Is a zygote a human? In the Bible the OT Hebrew god threatened his people with causing miscarriages. Is the LORD an abortionist?

The Bible wasn't written by "God" nor was it handed down to anybody like the Qur'an was. Some guy wrote the above.

A human what? A human being/person? No.

He's much worse than that: "The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."

The Old Testament is a wreck. Maybe that's why Jesus tried to set the record straight?

He's a tyrant, but I could see why some people would find that all powerful father protector appealing. I have no interest in serving a tyrant however.

Set the record straight? You sure?:

Matthew 5-17: Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

Some guy wrote all of the Bible and all of the Qu'ran and all of the Torah and all of every supposed "holy book". It's all the work of delusional men writing delusional ideas about imaginary gods.

I thought you figured that out by now.

Isn’t Zygote the mystical land where socks travel to when you place them in the dryer?
Or maybe it was the land Smeagol was from.

So Jihad Joe I take it this is just another “Look how evil they are” thread?

I thought this was the "abortion" page. Looks like we are all in agreement on the invalidity of claiming that the Bible supports the opinions of anti-choicer wingnuts, Crusader Cherokee.

There can be no return to democracy in a nation that has abandoned the line between church and state to become a nation that abides religion-based, unprovoked war, i.e., not without an ideological revolution and a return to the natural philosophy which gave democracy birth. America has ultimately only one choice, to get intelligent and to get real... about our values, our beliefs and ideologies and our operational policies in a global world.

The OT is not a "wreck". It was written a very long time ago by a group of warlike nomads. It is par for the course (for that time).
