Well yeah but that goes back to my point. A person who needs scripture to tell him is wrong to murder and rape is just a sociopath on a leash
It really just comes down to empathy. I don't want to be murdered or raped so I'm not going to murder or rape someone.
A friend of mine on Facebook who is Christian told me that if he really believed there was no God he would be running around just going crazy and doing whatever but I don't think he really would. Because I think he's probably a good person anyway and wouldn't do that
I know I mentioned this earlier but there is evidence that suggests that empathy may be a product of mirror neurons

your claim to be a teacher is disturbing when coupled with your lack of knowledge of basic genetics. It is common knowledge that while identical twins share identical genes they are not identical, most genetic traits don't replicate themselves in identical twins, its called a concordance factor
Eye color in identical twins as a concordance of 98%, not 100% Meaning for every 100 sets of identical twins two of those sets will have twins with different eye color.
Left handed has a concordance of 80%
Ankylosing spondylitis 63%
Type 1 diabetes is 32%
Rheumatoid arthritis 12%
Myasthenia gravis 40%
Multiple sclerosis 30%
The concordance rate of homosexuality in identical twins is between 55 and 65% This is a very high number

Well I don't really want to derail the thread because it's post wasn't about abortions but the reason you see more abortions in African-American communities is doing a poverty and the reason you see more poverty in African American communities is systemic racism that goes all the way back to slavery and Jim Crow

Abuse? I see pampered.
As for youth. All youth have bullies in school. They probably get picked on because healthy thinking kids probably find it weird or funny. Kids can be mean and it doesn't help if you a dude wearing a dress.
Best thing is to get them therapy and teach against bullying at the same time.
Ex trans who have gone through sex change surgery often share the same testimony. The surgery did not fix what was wrong in the mind and often increased the thought of suicide.

you have said that same sex marriage is wrong because they can't have children and you have said so many times but you have also denied that this should be applied to straight couples....special pleading
and it also says hat these risks stem form social inequities not their orientation.
- according to the data set this Marr accessed, he office of National Statistics in 2019 there were 108421 divorces in England, almost exactly half the number of marriages. On the 108421 divorces 822 were between same sex couples. So of all the divorces that year 0.75% were same sex divorce. so you just demonstrated that England has an even lower rate of same sex Divorce than the United States and that your claim: "Homosexual divorce rates are extremely high" is just not true.
and it also says hat these risks stem form social inequities not their orientation.
because they have less to fear about being honest not because there are more of them.
according to the National Bullying Prevention Center the rate LGBT youth experience bullying varies widely from region to region. in the most conservative areas LGBT students who are out or outed on average experience 3 -4 physical assaults per per week while in school. On average they receive 45 verbal attacks per week while in school. on average they receive 7 death threats during their high school career. HO\ow many times did you get a death threat in high school?

Well Jordan Peterson sure put an end to Sam's faulty argument.....
``I don't know why you would expect to be sure about what someone believes, how do you think that any one of you are capable of fully articulating what you believe, you certainly know it's completely ridiculous
you're not transparent to yourself by any stretch of the imagination......... you act out all sorts of things that you can't
articulate but how about a best-guess, let's go all cognitive neuroscience on this shall we, ninety-nine percent of your processing
is unconscious, you're not capable of articulating, if you were you'd be omniscient don't give me any
nonsense about that okay.
And Harris seems quite confused what is science and what is philosophy.
Harris: Well, I actually think that the frontier between science and philosophy actually doesn’t exist… Philosophy is the womb of the sciences. The moment something becomes experimentally tractable, then the sciences bud off from philosophy. And every science has philosophy built into it. So there is no partition in my mind. (Oxford Talk)
So back to square one... his moral landscape does not come from science.

your reference here is a "survey conducted through gay dating sites" 
just think about that for a minute...
I wonder what surveying a straight dating sight would tell us about monogamy in heterosexual relationships..

Why don't we have an "Evasive" and a "dodge and weave" emoji. You know when they keep telling you over and over that you are just too stupid to understand that it they have no response.
So far we have you misquoting your sources, saying 0.3% when the study said 3.1%, and also using misleading answers. 5x more black women have abortions than white women but instead you tell us where Planned Parenthood has their offices. And now you have been asked 3 times to explain to us how the theory of evolution (survival of the fittest) would explain a homosexual gene.

This is what the article says
“This much is true: In the United States, the abortion rate for black women is almost five times that for white women.”
“Black women are not alone in having disproportionately high unintended pregnancy and abortion rates. The abortion rate among Hispanic women, for example, although not as high as the rate among black women, is double the rate among whites”
So what is your point, that the article is saying the "rate"? Since there are more white women than black women their rate can be 1/5th that of blacks and yet the total number may be more.
Please tell me that is not your point because I do not want to use the word idiot in my response.
