Originally posted by FMFYes but so is spray painting a swastika on a Jewish temple, is that therefore the same thing as lynching a man after a Sunday service? If not then your comparison with the right to self determination and lynchings makes no sense. Simply both being morally reprehensible is neither here nor there. Is it?
I am saying that they are both morally reprehensible actions ~ the JW child sacrifice certainly being rooted in religious conviction ~ and the lynchings apparently/possibly rooted in religious conviction. That they are both morally reprehensible actions is the commonality, not the details of the unnecessary death involved.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieNo they are not "the same". Religiously motivated JW child sacrifice and religiously motivated lynchings have two things in common [1] they are morally reprehensible and [2] they result in deaths. Spray painting a swastika on a Jewish temple qualifies for [1].

Originally posted by FMFIf they are not the same then the comparison is not justified. Being morally reprehensible is neither here nor there and resulting in death is neither here nor there, suicide results in death its not the same as murder, is it.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThe deaths resulting from lynchings and JW child sacrifices are not accidents. Aeroplane crashes aren't caused by religious convictions nor ~ usually ~ by morally reprehensible actions.
Innocent people die in aeroplane crashes its not the same as lynching a man on Sunday afternoons or someone dying by refusing an intravenous blood transfusion.
Originally posted by Proper KnobThis thread was deliberately derailed by dweebjeester when he spitefully attempted to make a comparison between the moral reprehensibility of refusing intravenous blood transfusions and attempting to state that I should shut up about Christians lynching people on Sunday afternoons on that basis. If you want to blame anyone, i suggest you blame him.
It doesn't matter. You're just trolling aren't you?
Originally posted by FMFWhat about deaths resulting from intravenous blood transfusions, are they morally reprehensible the same as lynching a man on Sunday is morally reprehensible?
