You're acting as if pregnancy just randomly occurs like an illness. It does not. I wouldn't believe in a religion that doesn't have evidence to back it up, so your presumption that I would still doesn't make any sense. Offering support to a distressed person about to jump off a bridge is okay, so why isn't it okay to offer support to a distressed person about to allow someone to murder her child? Both believe that what they're going to do is the right thing.

Tbf I think our current understanding that's available is pretty good, especially from how deep Christology goes and from theologians and such. It's just that some people don't have a good individual understanding.

I think a good example is the whole "turn the other cheek" thing, and "if someone sues you for your coat, give him your shirt". Because it was to do with exposing the clear injustice and being equal. Same with the "go with him two". It's less so about being a pushover, but putting yourself on equal footing and being respectful.

This video explains it better than I can:

"Conflict in Relationships Unavoidable" Jesus Offers Wisdom for Seeking Peace

Also another funny example: I was working with someone from another country who's a very new Christian and also to the English language, and they read "as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us." and they thought it was to do with the political east and west, instead of how it's describing infinity via cardinal directions.

Like in 1 Corinthians, KJV says "Charity is patient, charity is kind" compared to the modern more well known "Love is patient, love is kind"

Once I had a teacher who was trying to boast to me that his uncle or someone worked in engineering some American bomber, and I responded with "how many iraqis did that kill?" I didn't get into trouble.

The amount of mental gymnastics and presumptions about me here is absolutely astounding. Me not donating a kidney to you is not the same as me ripping you apart from limb to limb. The equivalent would be, just say a pregnant woman would need to take a medical treatment to prevent a miscarriage. Do I think it should be illegal for her to refuse the treatment? No! As letting nature play out is not actively intervening and murdering someone.

Also, I hear atheists flip flop between "we can have morals too, even though we believe that there is no god" to "you are only holding this moral about life being worth something because of your belief in god" and it's astonishing.

I still believed abortion was wrong before I took the Bible seriously as a guideline for my life. I also believed in other things that aren't biblical at the time. I challenged the social norm and still came to the conclusion that religion aside, it's immoral. The only influence religion has on my opinions surrounding abortion is that I believe that morality exists and that human life is sacred. Which is why I am also against the death penalty and I am against refusing to help people who are dying.

This is depressingly hilarious that they even do this in movie posters

Why aren't you giving all this money to charity?

The chances of Northern Ireland hosting matches at the Euro 2028 football tournament appear to have gone.

The UK government announced on Friday night that the estimated cost of rebuilding Casement Park stadium in Belfast has "risen dramatically" to more than £400m.

The government said it will not be providing funding to redevelop the stadium in time for the tournament.

It said there was a "significant risk" that the stadium would not be built in time.

In order to be ready for the 2028 tournament, Casement Park needs to be rebuilt by the summer of 2027.

Northern Ireland could have a role as a training base or host warm-up matches at the existing Windsor Park stadium, but hosting tournament fixtures appears to be over.

Plans have been in place to build a new stadium at Casement Park since 2011.

The initial estimated cost of rebuilding Casement was £77.5m, with £62.5m coming from the Stormont executive and £15m from the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA).

That was more than a decade ago, and since then costs have risen dramatically.

To try to cater for soccer as well as GAA matches increased the cost further, as UEFA requires a higher specification of stadium.

Although hopes of being part of the Euro 2028 tournament may be over, it does not mean the stadium cannot be rebuilt for the GAA, which was the original purpose.

However, that will not be cheap either, and the GAA will be hoping that even though the UK government has said it will not be funding a Euro 2028 compliant stadium, it may still contribute to the redevelopment whenever it happens.

The Irish government has already pledged more than £40m.
