Libfas, please explain your ethics

1.  Why is it wrong to kill a violent criminal but okay to kill an innocent fetus?  I'm not particularly opposed to abortions, but it makes no sense that you rail against capital punishment while endorsing abortion.

2.  Why do you despise Christianity but tell everyone else that their religions are beautiful and are to be respected?  I don't understand how you can extol the greatness of science and education while while telling everyone (other than Christians) that their baseless beliefs should be protected.  I'm generally opposed to religion, so I say if you're going to hate one of them, hate all of them.

3.  Why is it wrong from conservatives to go on fear mongering about terrorism but it's okay for you to tell everyone the world is going to end because of global warming?  Whether or not you believe in either of these supposed threats it's clear that both sides are using fear to manipulate people.  Why not take the higher road if you're so educated and ethical?

4.  Why do you like Mac so much?

5.  Why do you believe the federal government can fix all of society's ills when it can barely deliver the mail?  It has been proven throughout history that large central governments lead to corruption and abuse.  Why do you continue to support big government?

I don't know what a "Libfas" is, but I'll attempt to deal with some of these questions:

Why is it wrong to kill a violent criminal but okay to kill an innocent fetus?  I'm not particularly opposed to abortions, but it makes no sense that you rail against capital punishment while endorsing abortion.

It can't be too difficult to consider the viewpoint that a violent criminal is still a thinking person seized of civil rights, and that a fetus is not yet a person (hence has no rights at all).

The person posting these questions obvious has a cognitive logjam or sorts, in that he assumed something was true and then was unable to see past the assumption in order to understand the viewpoints of others.

In other words, he was a Conservative.  Conservatives don't CARE about the views of other people, and they do not try to empathize with others in order to understand other ways of living.
