(rolls eyes) It's fine to disagree with me. I encourage you to consider having the courage and courtesy to sign your name while you're doing it.
That said--any God who would kill children over something their grandfather did is a God so palpably evil that anyone who knowingly chooses to follow that God has some explaining to do.
And regarding "innocents suffering" over abortion, I grant you that for the vast majority of its development a fetus is mindless and therefore innocent as a rock is innocent. Inhumanly innocent, if I may coin a phrase.
However in the vast majority of abortions it is hard to imagine it could suffer pain; a fetus's nerves don't grow all the way to its brain until the 6th month, and most abortions take place long before then.
