Considering the chapter we just read on women and religion, what did you think about the section that talked about the RSV, the Revised Standard Version of the Bible? (pg. 276) Do you think its ok to…

Destiny or free will?

Katinka, I agree with you that in our life there are situations thrown at us which might be fate, but how we deal with those situations is free will. We cant decide what situations and challenges we…

I have always questioned whether our life is pre-destined, or if we have free. If we have free will, then we are responsible for all our actions, but is our life is pre-destined, our we still respons…

If you institute ANY law, you are taking away a woman's right to do otherwise with her body. That line "her right to CHOOSE for herself because it is HER body" was merely a political sound bite to gain support.

I was thinking we really can't help you unless we have been in the situation. So really the question should be directed perhaps to someone who has been pregnant and considered abortion or not -- talk to at least one person from each side of the deci…

Molly, I think young girls are in an impossible situation when they get pregnant. Our society tells them that it is not ok to be pregnant, and it is totally looked down upon, but yet if you get an abortion than that is horrible! what are they suppos…

Cally, I totally agree with you, and I really respect how you wrote your blog. I think its important to keep our minds open to other peoples experiences and situations, and that there is not just one answer to everything.

Laili Dalloul commented on Cally Grissom's blog post 'Phil 214 #3'
Cally, I think that there should be more support groups, and more support for women that are going through this. It is very taboo in our society for a young girl to get pregnant, and I think if it was more accepted then we wouldnt have so many terri…

The subject threw me, as well. I expected a debate on Darwin, myself. Despite the initial response, it was interesting. Difficult as the subject is center of such a heated debate. However, this was a safe place to have the conversation as you said.

Yes adoption is a very viable option, I cant totally see where you are coming from. I think one reason that option is not used by teens, is the idea of having to tell your parents that you are pregnant. Your parents think that you are this perfect k…

Phy 214 final thoughts

Abortion is such a hard topic to discuss, and so I found it very difficult to read different peoples posts without getting heated. I am religious, and I do agree that abortion is not the best idea. On the other hand, I can see why people get abortions. I really see myself in the middle, not taking either side. If you take abortion away, you are taking away a womens decision about her own life that she be made by her, not others. But, on the other hand, many more babies would live, even if they a… Continue

I feel like it is a very personal subject, and to talk about it on Open Source was very difficult. It was nice to hear other peoples' ideas and thoughts around it, and I think its important to have a safe and open minded place to be able to talk about such issues. I lea… Continue

Human Origins Post 2 phy 214

I think technology has effected abortion more than we think.
In the media, there is so much pressure to look "hot" and "sexy". In movies, and on TV, there is now so much sex. Not only is it teaching kids that it is ok and normal to have sex with a variety of different people, it is also showing that when you have sex..nothing usually happens. In movies you see people having sex all the time without the women getting pregnant, and that is totally not the case with most people. Most people get pre… Continue

Abortion. Wow, what a heavy and intense chapter for our last discussion.
I do think that every human is born with a soul, and that we gain that soul at conception. But Im never sure about whether abortion is "right" or "wrong". I do not think it is so black and white, its neither right all the time, nor wrong all the time. Is it ok to have an abortion if you know that the child is going to go through a very tough and challenging life? Or if you know that the child is going to be disabled or have… Continue

Jeff, I must ask myself why, as you say, people are worshiping science. Can they not find frameworks, mystery, hope and challenge in spirituality? Fortunately, it is not necessary that everyone descend into extreme addiction (vice) to develop profo…

Given these "problems" with the Bible, if the God of the Bible is the God of reality (as I believe He is), I do not wonder at all about His reasons for bringing forth the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is the anchor of my faith in Jesus Christ.…

Then, if there is a god of reality, of whatever form reality is, that god would have to reveal himself to us, before we can know of him. Otherwise, why bother trying to define or redefine God? What purpose does defining for redefining God serve? Let…
