Planned Parenthood Aids Pimp’s Underage Sex Ring

Planned Parenting was caught covering up the statutory rape of underage girls and enabling sexual abusers. Well, now Planned Parenting wants to "help out" Pimps also.


Caught on Tape: Planned Parenthood Aids Pimp’s Underage Sex Ring

NEW JERSEY – February 1, 2011– A Planned Parenthood manager in New Jersey coaches a man and a woman posing as sex traffickers how to secure secret abortions, STD testing, and contraception for their female underage sex slaves, and make their whole operation “look as legit as possible” in an undercover video released this morning.



Clinic manager Amy Woodruff, LPN, of Planned Parenthood Central New Jersey’s Perth Amboy center, warns the pimp and his prostitute to have their trafficked underage girls lie about their age to avoid mandatory reporting laws, promising, “even if they lie, just say, ‘Oh he's the same age as me, 15,’…it's just that mainly 14 and under we have to, doesn't matter if their partner's the same age, younger, whatever, 14 and under we have to report.” She says, “For the most part, we want as little information as possible.”...(Read More)

Laws broken or manipulated:

1. Sexual Abuse Cover up
2. Aiding and abetting statutory rape
3. Aiding and abetting minor prostitution
4. Aiding and abetting human trafficking
5. RICO/conspiracy/racketeering

Jill Stanek adds, "Woodruff coaches the pair on how to have the younger girls lie about their age. She gives them the name of a mill that is apparently schlockier than hers,  Metropolitan Medical Associates, that will do abortions with fewer questions asked.

The most awful part of the video, IMO, is Woodruff’s cavalier business advice when asked what can the girls do during the 2 weeks after their abortion when they can’t have sex?

Woodruff: Yeah, um, waist up.

Pimp: Waist up?

Woodruff: Waist up, or just be that extra action walking by. Because then they’re at more risk for infection, and you don’t want to do that….

Waist up”? That line will live in infamy."

I guess that is what the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL), Kermit Gosnell, Oprah Winfrey, and many Atheists here meant when they promote "choice", the choices to aid Pimps to traffic sex of the underage. Y'all should be ashamed of yourself for opening this Pandora's box of evil.

Maybe the new pro-life led Congress will finally investigate Planned Parenthood. I know we will not stop until they do.

"We are calling on Congress to immediately freeze all funding of Planned Parenthood. We request [demand] that the Department of Justice and FBI launch a full-scale investigation of Planned Parenthood and prosecute the aiding and abetting of human trafficking.

We are also calling on state authorities to immediately revoke the licenses of all Planned Parenthood clinics found covering up sex abuse." ~Lila Rose

Update 02/02/11: Apparently PP was aware of this tactic and, to cover themselves, filed a report to the FBI. In fact it appears that PP was tipped off by someone because of what was said back in December. So a cover up ensued.

""In December, Live Action announced that it was preparing to launch several major new investigations during 2011 and said it had received a $125,000 gift to finance the operations. It did not identify the source of that gift." ~WSJ

Only God knows who leaked the information to PP. I think the behavior of the managers were absolutely wrong, much as the same as ACORN, PP should be shut down. Its one thing to "go along" but to give these people "get around" instructions is absolutely unacceptable. Also, these employees were way to well versed in these "get arounds" to be a first time for them. Like the Police and Chris Hansen's "To Catch a Predator" these people posed to be someone to catch the responses from PP. Is that wrong? Time will tell, but I sure am hopeful. The fruit will show if it was guided by God. () These evil people at PP better not be working for PP anymore and arrested and be put on trial. But just saying there just needs to be a cleaning of the house at Planned Parenthood is like saying al-Qaeda just needs better management!We MUST expose the practices of this evil organization and its workers. They will probably settle out of court to avoid a trial. I have a better idea, close PP and stop their funding, you know, to be safe. I have even a better idea, if a program receives federal funding, Like ACORN, AIG, Goldman Sacs, and Planned Parenthood then when sued, or prosecuted, there CANNOT be a "settling" pr "plea" to avoid trial. Its not their money to "pay off" to avoid trial embarrassment anyway. Either way, they must be tried, so we have records of the publicly funded entities. Maybe that legislation will be the good fruit from all of this.

    Except that choice entails an awareness of the options and the implications thereof, Dan. Or is choice, like free will and certain knowledge, another concept you find difficult to grasp?

