I've always thought this a strange argument. Knowing how we feel the most positive of emotions means they're not real? Very odd. Does this mean that a beautiful vista stops being beautiful if we know our eyes work?https://twitter.com/ctlansdown/status/1004328190180020224 …
Yeah. Don't make your love conditional on what you think a god wants you to feel about your children. You know your love is real & powerful & strong but ppl have killed & abandoned loved ones due to religious zealotry before. Don't let it poison what is real.

You should really learn some history before spouting off in public. People have killed their own children in truly enormous quantities for entirely secular reasons.
-
Try to remain civil. Yes. Don't do that either. The fact that people have killed children for non-religious reasons does not change the point that it would be a bad idea to make your love & duty of care to your child dependent on what you believed a god wanted you to do with it.

If you want me to remain civil, then don't slander religion in public in egregiously ignorant or dishonest ways.
-
I will just go away if you can't remain civil if people say things you don't like about religion.

Are you under the misimpression that I want to converse with you? I don't respect you or like you or care what you think. I was answering your questions out of a sense of duty. Please feel very free to get out of my mentions, random person who intruded into them uninvited.

The point isn't a love that is conditional, but inherent not only to our individual nature but to the ultimate nature of reality.
-
I really wouldn't do that either. If the ultimate nature of reality is indifferent to your baby, which seems very likely, this doesn't mean you should be.

I gave up nihilism and despair for Lent. :)
