      Preaching is the assumption others want to hear about your religion. It’s a bit like being a Magic the Gathering Fan boy. You’re going to tell everyone about it even though their eyes are glazed over and they have tried to change the subject 3 times in the past 5 minutes. Live a life that makes people go, hey why are you so kind and generous and loving I want to know about that, then answer their questions, otherwise you’re just another boring fanboi prattling on.

      It’s everything to do with religion. They have those beliefs for a reason. Religion is the source. The belief itself is a problem.

          The problem with religion is that it’s not objective. You can’t argue that they’re wrong if they’re invoking a passage that requires interpretation. And if they believe god is supporting them in their journey, which again can’t be refuted, there is not much you can say to stop them.

              You are inherently wrong, as clearly there are quite a few christians who disagree with you. I’d wager most. No amount of no true scotsman will get around the fact that this is an ideology perpetuated by christianity, wether you agree with how the people are going about it or not.

              I mean I only need to point out the division between the church and theology🤷‍♀️

                  Then please present why the bible is objectively not against abortion.

                  Your insistence that christianity is not open to interpretation on this issue is objectively wrong, as clearly there are others who do not interpret as you do. You cannot argue against this.

                  If this is genuinely objectively not what the bible is teaching, then christianity as a whole is a sham, because that is the prevalent teaching in christian spaces. You and your peers should probably break off and form your own flavour, as the majority of christians will not back you in this matter, including the actual institutions who claim to teach the word of god. Your insistence is that the prevalent interpretation is wrong. Think about it. Even if that is true, if the wrong teaching is prevalently being taught in christianity, then it is still a fault of christianity.
