Is there anything more weak-minded and meaningless than having "faith"?

It isn't what people believe and why that matters, the problem comes when they use irrational beliefs as a basis for what the law should be and impose it on the rest of us.
Look at people like Ann Widdecombe and her Pro Life views. Because of an idea, based on no evidence at all, that we have a soul from conception they want to stop women making their own choices on early abortion or the rest being able to choose when we want to end our lives. The basis of these laws should be the fundamental one that we should have a right to control our own lives and the details of them should be decided on practical issues.bloggoth

What's a soul got to do with it? Most pro-life arguments I hear focus on the "it's alive" argument not "it's got a soul". There are many pro-life atheists and no doubt quite a few medical professionals, I don't think it's fair to say that abortion is argued for only by reasonable people and against by irrationals. It's far too complex a topic to draw huge generalisations (and I don't personally have a strong view either way).Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
