[quote]Awful lot of critical analysis and interpreting being done on the guy’s behalf - seems like at the very least one could admit the message, whatever it was, was poorly delivered[/quote] :lol: Wrong, Again. You say this, but you also admitted, I think, to misinterpreting the word "disord...
[quote]You dont even understand what was said but are fighting against it. Hilarious. [/quote] It's strange how seemingly intelligent people make the same basic remarks as a hyper-Feminist so quickly: "He said it's diabolical that woman want jobs!!" No, not in the slightest. But that's par...

Hellfire is the best artistic production...
Still the greatest show ever, even if the ending was mediocre. 33 remains the most tense and complete hourlong episode of all time. So say we all. And... Obligatory [img]https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/951851593308271665/31F6BE8243B50AEB6F3C12EA3CBF2A5D4DC0E9D3/?...
[quote]Perhaps it’s only innocuous to you because you share his beliefs. Have you considered that possibility?[/quote] No. I think believing and speaking are innocuous in this context. It has nothing to do with what he is saying, or whether or not I agree. I can disagree with what a lot of an...
[quote]If your belief is that a woman who can’t have children is just shite outta luck on account of God’s will, and you use your platform to broadcast that conviction, then yeah man[/quote] But that's literally not the belief. The belief is that her want of kids does not change the moral impl...
[quote] If you’re speaking from a position of power or relevance as he is, and you’re proclaiming that IVF and surrogacy are in defiance of God’s will, then yes, that is an uncompromising pursuit of religious ideals. [/quote] Speaking your beliefs is an uncompromising pursuit of religious ideals...
[quote]How is it not? [/quote] Because zealotry is the [b]pursuit[/b] of, as you mention. Not the [b]belief in[/b]. Believing in things is not zealotry. Speaking of things is not zealotry. All Butker did was stand up and profess his beliefs, nothing more. Lighting yourself on fire is zealotr...
[quote]I think you’ve lost the plot here on my initial issue with your “stay at home moms = religious zealots/what is the world coming to?!” emotional reaction. The thing is, your description of his beliefs (which was thorough and well explained and honestly appreciated) and how he arrived to the...
[quote]That and much more. [/quote] So then you would agree that it's not so simple t say "birthing a life," so why then LMAO at saying they are not such simple concepts. ...
[quote][quote]And I hope you realize that "birthing a life," is a really generous way to put surrogacy and IVF. [/quote] Lmao[/quote] The point is that they are not just "birthing a life," and the Catholic disagreement is not such a simple take reaction that they are anti-"birthing a life." ...
[quote]His grouping of birthing a life and killing one as similar disorders qualifies more than the culture war headlines.[/quote] Dude, it's the wrong read. He was a Catholic guy, speaking to a catholic audience. Disorder is a very specific phrase in that context. The commandments are the cl...
[quote]Also - this is all a long drive away from your original post “stay at home moms = religious zealotry” - which I think you can admit was a wild “mischaracterization” of butker’s intial quotes, as I was clearly referring to his other bat shite statement.[/quote] [quote]The rest of it only...
[quote]He only mentioned one pervasiveness of disorder, man[/quote] Disorder isn't a single thing like your are using it though, it's more akin to a category....
[quote]Bull. shite[/quote] Yeah that's not a comparison. He's saying a bunch of things come from the very broad term of disorder. All disorder means is not in alignment with God's will. It's a huge term that covers a lot of ground. It's like saying gorilla's and sharks and rats are animals...
[quote]Brother you are agreeing with a football kicker who compared IVF to euthanasia, you have no moral or intellectual high ground here[/quote] He, nor I,compared the two to each other. And you are straight up dodging the reasoning and logic to use insults, reference zealotry, etc. I'm just...
[quote]Terms that would only be there if guided by an insane amount of devotion to a spiritual ideology?[/quote] Is it REALLY insane, you are using that word, that if you believe life starts at conception, then throwing away embryos or editing genes is not a good thing? Again, you can disagree...
[quote]“Stay at home moms” everybody From an intelligent man! Get the frick outta here[/quote] I mean, isn't that the most "outlandish" thing he said? That seems to be the biggest and most controversial talking point. Or is also disagreeing with euthanasia "zealotry?" That's nuts. It's a ...
