No can of worms. I’m still opposed to abortion and chemical birth control methods that destroy a fertilized egg because there is scientific evidence that the fertilized egg is a new life and as all human beings, regardless of their stage of development, have an innate right to exist, then it is immoral to kill unborn humans.

The website for Libertarians for Life (http://www.l4l.org/index.html) has a lot of the scientific info on it.
This article: http://www.l4l.org/library/mythfact.html gives the scientific reasoning.
This article: http://www.libertariansforlife.org/library/congrecord.html details some of the “liberty” based arguments against abortion. It is a speech given by a pro-life, libertarian Atheist. It was presented before congress by Dr. Paul.

Karen: I capitalize Atheist because I think it should be capitalized. It seems to me that capitalizing religions and not worldviews is linguistic religious pandering. Why do we do one but not the other? Religions are merely superstitious worldviews. I’m sure someone will criticize me for being “just an angry Atheist” though and claim that this “proves” that I secretly still believe in god. Ad hominem fallacies are so much fun. I do not capitalize god. Any capital gods that you find are ones I haven’t edited out yet. My capitalization habits are not reflective of my worldview.

Hi, interesting stuff, I too have difficulty with alot of things in the Christian church, esp the authority arguments. I appreciate your willingness to include links to opposing views.
But why do you capitalize Atheist? I would not write “I am a Mother” since it is not a proper noun, but I would write “I am a Rotarian”…sorry for my lack of understanding/knowlwdge, but is atheist actually a proper noun, associated with a group and if so what? Also I noticed that at times you do not capitalize God, other times you do. Might this indicate some remaining ambivalence on your part?

It seems like you did your homework. I, however cannot agrre with you. All you do is cast doubt on some of the beleives of Christians, which is quite easy, one can cast doubt on anything. But you’re far from proving there is no God and Jesus is not God. Well, there is only one way to know for sure: to die, and we all will one day.

I hope you’re not doing anything drastic that you “couldn’t” do before when you were Christian.

Hi Josh,

I found your site through an Amazon review of yours, and just wanted to say ‘hi!’. I’ve been on a similar journey as you, but not sure where I’ll land quite yet.

I just finished Atlas Shrugged, and it’s given me quite a bit to think about. So it was interesting to read through some of your postings.

- Jim

Sounds like you went through the exact same process as myself, in almost exactly the same time frame. Nice to know there are others out there like myself!
