When Alabama’s Supreme Court defined frozen embryos as children, the shock and confusion was immediate. Major hospitals pulled fertility services and would-be parents scrambled for clarity on what would happen next.
The debate over reproductive rights in America has long been driven, in part, by opposition to abortion from Christian groups - but this ruling has divided that movement and ignited debate about the role of theology in US lawmaking.
What I like is the image of God. What I don’t like is the work of Satan.
You sure? In the whole bible Satan kills 10 people in total, because God tells him to, and even Satan is having second thoughts about doing Job so dirty, meanwhile God makes his arrows drunk with blood.
Oh I know, my favorite old testament law: If you neighbour strives against you and is raining blows down upon you; if your wife grabs him by the genitals to delivery you from your assailant you must cut off her hand. Show no mercy. < is that the image of god you like?
You guys need to recognize sarcasm. I was speaking for the judge from the OP.
For a moment, I thought you were saying that the Bible verse about cutting off your wife’s hand because she pulled your attacker off of you by his nuts was sarcasm.
Now I’m picturing God standing there after the woman’s hand got cut off,
“Crap, bro, don’t you recognize SARCASM?”. Shit. I thought you’d know I didn’t want you to cut her hand off. That’s crazy! Dude, you were getting your ass kicked. I mean, it’s a little suspicious that of all the ways she could grab him she went for the balls, but you can’t deny it was effective."
Fair enough, it aint easy sometimes

Setting aside the fact neither exist… in popular mythology, god is generally responsible for far more atrocities such as genocide, plagues, etc. Satan or the devil on the other hand is largely a scapegoat created by god to blame for the evil he creates in the world.
Mythology is some crazy stuff