    Do you suppose Catholic parents chose to have their children subjected to abuse when they sent them off for a good Catholic education? I doubt it.

  3. Also, consent to a specific action - eg: a woman's choice to have an abortion - does not, in and of itself, imply consent to any other action, eg: the clinic where the abortion was obtained aiding and abetting child rape.

    To claim otherwise is kind of like claiming that consent to kissing means consent to sex - and I'm pretty sure that argument has been used to aquit many a rapist.

  4. Dan, You are always do quick to assume the info you hear that supports you beliefs/opinions is correct. I too caught wind of this video late last night. Fortunately I did not stop there, but will continue to look into it further, to make sure all the info I gather is correct.

    The first thing that made me suspicious was that the video does not support the claim that Planned Parenthood (PPH) supported a sex ring. The only thing I saw in the video was a highly edited series of comments of one employee of the PPH clinic. Though she did make those comments, I too would have done my best to represent what PPH does, no matter who I'm speaking to, and later report any illegal activity I am made aware of to the proper authorities later. It would not be my job to do any more. Being an uncomfortable situation I'm not surprised she was as friendly to the man as possible, and tried to treat him like she would anyone else.

    My preliminary investigation of this did show that this employee did report the Sex Trafficking to the FBI, and requested an investigation. So, PPH and the employee did as they should have, and the employee had clearly explain to the man in the video.

    Another detail that I'd also like to mention is that one of the people involved in the creation of the highly edited video was James O'Keefe, a convicted criminal that repeatedly lied about his heavily edited ACORN videos.

    Here is a link for you reading pleasure Dan.

    http://mediamatters.org/blog/201102010014

    Dan, even if the the claims about this event were true, It would only show that an employee of PPH did not act on this information appropriately. That PPH or the organization in a whole would not be responsible for anymore than a bad choice in staff.

    Its not like some religious organization that preach dogma that brings harm and death to children. I am friends with a doctor who has written several papers on the mortality rate of children in these very large religious sects in America that choose religious dogma over proper medical care for their children.

    Also, there is alway the killing of women and children we have often pointed out to you that your god did/ordered with the Canaanites.

    You never disappoint me Dan!

  5. Even if Dan's source and interpretation were accurate, it's still a stretch to claim that there is some kind of causal link between provision of abortion and child sex trafficking. This seems to be typical of the dishonest scare tactics employed by anti-choice extremists.

    It would be kind of like me claiming that there's a causal link between Catholicism and child rape, but even I know that's crap. Sure, I think the celibacy rule for clergy can result in some weirdness, just as repressing any urge can lead to it being expressed in destructive ways; and certainly the church hierarchy is culpable for its efforts to cover up the situation and relocate known offenders. But to imply that Catholicism in and of itself causes child rape would be ridiculous.

    But then, we know Dan has no qualms about being ridiculous.

    >>But to imply that Catholicism in and of itself causes child rape would be ridiculous.

    You do understand the RCC did cover up, protect, aided and abetted those evil pedophile priests. They relocated them instead of turned them over for incarceration. They are criminal in their behavior, and so is PP. Shame on you DD, my respect for you is now waning.

  8. Dan, thanks for ignoring my post.

    DormantDragon, excellent point! Dan also forgets that they also provide many other services to the community. PPH 'receives federal funding to provide family planning services, annual exams, cancer screenings, contraception visits and testing and treatments for sexually transmitted infections'.

    I also enjoy how he seems to appreciate groups who is not interested in making changes through intelligent arguments. Instead they have said they were on a mission use smear champaign and stirring up controversy to take down Planned Parenthood.

    When Dan and his hooligans cannot sum up evidence to support thier agenda and convince the public of the issue, making those people or institutions involved look bad for other reason than the point you want changed is how they operate.

    Dan, There have been several studies that show public record illustrating magnitude of children each year that died from not receiving proper medical care due to the practice of Christian dogma by many different denominations in America alone. I am friends with one of the doctors involved in one of those studies and it tears my heart out when helpless children die when the most basic medical attention would have saved them.

    Why do I never see people like you Dan put any effort in trying to save children who could easily be?

  9. Atomic Chimp,

    I never just ignore your posts, but I will answer them on my schedule not yours. :7)

    I must say that I have to agree with you, as much as I hate to.

