      The unborn are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn.

      -Pastor Dave Barnhart

        Yup punish the “sluts” with parenthood and poverty, punish gay people with children dying from cancer, punish the heathens by hanging and burning them on pyres. The only thing they want in this world is hell for everyone, and deep down they know there’s no god to give it to them so they have to do it themselves.

          I love the ‘deep down they know there’s no god’ as I’ve heard the exact opposite thing from theists.

            They’re not worried what a god thinks, only their congregation. There’s so much “behind the curtain” sinning that they certainly don’t act like there’s an omniscient god judging them.

            Hell, they do more sinning than me and I’ve dabbled in satanism.

      Only if the parents are heathens(or they need anything that cant be achieved by sending thoughts and prayers™) Then it’s gods punishment and they get to feel okay about condemning a literal baby to death.
