Moral Question

[pyranima]

I had to deal with these issues on a very real level as an Atheist and i had to find answers that didn't involve God. There is a natural law that God created but that can be known outside of God. anotherwords, you can know there is a natural law and you can know what it is, however the problem becomes you cant know where the natural law came from without God. as an amature Moral Philosopher, and an ex-moral atheist i am able to bring a lot of what i believed as an atheist into the Church with me. it is true that i need to leave some things behind (Like the whole Nietzsche 'God is dead' thing) but as C.S. Lewis says when you are a Christian you do not need to assume that nonChristians are wrong about everything, however where their is a disagreement you must assume they are wrong. this is one of those very hard questions for both Atheists and Christians, the natural reaction of everyone on both sides is to resort to emotion because that is the easiest way to answer a difficult question. while i believe that the death of a child in the womb is sometimes permissable, i believe that it is better to not allow the action to occure at all due to the extreme danger it presents to the rest of the world. this is where we need a logical senseable society, while it is true that i would argue against letting the procedure happen under any circumstances i would concede in the most extreme circumstances (the mother allergic to the pregnacy). this seems like double talk to most but if you think about it, it makes sense. to prevent it from being abused and going to far you agrue against it in all circumstance but you concede when needed to save a life. in the best case a child would be removed from the mothers womb and implanted into an artificial womb.
it is natural and good you feel the way you do it prevents you from wanting to go to far. however we need to be careful not to go too far in the other direction which is where our reason comes in, we need to balance the two and we need to always look at our emotion through the eyes of reason. this is why we have marriage between a man and a woman. men tend to be more logical while women tend to be more emotional i believe this is why God chose men to be the head of the family. women nurture and men defend we all have our roles.