    This link says it all.

    What you said also made me reflect on the Dover trial. Lying for gain will get you a loosing result. No matter how much I would love for PP to be shut down, this is not the way to do it. So with a big gulp, I thank you for that information. You got me.

  10. Dan, I've said it before, it takes a lot to respond like that. Though I try my best to be as brutally honest when I'm in the same position, I cannot say I can't be stubborn at times.

    Dan, keep in mind that the story isn't over. I'm still waiting to see if more develops. At minimum the Planned Parenthood needs to take action on those in their employment that are not acting appropriately, per policy, & might be misrepresent them too.

    Hey, if it counts for anything Dan, my girlfriend is very close to you on the opinion of abortion. Though we disagree, we too often have discussions about it that can be a learn opportunity for both of us.

    One more thing Dan, my comments & feelings about the Christian denominations who withhold care from children, have nothing to do with how I feel about Christians who do not practice those dogmas.

    Thanks again for you honesty Dan.

  14. Dan, as I said before, just like the 'To catch a predator' program, it only shows that one individuals actions are questionable. Just because one single employee is caught responding like this, does not reflect the polices or normal practices of the organization.

    Since there were many different attempt to do this hidden camera approach to many PPH, I'd expect a lot more videos of the same thing happening with many other employees if this was normal practice. I find there being only 1 highly edited video so not very convincing of anything other than PPH having chosen poorly with the hiring of this employee.

    Using your logic Dan I should be able to make the same blanket statement of other organizations based on one or a few peoples actions. Which brings us back to the Christian denominations I spoke of earlier. Though most would find the overpowering evidence of child mortality caused by these Christian practices only incriminating for those denominations. If I use your twisted/blanket logic, I should judge all of the Christian denominations in America for the deaths and thus have Christianity eliminated in America.

    Dan, to borrow a description from Frank Zappa, you are trying to cure a headache through decapitation.

    So quick to judge all based on one persons error Dan and we're not even sure if some of the dialog might be being taken out of context sue to James O'Keefe's heavy editing. I would suspect that editing was to manipulate the impression you get from what was said. Since they are refusing to provide the full footage and we already know about how O'keefe had done the same with the Acorn and repeatedly lied about the videos, I see no reason to trust anything being presented much less try to use it to take down an entire organization.

    Its appears to me to be an attempt to use controversy and sensationalism to do politics instead of evidence and intelligent arguments. If this is how you like to operate Dan, it very telling.

    So, in your mind, the defining feature of both is that they directly cause child rape. Gotcha.

    And...yes, thank you, I'm quite aware of the facts of the case. That doesn't mean Catholicism causes child rape. That was the point. The organisation is corrupt, not the faith itself (although I don't share it anymore, since like your beliefs, it is based on fabrication and obfuscation).

    Did you know that the New South Wales police force here in Australia was riddled with corruption, even up to the highest levels, back in the 1980s and '90s? Curiously enough, we still appear to have a police force. By your hysterical reasoning, we ought to have got rid of them by now.

    Shame on you DD, my respect for you is now waning.

    >>There's a whole lot of unsupported assumptions in that response.

    If God is right, how can He not be, and bad tree's cannot bear good fruit, then there is no way that PP is doing anything that is right, no matter how its being spun or perceived. I know many PR firms that can make horrible things done sound great in the end. Atomic Chimp almost did it on me even. With some knowledge and research, my reasoning was restored. PP has a good PR firm probably, that is all.

    I still demand that all this to goes to trial. If it doesn't we are spineless. Which we appear to be.

    If you want proof of that just read this headline:

  19. Dan I tried to do nothing on you. I just suggested that you stop your research as soon as you find something that confirms the opinion you already had.

    Well Dan seeing as to the fact that religion (Including Christianity) has proven to have been a bad tree producing lost of bad fruit through out past and recent history, it obviously cannot bear good fruit at all. So, off with their heads.

    Dan unless you or you hooligans can produce more evidence than a highly edited video of one employee not handling a situation per normal policy, you got nothing other than a bad employee. You can't just shout out you conspiticy assumption about PR cpmapies Dan, you need to show supporting evidence or you have nothing. Claims made without support can be dismissed without support.

