Really didn't mean to ignore that question. My answer, is more of a question really since I can't provide an answer. And this continues to be a debate: When does the soul enter the body? I don't know where you stand with "soul" and whatnot, but to answer your question simply: If each sperm is already inhabited by a soul, then yes, it would be a form of genocide. However, I am not inclined to believe that. Rather, I believe that the soul enters once the heart beats. Do not ask me for any scientific reasoning, if that's what you want.
You do make some great assumptions about what I think or about whether or not I was offended. Believe you me, no offense was taken. Once again, I don't have the answers. I do believe however that justice will prevail. We're going around in circles with you interrogating me with questions that I never said I had the answers to. I believe I have some of them, you believe I don't. I use the same exact things that you do: logic, scientific reasoning (if I really have to), but my belief in something greater is where we differ. Based on that alone, and based on the fact that you cannot answer these questions yourself, I'll keep believing in my fairy tales and delusions while you live in the real world...still looking for those answers. Please do not get me wrong, I will not feign obliviousness and ignorance on the fact that the world is getting worse. I'll do my best to try to make it better just as you are, but in the end, you in your situation is no better than any delusional religious person's who tries to do the same thing you do. Hope life is prosperous for you and your family again. Manuia le aso, or is it malo aupito?
