Abortion is legal in my home country up until 24 weeks pregnancy. That is the same age that a baby that is born early can live if they get good medical care. I would never have an abortion but I respect other ladies decision if...

Tanya8 There is actually no law for or against, so hospitals determine policy, and the policy mirrors the laws of most other nations where abortion is legal. Abortion on demand is available in the first trimester and for medical reasons only in the second.

Tanya8 Awwww, Filmbuff, just as we were discovering we had so much in common :). Oh well, I'm still looking forward to discussing films and books with you. I'll let you know as soon as I've read one of your Heinlein recommendation.

This was a long discussion from early philosophers, and it is still an interesting debat. -Most atheists and materialists claim what is called monism: the person is just formed of what we can see/touch etc: the physical...

Tanya8 By the way, I loved the first part of your answer about chairs not making themselves in that other discussion I started :).

Tanya8 Hi Missak, I wish I had more time before I left. This issue is the one that is bringing us to a stale-mate in all our other discussions. I will try to address it in more depth when I get back. I look forward to seeing you again in August. Tanya

Tanya8 Hi Missak, Just quickly checking in, before I leave again for another 10 days. You would have to show evidence (not the circular kind :) ) that a soul exists in order to escape Occam's Razor. I hope you are well. Tanya

Tanya8 Hi Missak, I see things I'd like to respond to in your comments too, but I'm feeling overwhelmed by the number of exchanges we have going on all over the place. The reason I'm talking about God as intelligent, is that most people who believe in God, do...

Tanya8 Hi Missak, I hope you've been having a good summer. (I guess it's always like summer where you live.) I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this discussion. As I said earlier, I came on that one night, intending to keep going with the one we were having and got...

I hope this time more of you feel comfortable in my discussion. This is a game: you post your arguments against metaphysics, then I try to refutate them. Also I post my arguments in favour to metaphysics, then you try to refutate...

Tanya8 "In fact even with cars and chairs, you will find many people who haven't seen their making but still they believe others who tell them that they are made by human hands." I would say we believe, because it's not a far fetched claim. Most of us have...

It is very safe to make this statement: A great majority of people living in this earth somehow believe in the existence of God or Supreme Being! That nobody can dispute. Having known that, beliefs and/or relegions have been...

Tanya8 Hi Kamran, Yes, I'd love to discuss this more with you. I felt regret as soon as I'd hit "enter", because I knew that my comments weren't really appropriate in this discussion. Sometimes after a lot of reading on myLot, where my point of view is in the...

Tanya8 I don't want to talk you out of your beliefs nor do I think I could necessarily, but I just wanted to state the other side of the argument. With chairs and cars, you can watch people create them. With trees or people or the patterns carved in the land by...

Tanya8 Well, birth is weird for us too. We don't have some unique thought process that makes us take a non-logical approach to it. For me it was about how much torture I was willing to endure. When I first decided to have kids, I looked into what pain relief...