    PPH provides many more services to the public than abortion. These services range form but are limited to provide family planning services, annual exams, cancer screenings, contraception visits and testing and treatments for sexually transmitted infections. So Dan, PPH provides a vital service to the public that many rely on.

    Still no comment about the countless child and infant deaths every year caused by Christian dogma? Dan these are children made to suffer over an extended period of time and eventually dying. Children that not one person will deny is a living breathing human individuals. How can you ignore this fact and just look the other way, yet your running in circles blabbing about PPH who does provide a service to the public and want to shut them down because you don't agree with the laws concerning abortion? Obviously you don't care about children if doing something to stop their deaths might shed a poor light on your belief system.

    Again Dan, using your logic, religion should be shutdown too. It has an ongoing history killing innocent people and children because of its dogma that goes back to it earliest days. Its book you say in inerrant preaches about killing such people and can and has inspired people to do so.

    Dan, you never cease to amaze me. I hope you can sleep well knowing children are suffering right now in the name of Christianity.

    Of course I'm not saying that the Catholic church is a vital organisation for society. But that wasn't my point.

    The fact is that, given the opportunity, unscrupulous people will exploit their position for personal gain (whether that's monetary gain or the gratification of personal desires). Their actions are not caused by the organisation of which they are a part. As it happens, most Catholics, in my experience, are essentially good, caring people who wouldn't dream of harming children. I certainly don't share their religious beliefs, and often think they'd be happier without them, but neither do I doubt their motivations.

    Your argument was that Planned Parenthood should be shut down because of unscrupulous employees of the organisation. Your argument was entirely ideological, because the fact is that you would like to see an end to abortion and contraception, and have merely used this incident as ammunition.

    However, in modern Western society, Planned Parenthood (and similar organisations such as the FPA in Australia) do provide a necessary service. It's all very well to leave procreation to chance...sorry, "in god's hands", but frankly, most thinking people prefer to be informed of their options when it comes to deciding when and whether to have children.

    As an aside, I have to say I'm always struck by the irony of protestant evangelicals condemning the Catholic church. I mean, if it makes you feel superior, go ahead and diss the pomp and ceremony and the appeal to magic (transubstantiation, blessing of trinkets and so on) but at the core, Catholics believe exactly the same irrational fairytale that you do, Dan.

    Not so, I believe it should be shut down because these practices are company wide and nation wide. Much the same as the RCC or ACORN, the evidence shows that its company wide and therefore its bad fruit from a bad tree (the Company)

I never claimed it couldn't be true just that one video from a person with a shady past in video production doesn't convince me.

We'll see, but even if it is true, it would only mean a cleaning of the house at PPH. If you feel differently about it, than I stand by my previous statement on Christianity using you twisted logic.

  26. Dan I quickly reviewed the second video and it really doesn't impress me. The guy was very vague and the woman he was speaking to seemed to be just giving general information she would give anyone who came in. I think I would be a little confused as to what he was babbling about concerning him and the women if its out of character to see in the clinic, and provide the same answers to questions and information I would to anyone who came.

    I will review the video again when I can pay more attention but so far the videos seem to amount to not much at all. For an organization with over 850 clinics in America, I find it comedic that you think these 2 videos are enough to make the broad claims you do concerning PPH.

    As I mentioned before Dan, even if these women provided assistance outside of policy of PPH, or any that is legally possible, all that would mean is there are a few people who work for them hat need to be dealt with. It in no way incriminates PPh in a whole.

    Dan, I've see far more incriminating evidence/news about Christians and Christian organizations concerning the death of children each year. Many of those I've seen people involved sent to prison for after. The difference between you and me Dan is I do not hold an entire denomination or Christianity to blame and expect it to be shutdown by th egovernemnt. I just hope we can put laws in place to prevent the parents from continuing neglecting to provide proper health care to their children. they can practice their dogma, as long as proper health care is also included.

    I may not be a fan of organized religion, but I do not try to force its complete removal because of particular peoples actions.

    We'll see if my opinon changes though with another view and any future info shared.

  30. Dan, your argument for "your world view" fails no matter which thread you post it on. You need to actually show support for your claim, not just continue to make the same assertions over and over.

