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?

1. There's a chance that capital punishment is taking an innocent, sentient life. With abortions before twenty weeks into the pregnancy, there's no chance of that, because its brain and nervous system have yet to be developed enough for it to happen. Furthermore, restricting legal abortions will just lead most women to get back-alley abortions, thereby not saving any fetuses' lives and causing quite a few more unnecessary injuries and deaths of pregnant women. Furthermore, anyone who trusts any government with the power of life and death over its citizens is asking for trouble.

2. I hate all religions equally.

3. Because, unlike terrorism, there are accredited, peer-reviewed scientists claiming that global warming is a threat to everyone's way of life, whereas terrorism affects only thousands of us each year at most. However , I actually do care about terrorism quite a bit, and it has also been established that the policies our government is pursuing in an attempt to curb it are failing miserably.

4. I don't really give a shit about the stupid operating system debate actually, but Windows *is* buggy as all get-out.

5. I don't support big government. My ideal government at this stage in time would educate, provide health care to its citizens, protect its citizens from external and internal threats, prosecute corporate fraud ruthlessly, and provide unemployment benefits. That's all. Compared to the borderline theocracy a lot of conservatives want to implement, that's a small government. And it's only "large government" in comparison to what most libertarians envision if one disregards corporations, which would under their system continue their trend of becoming even larger than most governments, so that (as of the most recent figures I've obtained) fifty-one of the world's hundred largest economies are corporations.
