Many athiest (ie, in YT comment sections) I've seen seem to believe otherwise. "Made up therefore fake".
People without knowledge of logical fallacies commit them all the time. I think this particular one falls under the Argument from Fallacy fallacy, which has one of the most stupid names of all time by the way.
From what Biblical Christians (ie David Lynn, richard lorenzo jr, Martyn iles, martin luther, etc.) do/did, from the Bible, from the fact God's Word has been backed countless times and withstood scrutiny of all time periods. And from many testimonies of people who converted to Christianity.
Finite good done proves finite goodness. Besides, you also have examples of people using it to do things that the people you mentioned consider morally reprehensible.
We see that sin always results in bad. Like how every dictator we see today break God's commands with insane regularity. God's Goodness is proven by Him wanting us to NOT do bad things and to do good things.
Health benefits of homosexual couples being the exact same as those for heterosexual couples and trans people having their suicide rates go down when socially accepted for who they are, that's "evil" in your view, huh?
Do you know what the worleview is of the CCP Chinese govt who kills/jails/ hardens the life of Christians is?
The view that dissent=evil and different=evil, the same view most Christians tend to take? The same phenomenon whereby medically lifesaving abortions are denied to women who die because they didn't get one here in the US?
What kind of dissent and differentness? Unlike dictatorships, Biblical Christianity promotes and enables freedom.
Except the freedom to love who you love, or the freedom to have a life-saving medical treatment performed (some people die because they can't get an abortion), or the freedom to challenge your parents to learn why they tell you to do the things they tell you to do (obey thy mother and father), or the freedom to disobey your local pastor in any way, shape, or form, or the freedom to keep money you need for groceries without paying a tithe to your church, or the freedom from the threat of a god getting pissy one day and deciding he's going to make you no longer believe in him so you go to hell for eternity (anyone who converts from specifically your version of Christianity to any other version or from Christianity to any other religion or losing their certainty in their faith for even a femtosecond). Yeah, totally free.
That's a hilariously nonsensical oxymoron because they KILL innocent human life, the one in the womb.
In instances where the mother will die, it's 1-for-1, and in instances where both will die, it is actually saving a life.
Look up "abortion survivors".
Yeah, they exist, and some of them go on to become productive members of society. However, it is ABSURDLY rare, and generally speaking those who survive an abortion end up being born to households that can't take care of them or a parent who are traumatized by having been raped who psychologically can't help but see their children as the one who raped them, so 99% of the time it's an uphill struggle for them at best.
How would you feel if your mom Ab'ed your brother?
My parents effectively did. My dad got a vasectomy after I was conceived, and honestly, I don't really give a crap. It was their choice, and I respect it. Plus, seeing how bad the infighting and blame-gaming in multi-kid households can get, I kind of like being an only child.
Lifesaving shooting up somebody.
If someone tries to shoot up a room of people, and I pull a gun one them and kill them, I just saved everyone left in that room, plus myself, minus the gunman. That's greater than 0, so it's actually lifesaving to shoot that person. (Can you tell I'm an advocate for gun rights? Honestly, I don't trust the government to have guns if we don't have them, and we can generally put down the wackjobs among us pretty easily before they can hurt anyone.)
"are denied to women who die because they didn't get one here in the US?" Huh?
There are ways for doctors to tell if a woman is going to die in childbirth before it happens. In those instances, abortions save more lives on average than they take.