    Dan, on my way home from work, which is a long commute, I was thinking of all the horrible things done by Christians & Christian leaders, denominations, and entire organizations JUST in my lifetime. In many cases legal action was taken and fine, jail-time and other damages were brought against those involved. Some of these things were done in the name of Christianity others were done by Christians or Christians leaders and then they were protected by the church. Though not all I was thinking of had to do with children, the list of those that did and lead to torture, molestation, and death, is much longer than those that didn't.

    Dan, if two videos of employees of PPH have you running with your guns a blazing to have PPH shutdown, when you're done, you should be ready to do the same to Christianity. Even if you're 100% correct about PPH, helping a pimp has got nothing on torture and killing of children.

    Before we proceed though, Please explain to me in detail the how and why of the PPH situation. For the sake of argument, I will allow us to assume both of those videos do show PPH employees acting against policy, and the legal boundaries of their organization. So explain what you think should be done and the details that support your plan of action.

    I never picked you for the headmaster of a Catholic girls' school, Dan.

    Seriously, your comment is telling in a number of ways, though.

    Firstly, you give away that you think sexual purity is primarily the woman's responsibility.

    Secondly, you reveal a naively idealistic belief that if we just limit people's options, we can make them behave. That might work in a totalitarian system, but it won't change the inherent inclinations of humans. You won't create a world in which all men only ever think about sex when they want to make a baby, and where all women have the power and inclination to refuse or forego sex when they're not feeling clucky. Not to mention the fact that there's plenty more to sexual interaction than just intercourse, but I won't go into detail on a public blog.

    My 'recklessness' over the past 15 years has resulted in precisely zero unwanted pregnancies. Maybe I have been lucky, but I have also taken responsible steps to ensure that this was the case. It is, quite frankly, more reckless of you to consider denying people information on the available options and leaving them to flounder in ignorance and fear.

  37. If there's one thing predictable about Dan (as others have pointed out here and in other threads), it's that he can be guaranteed to ignore questions that point out the gaping holes in his world view.

    And he does so while claiming ownership of an objective morality.

    I just hope there never comes a day when his kids dismiss him as sincerely as I do.

    EDIT: changed the last paragraph. I don't really laugh at Dan any more.

  38. I agree with DormantDragon. I agree not because I just think he's right but the research has shown the same. Places where abstinence only was the only sex education showed a rise in teen pregnancy. Some of those area have the highest rate of teen pregnancy.

    Area in America where an well rounded sex education, including information on forms of birth control have shown the lowest rate of teen pregnancy.

    So Dan, shielding people from something you o not like would only make the issue of teen pregnancy, unwanted children, and abortion rise not drop.

    Dan, restricting people from access of information and resources because it does sit well with you is no different than how I see some middle-eastern theocracy do the same to their people & especially woman. Its just the lite version of it but has the same damaging results.

    I'm assuming you watched the video Dustin posted, as you responded to it, though I'm coming to the realization that you often respond without actually considering what's put before you.

    In the video it is very clear that they have inserted dialogue from another section in response to questions not actually being asked to the person at the time of filming. They overlay sections of audio over video that does not actually reflect this audio.

    Now, there's this thing you learn about when you study journalism called "backgrounding". What you do is, you present the view you want everyone to read in the first two-three paragraphs of an article - in this example, they included audio mismatched with the video, answers to questions other than the one edited into the asking place.

    Then, on their website, they include the "unedited" footage in its entirety. Because it's so long, however, most people will simply watch the shorter, punchier video and make their conclusion.

    So, for example, if I described a conversation I had with a certain apologist Christian - let's call him Stan - and immediately told my friend that I had absolutely creamed you with my combined use of rapier wit and unshakeable logic - the chances that this friend is going to actually look this site up and see all of my spelling errors is rather low. The fact of the matter is that backgrounding is used in order to spin an event. We often give convenient information before we give pertinent information.

    That and I honestly do doubt that the questions being asked in the video are the ones being asked in the situations depicted, even in the "unedited" long form. Especially since a lot of the responses don't match up right, and even more especially since PP called the cops on these two. A lot of these "candid camera" videos are really just bogus.

    Can't fault you for believing it, though. This stuff is intended to be very persuasive. Someone who already has prejudices against PP will immediately see that short video and consider their worldview confirmed, not really going any deeper than necessary.

    So let's get this straight: God had the babies and children killed because their parents were killing them?

    Do you even bother to think before you type?

