I lived in Oklahoma for 8 years. It was a learning experience. I had no idea anyplace in America was living as a feudal fiefdom.

What was that song? Sympathy for the Diety?

I wish religion would become illegal.

Well, since humans are gods, the real ones in charge of our lives, in a way, the rape and incest being committed is the will of the evil "gods" doing it.

These kinds of statements by lawmakers just show how stupid people can be. How ignorant.

It's people like him who put the young of his own family in harm's way. He may deserve retribution but no child does. The ones who are hurt by rapists and incest promoters are the vulnerable or ones in a vulnerable position.

So, this would also mean that any human interference in saving a life is "playing god." And, what about this supposed "free will?" If this god gave humans free will, giving them the freedom to do as THEY choose, then it is playing god to deny them their freedom of choice---right? Also, one would think, if this god does not want an abortion to happen it will make sure it doesn't. And, added to this, this supposed god knew every abortion that was going to take place before it ever created humans, so how could it be upset about any of them---or about anything that humans do? They forget that their god created humans, knowing all these things, just so it could have some tiny beings to fear and worship it...disgusting!

The only possibly effective response to any “Will of God” statement is that it could also be the will of Satan. By sanctifying a seemingly evil act it’s just as likely to be supporting Satan as assigning God’s disappointments. The Garden of Eden story demonstrates that being tricked is not a defense for soiling ones soul.
