Religions are very complex things, simplistic black-and-white thinking and generalizing about them doesn't really help anything at all, nor does it promote anything beneficial to humanity, it just empowers fundamentalists by supporting their ignorant simplistic black-and-white thinking about religion and science.
Please show me evidence that a plurality of catholic nuns want legalized abortion. Otherwise I will continue to assume they don't that via basic common sense, current catholic theology, experience, and history.
Catholic nuns in particular, BTW, are somewhat infamous for butting heads with power structures both in and outside the Church, from a progressive standpoint--birth control, sex work, women's rights, and GLBT rights are a handful of issues that have been known to come up. It seems to come from working directly with the affected people on the ground.
And of course many nuns do the same thing and remain staunchly conservative. People are people.
But if you think that you can accurately pigeonhole anyone with different beliefs than yours into a narrow little box, you're no better than the bogeyman you're fighting.
Your point is irrelevant to the discussion but I'm curious. Do you have a source for this? Greg Pincus' Wikipedia entry says absolutely nothing about his religious affiliation.
Right. If it was relevant, it might call your closely-held stereotypes into question. That seems ironic.
Also: John Rock, co-inventor of the Pill, along with Pincus and Chang. Interesting, and unfortunately Quixotic, character. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rock_(American_scientist) My apologies, I should have said "co-inventor."
I am tempted to say that the horrors that Mother Teresa inflicted in her clinics would also qualify as terrorism, but that's probably more open to interpretation (well, the horrors are not open to interpretation, whether it should be called terrorism can arguably be).
Can you point to any teachings or statements by the Catholic Church today that condone terrorism and violence?
Not exactly a stand up example of moral behavior, it's no wonder some of its followers feel entitled to do the same.
I asked you about the Catholic Church and you tell me about the Bible. You are free to argue that the Catholic Church is hypocritical and misinterpreting the Bible when they condemn murder, but that wasn't the question.
Someone clearly is unfamiliar, though I think you should by pointing to yourself rather than others.