    A god who truly valued life would have at least tried to find a way to spare the young innocents instead of just killing them also. After all, that is the reason that their culture itself deserved extinction, right?

    Recently, Lila Rose, a rising star in the (sexist wisecrack coming) right-wing bimbo brigade behind Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann, made a ludicrous attempt to swiftboat Planned Parenthood, an organization that provides a plethora of invaluable health assistance to women everywhere, but which the right chooses to characterize exclusively as Dachau for Babies. Rose's stunt was butt-stupid, even for a Republican. Like her BFF, convicted criminal James "Doctored ACORN Videos" O'Keefe, Rose tried to punk PP with some video doctoring of her own. Her ingenious plan must be read to be believed.

    And that's 'evidence' that genocide doesn't make God evil is it? No wonder Pyb kept asking for actual evidence as that's just a pile of crap. As Reynold quite rightly points out where's the justification for slaughtering children in order to 'punish' people who are slaughtering children? And what had the animals done wrong?

    He wanted "evidence" as to why God ordering the destruction of those people didn't fairly and squarely make God evil.

    And you failed to give it too him. Care to try?

    Punishment isn't evil. It's just.

    Genocide isn't punishment, it's evil and what God ordered done to the Canaanites was genocide.

    It's hardly surprising that Christian's cannot see that though. They spend so much time trying to show that the evil perpetrated by their God is 'morally justifiable' that they can no longer distinguish between good and evil.

    If so, why not kill adam and eve and start over and keep going until they get it right?

    If you understood your sin (and mine and the world's) then you might could grasp this notion.
    Why doesn't your god do such things today? Grasp that.

    You see- by one man, sin entered the world. All are plagued with it now.
    Hence my question above. Why not do his "cleansing" right off the bat and kill those who brought "sin" into the world instead of waiting and waiting for it to get worse, then killing a bunch of kids, and still having that problem?

    Just as a bird is pre-determined to be a bird....and a dog a dog. A dog won't be born a bird, neither a bird a dog.....all men are born sinners.

    Well- when these groups of people committed these sins- the whole group was guilty.

    So what? Why doesn't your god have every man woman and child killed today then? Remember, in your mythology, we're all equally "guilty". In your god's eyes, one sin is as bad as another so the "sinner" goes to the same place: hell.

    Why didn't your god wipe adam and eve out and start over? Instead, he lets the "infection" spread and then tries and fails to cleanse the world (global flood anyone?)

    In the OT, they were told early on that the sins of the fathers would be 'visited' on the sons....later this issue was 'cleared' so to speak.... but you see- sin is 'passed down'...it goes deeper than DNA.
    Then the issue was not "cleared" was it? People still "sin", even after accepting christ.

    The go-cart's rules of operation don't apply to the new car. No turn signals, no mirrors, no fuel injection, no anti-lock brakes, no overdrive, ...you can't even figure out this stuff from the older car! (Don't older cars have carburetors instead of fuel injection?)

    You expect me to take another human's rules over God's?

    No way Little Drummer Boy! I'm going to the Maker of the machine- and He has different rules than you do.

    He's ABSOLUTELY the best and only source, for the best operation instructions of my vehicle (and all others as well, since He made them too)....you're kinda relative dear.

    What if I told you to play your drums with a guitar pick? Dried spaghetti noodles? No no no- the best way to play them is with a strand of hair! ...You better go ask the maker of those drums...and stop taking my advice. My opinion on how to play the drums is certainly relative.

  76. Wem,

    >>If killing is unjust in one situation but just in another, "Thou shall not kill" isn't objective morality.

    You are taking advantage of a mistranslation. In Exodus 20:13 the "kill" is ratsach (Strong's H7523) defined as to murder, assassinate. In Matthew 5:21 "kill" is phoneuĹŤ (Strong's G5407) 1. to kill, slay, murder 2. to commit murder

    Is it morally relative to assassinate or murder someone? Abortion is assassination! Its Murder. Murder is unjust for humans to do because we are not God. God can take someone home to heaven, you do not have this luxury. Capitol punishment is not murder, its justice. You know this, you deny these facts. You just keep repeating your dogma.

    So, let me get this straight, Dan. According to you, God can do whatever because he made us, right? The creator can do whatever he wants with the creation.

