I believe he said: "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise" (Luke 23:43). Wouldn't God's mercy extend to unborn babies?

Why wouldn’t God give mercy to everything? He created everything. It wouldn’t make any sense for Him to not do it.[/quote]

DP. I believe that God's mercy will eventually extend to everything and everyone, and what the previous poster posted doesn't preclude that. But that's not what the OP asked.[/quote]

God's mercy will eventually extend to everything and everyone, but meanwhile, Catholic children will be shot at during a back-to-school mass[/quote]

The shooter was also anti-Catholic and mad at God as you seem to be. Perhaps you could provide insight for us into why his anger at God / religion / Catholicism led him to commit such crimes?[/quote]

Given that the Catholic Church does not protect children, one can see why many are against the Catholic church. I grew up in a parish where the priests were moved in and out, and the church knew they hurt children. We even had nuns who were beyond horrifying to kids. The church just looked the other way for years and years.

The church is still protecting the criminals and not the innocent by paying for lawsuits.

All Religions are drinking the Kool-Aid grifts. Especially the more conservative they are. As for the unborn, science is the answer not religion. [/quote]

Science has the answer for the unborn? What’s the answer? [/quote]

Well, science is much more likely to keep a baby alive than religion.  I'm not sure why you worship an alleged being that has so much disdain for you.[/quote]

You didn’t answer the question. [/quote]

What's the question?[/quote]

A poster said science has the answer for unborn babies. They never answered.

[/quote]

I'm not the Kool-Aid poster, and I don't know what either of you of meant by the "answer." But if I was worried about the survival of an unborn baby I would take science and modern medical treatments over prayer.[/quote]

It's not an either or.  Literally no one is forced to choose between those things.  You can put your child in the hands of the very best surgeons you can find, and then pray in the waiting room.  Or have a bedtime routine where you give your child a breathing treatment and then say prayers together.  [/quote]

What? You don't trust god to watch out for the well-being of your child?[/quote]

I trust God to have created a world that includes wonders like modern medicine.  [/quote]

And most of the doctors don't believe in God themselves.  Ask them, if it matters to you.[/quote]

PP you quoted here.

I would never ask my child’s doctor their religious beliefs, just like I would never share my religious beliefs in a professional context.  But NIH says that you are wrong.

This study, cited in pubmed, is from February 2017 - almost 9 years ago.  You can bet that more doctors are non-believers now and that more doctors are willing to acknowledge their lack of belief in God.[/quote]

Here's what AI has to say about God belief among scientists:

Key findings from surveys:

General Scientists (2009 Pew Survey):
51%: believed in a god or higher power. 
33%: believed in God. 
18%: believed in a universal spirit or higher power. 
41%: did not believe in a god or higher power.

Elite Scientists (1998 Larson and Whitham Survey):  Only 7% of scientists in the National Academy of Sciences believed in a personal God.  Many scientists in elite groups identify as agnostic or non-believers.

Reasons for variations:
Different Definitions:  Surveys may use varying definitions of "God," with some scientists believing in a higher power but not a personal God.

Sample Size and Type:  Studies focusing on elite or nationally recognized scientists often show lower rates of religious belief compared to broader surveys of the general scientific community.

Time of Study:  Beliefs can shift over time, and older studies might not reflect current views.

In summary, while more than half of scientists surveyed by Pew in 2009 expressed belief in a higher power, this figure is significantly lower among elite scientists, highlighting the difference between general scientific populations and those in highly respected scientific organizations. [/quote]
