I'm really, really sick of pro-lifers who refuse to respond to people who disagree with them.

"I'm not going to argue with you, I'm right and you're wrong"

"I'm right, just deal with it"

"I'm not going to dignify that question with an answer"

It seems to me that if they were really secure in their beliefs, they wouldn't have a problem responding to us in the debate threads.

Is anyone else getting tired of these childish pro-lifers?

Sure, that's annoying.

But what I really hate is repeating myself ad nauseaum, because they can't get what I'm trying to say through their thick skulls!

Anyone who does that should be ashamed of themselves.

If I can logically demonstrate to you that "if A then B, if B then C, therefore if A then C," and you disagree... saying "well I'll believe what I want" is tantamount to flat-out-denial.



I understand them getting frustrated and finding that for every belief they have we have a logical argument as to why it is wrong, and feeling flustered. They want to believe abortion is evil and always wrong. But they are willing to do this at all cost, sacrificing debate so they can cling to what they want to believe (sorta like condeming Galileo for saying the world is round and we go around the sun). Sticking your fingers in your ears and going "lalalalalala" is never a good idea.

Exactly what I've been saying for the past year. I think it's a lack of self-esteem, or some other insecurity.