    Okay, so, by this logic, it's fine for an artist to destroy his work, even if that work has been appreciated and valued by many others. An architect should be able to destroy a building he designed, regardless of how many people live in it. The maker of a car can trash it whenever he feels like it, even if it someone has been driving it for years. Makers' rights reign supreme.

    But as for me and my house....we will serve the Lord. His Words are SURE. They don't change. They are forever.

    One more thing about the human heart and mindset:
    (Jer 17:9) The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

  82. Wem,

    >>I'm willing to bet that no matter no long we discuss this, neither Rhomphala nor Dan will concede their arguments boil down to moral relativism.

    Only in your SUBJECTIVITY ONLY worldview. Its merely subjectively moral relativism in your viewpoint, on a personal level. Unless you are arguing that its universally true that its moral relativism. If so, then you already lost the argument. For the sake of this argument, I could not care less about your mere OPINION.

  83. I know the conversation has kind of moved on, but I'm still curious as to how some of you see the killing of the Canaanite children and animals as a sensible thing. Even allowing for the whole clay-potter dynamic, why not flex that omniscience and omnipotence to kill only those who were involved in the killing of children? Or at the very least restrict the killing to adult humans. I'm not looking to fan any flames or take sides, just curious about that particular fact.

  84. God can only do what His Nature is.

    Precisely how does a supernatural entity have a nature, Dan?

    Having a particular nature implies limits. I thought you believed your god had none.

    Is it now your contention that your god is not omnipotent?

  85. Unless you are arguing that its universally true that its moral relativism.

    This statement sets up a false dichotomy between absolute and arbitrary, Dan.

    Furthermore, you are confusing universal morality with objective morality. Something does not have to be wrong for all beings at all times and in all circumstances in order to be objectively wrong for a particular being in a particular time and particular circumstances.

    And if you are really arguing that killing babies is universally wrong, then you have contradicted yourself, because then it would be wrong for your god too, at least when it was acting within this universe.

  86. Dan makes the same mistake as most Christian fundagelicals do: he assumes "objective morality" means "right/wrong in all places at all times under all circumstances".

    Unless, of course, one of those circumstances happens to God himself. He made the rules, he can do anything he wants.

    aka. even under Dan's definition, objective morality doesn't exist. He's just too pig-headed to admit this.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Indeed, nothing at all is objective in Dan's worldview, because he believes everything has its source in the mind of his god - therefore, subjectivity is all.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Oh, and another thing - if Dan really supposes that his god can slaughter babies for an undisclosed "morally sufficient" reason, then he's got no grounds for claiming that his god might not give him false revelations for a similarly undisclosed morally sufficient reason. So much for his basis for all possible knowledge.

  89. You've arrived at the position I currently find myself. Dan's responses are nothing more than static, and he doesn't appear to be interested in addressing the problems with his world view.

    DD (and the rest of you), I applaud your willingness to discuss these things with him. I simply can't stomach a person who's so enthusiastically dishonest in talking about things he claims are important - which is why I wont talk with him any more.

    I hope you folks manage to get him to get him to deal with you honestly. I was unable to.

  90. It would be highly dishonest of me to say I'm expecting miracles, WEM :)

    The truth is, I've spent a fair bit of time nutting out this whole presup thing, and I'm content with getting straight in my own mind exactly why it's bullshit - justifying the hunch, I guess.

    I don't really mind not actually engaging Dan in discussion, since he's shown himself much less interested in actually arguing his position than in juvenile point-scoring - but from what I've gathered, that's pretty much the presup MO. Asking questions he's not prepared to answer seems to be the best way to shut down his merry-go-round of demands that we concede his conclusions before he's even made an argument.

  91. Dan, I was away on vacation. I actually was down in one of the places in America that is densely populated with the likes of you.

    Anyway, I just wanted to respond to your response to my last post. As usual you take my comment out of context. I clearly mentioned about DormantDragons post previous to mine and was very clearly extrapolating on his point. I never said anything about laws or legality but instead spoke on education since you had made the statement to just 'close your legs' instead promoting recklessness. I wanted to point out that it takes far more sex than you seem to think to have better results.

    As for more VD in the places with a fuller sex education in schools and public resources, I would like to see your resource for this information.

    That's been my experience too. Although introduced to presuppositionalism via Sye and Dan, every single presup-apologist I've encountered does exactly they same thing: they stifle conversation until you're willing to convert.

