[Replying to 'so they would both die']Yes. God would want that to happen before he would want a mother to kill her baby just to save her own life. It doesn't matter if the baby would die anyway. God can take a life. It belongs to Him. He could save the woman's life without her having to kill her baby.

So... if you get the prediction that delivering the baby, or some event on the road to that point will kill you, then you just need to pray *real* hard. If you die, you're a filthy sinner and probably deserved it anyway. Guys like this piss me off. Go ahead, believe in god, that's not bothering me the least as long as you don't try to convert me, however, people that encourage others to ignore medical advice, stating that "god'll fix it" ... that just makes me sick.
After I was born, my mother became pregnant for a 2nd time. My mother has a genetic defect which caused her 2nd child to not develop properly. The doctors gave her a choice when she was 6/7 months along:
1. Abort the baby
2. Carry the baby to term, and risk dying yourself (oh, and the baby will still die if you birth it).
So in both cases, the baby was going to die. Nothing at that time could save it. My mother could abort it and save her own life, or carry it to term, watch it die, and risk dying herself, leaving me (her first son) and her husband alone.
She chose to abort. My dad agreed. When I was told about this whole scenario when I was 15, I agreed too. If the baby will die regardless, why risk the mother's life, when it's possible she could have another chance to get pregnant again and possibly give birth to another healthy human being?
God can take a life. It belongs to Him.
No, it doesn't. According to your myth, god gave us life. Something given is no longer owned.
So, when god is calling and calling for Gramma on her deathbed, but she's kept artificially alive by every tube, wire and machine imaginable, that's good, too? Because to me, it just seems like the other side to the same coin.
God's a dick! Luke just told us, God's a dick.
Imagine you are the all-knowing ruler of the universe. Would you do that?
See? God's a dick!
“Yes. God would want that to happen before he would want a mother to kill her baby just to save her own life.”
Then why does she get the chance to make a choice?
If he wants HER dead, he’s the guy that’s set people on fire out walking around offending him. Or set two she-bears to attack and ‘tare up’ people offending his prophets. Any time ANY celebrity keels over, people are quick to search their filmography to identify the film(s) that got God to strike him/her down. Gay man dies at 90 of an overdose, a televangelist notes that he played Judas on a PBS production of a passion play in the 50’s, and THAT’S WHY!
If he wants to kill a pregnant woman, and WANTS her to die rather than use medicine, why give her cancer? Have her hit by a car. In the restroom. On the 45th floor. There’s no mistaking THAT as God’s will.
Confused?
