what is distant, he will find sorrow near at hand.

If we are part of god, we are born of god. Our capacity to create life from cells is god capacity. If we have a moral dilemma then that moral dilemma was created and allowed to happen by god.

If you believe in god, everything is done for a purpose and seems to me that if God exists then the human pawns in the game are of little concern, it’s the game itself that is important. It is as if the God, as described by the contorted minds of worshippers, is playing himself at chess or possibly patience.


So you don't think that some other being or agency might have been responsible for all of the sinful stuff?
Someone like Satan, for instance?


You can't have your cake and eat it. God is either ultimately accountable or isn't.

Which shall it be?