    I don't have to agree with someone in order to converse with them. Heck, I seem to be one of the few who's willing to admit to discussing things (readily) with Stormbringer. We agree to disagree - what MORE could you want from a verbal opponent?

    Dan's not like that, and I haven't met a presuppositional apologist who is. They're not interested in conversation. They merely want you to go away. Dan seems to get a sense of satisfaction by being an asshat.

  93. Trino,

    >>I know the conversation has kind of moved on, but I'm still curious as to how some of you see the killing of the Canaanite children and animals as a sensible thing.

    The difference is when we murder someone we are REMOVING them from our only plane we know and are in right now. We are getting rid of a human FROM us by aborting them. The same was for the Canaanite children. They have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We deny them that God given right. If they don't want children, don't do the thing that makes them.

    God, on the other hand, brings children HOME to Him. He is calling them home for a better life to be with Him. God KNOWS better then us. I trust His plan and ways. Which is a better life, being sacrificed by your parents or living knowing that you were rejected or being at home with our kind gentle Creator in Heaven forever? Its obvious.

  97. Just to be clear, I'm not arguing for abortion. I'm simply focusing on the story about the Canaanites. It's interesting, however, to see what you consider to be the best solution for the two cases. For modern-day children on the verge of being aborted, you believe the greater good would be to allow them to survive and live a full, blessed life. For the Canaanite children, you believe the greater good was to take them up into heaven. Correct me if you didn't mean it that way, but that seems very inconsistent to me. Why shouldn't the Canaanite children be allowed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as well?

    I've also noticed that you describe abortion as a violent, bloody affair, while the Canaanites were simply "taken home". Nowhere in the scriptures does it indicate that those children were killed any more gently than the adults, but yet you don't seem to flinch at the idea of them being killed just as brutally as an aborted child.

    Which is a better life, being sacrificed by your parents or living knowing that you were rejected or being at home with our kind gentle Creator in Heaven forever?

    It sounds like your answer to that question is "it depends on when and where you were born".

    Also, I'm a bit disappointed that you didn't comment on the most pertinent aspect of my post: What on earth did the poor animals ever do? :-)

  98. Trino,

    >>Why shouldn't the Canaanite children be allowed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as well?

    Well, you caught me at my bias. God made the choice to take the Canaanite children home. I do not fully understand it, but I trust it. Its done by His hand, so its righteous and good. Abortions, on the other hand, is being done at the had of people, not God. Howard Huge difference.

    Even if the kids of Andrea Yates are in Heaven, it does not make it right, because as the Bible says, if you murder someone you shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:12)

    >>What on earth did the poor animals ever do?

  100. Yea Dan, I particularly like Psalm 137:8-9 where god is all about throwing infants on the rocks in revenge.

    Yea, its OK if its god gingerly killing them on the rocks below for his master plan.

    The fact that you think anything is OK as long as its god doing it is frightening. Glad to see you finally admit it though. After all of these other occasions where you tried to weasel your way out of it with your twisted logic, its rather refreshing for you to be more honest with us.

  101. Would you know if your god was giving you a false revelation, Dan?

    In anticipation of your probable response ("lying is contrary to the nature of god!") I put it to you that if you are prepared to claim that slaughtering babies is not murder when your god does it, then presumably delivering false revelation doesn't count as lying, either, when your god does it.

    How so? Let's see:

    The women who had abortions did so willingly; the ones who god wanted killed had their children taken away from them without their consent, and they were killed too!

    Yeah, that's one huge difference there, buddy.

    Your god is worse, by far than any even "backstreet" abortionist.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again: Any christian who calls themselves "pro-life" is lying. Pure and simple.

    Any one going for an abortion is morally able to call you a hypocrite to your face and is morally capable of telling you to go "eff" yourself.

    my favorate part was this

    "Here's an idea.... if your god hates these things so much, why don't you let IT kill these people? Why does it need YOU and your scumbag kind to help it? Why does this impotent omnipotent being never do anything for itself? If it wants these people to die, let it take care of them. Maybe if they don't all die immediate horrible deaths, it's a sign that either a) your god doesn't mind these things and possibly even endorses them, like slavery, or b) it doesn't exist at all. If a god only acts through the actions of humans, how can we distinguish between those acts and acts which are committed by humans alone?"
