I'm really not going to debate theodicy with you, especially since I'm not even a believer. Legolas Send a noteboard - 26/10/2012 12:24:57 AM
I merely wanted to make the point - as Cornyn did - that IF you believe that God "intends" for a very much wanted baby to be born in a loving family, then you cannot but accept that God must also "intend" for the unwanted babies conceived through rape to be born. If you don't, well, then it's a different story; but you seem to agree with me in your reply that Mourdock's comment is not problematic, except to the extent that it conveys his belief in a God who has a real influence on some things that happen in life. There's no reason for people sharing that belief to take umbrage at what he said.
