Why are atheists interested in religion?

Why in the world would you agree with him on that? You don't think newborn infants and certain disabled people are human beings?!

I will have to check the specifics about infants, but indeed, certain disabled people are not human beings far as euthanasia goes. In any case, that is hardly the only factor to consider. There are situations when euthanasia is needed to diminish suffering.

Myself, I do not think you know half as much about Utilitarian Ethics as you believe you do.

I don't think you know much about human rights. I can't believe I'm seeing this garbage on here. :facepalm:

On what do you base that impression?

No point in keeping this for now, I see.

I will let you sit on this impasse for a while. Maybe you will decide to read a bit on that what you are dismissing to passionately, or maybe you will want to offer some arguments.

You saying that a group of humans aren't human beings. Or did you forget what you said already?

I suppose not. I can already see where you stand. Very disappointed.

I'm not the one who needs to do some long and hard thinking and reflecting here.

Rather judgemental on things you do not understand.

most interesting how you sem to flat out refuse to at least come to understand what you so easily dismiss.

Yes, very disappointing.

Much likened to creationists who attack evolution with lies and misinformation...

Lol at you saying that someone should be more accepting of people arguing that some groups of humans aren't human beings. You're funny. I feel as if I've stepped into the Twilight Zone.

When did I say that?

Are you already reduced to lying?

Yes, very disappointing indeed.

That's what the issue I brought up is. Pay attention.

Now blatant avoidance...

You did not answer my direct question:

Remember, you are the one claiming the moral high ground.
The least you can do is not be hypocritical while perched up there.

You yourself didn't say that but if you bothered to read my post and the post I replied to, you would see why I said that.

Now, I'm done talking about this. I can already see what Luis' stance on this is and he was the one I replying to about it in the first place. I'm not going to play games with you.

So much for your moral high ground.

Hey, are you guys talking about abortion? If so, could you please not? It's kind of a landmine that might catch people who don't feel like talking about abortion unawares. That includes loads of members who have terminated pregnancies themselves and would rather not wade through idiotic posts about how unspeakably evil that makes them.

No. It wasn't about abortion at all (I'm not sure why people keep assuming that it is). It was about newborn infants, disabled people and euthanasia.

I disagree.
It was about you going off onto an emotional rollercoaster claiming the moral high ground over something you flat out admit you know little to nothing about.

At least, that is what I was talking about....

Yeah, except that's not what I said. Seems that all you're interested in is misrepresenting what people have said and throwing around insults. I'm not interested in talking to you about this anymore. Go pester someone else.

Ok. I'm assuming that because I didn't see anything jump out at me on the wiki on whoever it was you're talking about. Usually when someone starts going on about who is or isn't a person on RF it's an abortion bomb waiting to blow.

So what are the guy's views on newborns and disabled people that you object to?
