[...] you believe in everlasting torment in hell and the age of accountability, you should be hoping that every pregnancy ends in abortion. 0 Comments – Leave a comment! « Previous Post blog comments powered by Disqus [...]

I've made this argument a few times myself. Using traditional Christian logic we should kill everyone before "the age of accountability" what's a little murder when you're saving them from eternal torment?

Just found this particular thread today and think it's wonderful!

I traced out this exact argument with an evangelical friend of mine several years ago--of course, he had no response to its logic.

I'm thrilled to see it posted in a public forum and surprised that more evangelicals haven't considered the ramifications of their own logic. For me, this is the 21st century version of Pascal's Wager.

This kind of logical thinking, though, has a long genealogy, even within Protestant circles. Timothy Dwight, a prominent nineteenth-century minister and theologian, actually suggested the efficacy of early death in his sermon "Long Life Not Desirable." Not quite the same thing since the abortion debate didn't exist back then, but similar in its consistency.

Oh my goodness. This is the most RIDICULOUS thing I have ever heard ANYONE try to win an argue with!

Let me ask you UR's this:

What is the point of a God/Jesus and their message and salvation if all will end up in Heaven? Those who believe and those who don't? Not just those who don't KNOW, but those who know, have known, and just don't give a damn? I'm sorry, but this sounds just like Atheists' and their "there is nothing in the end for everyone" beliefs. The only difference between the UR's and Atheists, is that the UR's have a "happy ending."
