1) is killing "what" against the Law ? Cows ? and is killing always against the Law - the killing of a Person
and this gets into a whole debate about whether or not a person exists .. which brings us to the soul.
Why would the soul arrive at conception ? -- cause the Pope said so ? Justify your claim - give some support .. other than "Pastor Bob Told me so"
A) where did the soul come from prior to entering the fleshy abode it will inhabit
B) where will the soul go after ?
C) and when in heaven - and are finished enough hail Mary's .. suppose you want to take a vacation - the rule being - you won't remember your past life .. while you are down living another life .. on another planet. Where would you go ?
And when you blank out .. prior to entering this new fleshy place - when do you think is the best time to enter the game ...
Sentience Perhaps ? ahhh .. hmmm makes sense .. "I think therefor I am" .. prior to this point .. there is no possibility of cognition because the apparatus is not yet in place.
This is also a bad entry point because the chances are not real great that the zygote will result in a born human.. the odds get much better after implantation ...
There are valid perspectives other than yours - The question of when human life can be said to exist .. and to begin has 5 different scientific perspectives.. Metabolic, Genetic, Embryological, Neurological, Ecological .. only one puts the soul at conception .. well not exactly but it claims that something that can be called "Human life" exists" ... a single human cell .. this does not mean a "Living Human" exists.. have to cross a higher bar for that one.
Yeah .. you havn't done your homework on this one .. and Pastor Bob is 1) Biased and 2) not a subject matter expert
Yes .. God made a Law stating that if some in a town start worshiping other Gods ... everyone in the town is to be slaughtered .. which includes babies and fetuses of course.
That law is still there .. you can look it up in the Bible in Deut 13 .. God's Law - Should we not be following it ?
