Oh look, the person who is such a pretentious fuck that he alienates even those who might agree with him is sticking to his script. Santara is my IRL brother, so I know his motivations with regard to abortion. I don't agree with his position on it, but I can tell you it isn't religiously motivated.
bullshit. if there was a legitimate, non-religiously inspired reason, you (or him) would have just said it. that's how arguments work, would be a perfect mic drop opportunity actually. just proclaiming "
nuh uh, there totally is one, we're just not telling, but it totally has nothing to do with religion", when the whole debate is full of weird religious sentiments, the overwhelming majority of radical anti-choicers are religious nutjobs, and the person in question is someone who pretends to value "small government" and "freedom" so much, is simply not cutting it.
that's kindergarten level dodging. of course i can already anticipate the lazy / dishonest man's reply of "
we just wont tell YOU because we're so mad / don't care if you believe it or not", but i guess that even you are smart enough to realise how transparent of a cop out that is, so consider this an inb4.
that said, your brother already gave the game away in the gun debate, suggesting it was a "divine right" to own firearms, so please spare me the "not religious" angle. just because someone doesn't go to church regularly, just because they don't make prayers a part of their daily routine, doesn't mean they can't be religious nutjobs.
