How many Christians are here?

I am a Christian. However, I don't attend church, because I'm not very social. On the other hand I keep God close to my heart. I am a sinner, and my heart is full of regrets. I feel that every day I find a new way to spit on all I have been given and I just can't turn back some things. So I feel the need for salvation. I believe Jesus came to earth to show us the dangers of ``amor sui', and is our savior. I certainly accept him as my savior.

Is anyone else here a Christian? I imagine most of you are atheists, agnostics or of other religions. This is ok with me, as I understand it is what is fashionable amongst young people these days. However, I'm always happy when I meet a fellow Christian in an unexpected place :)

And if we are to resort to murder, why should it be babies getting murdered?

Why not old people, who are economically useless?

Retirement centers are sources of employment.

True, they might be leeches to the government, but everyone was a leech to their parents when they were young. Killing all children because they're leeches would mean eradicating the human race and that doesn't make much sense. If you were to do that, this argument should end right here, we should all kill ourselves and we would be done with this shit. Since that doesn't make sense and we're not killing children, why kill old people?

Why not the sick or disabled?

Same, hospitals and rehabilitation centers are sources of employment. Sick and disabled people can still contribute to society with stuff that doesn't require you to use your body. For example, you could have terminal autism and be a Javashit ninja rockstar making $300k from home.

The chronically unemployed?

I... don't know. Saying they are potential 3.0 ninja rockstars is too far-fetched and not really an argument, but whatever.

These are not choices I think we should force ourselves to make by refusing contraception.

Now if people actually used contraception this would be a better world.

A question for you: do the microscopic frogs living in your balls count as living beings? Because masturbation would be abortion. If you don't, then you're setting a starting point for life. Are you killing someone if you remove a fertilized ovule out of an uterus? What if it's a 5 days old ovule? How about 20 days old? When does it start being murder?
