Okay, this is a quick response video [clearing throat]
to one from The Young Turks called uh... [clearing throat]
Physician Assisted Suicide Goes to Trial or Goes to Vote.
um...
They mentioned that uh...
uh... religions ... certain specific religions might be against uh... suicide,
and, I believe you're [The Young Turks] in error.
uh... What...
What we're talking about when we think Christianity as a whole
is against suicide,
that's one of those uh...
more like an Urban Legend. That's where uh... things that uh...
we believe are in the Bible (the book that we don't
really read), [chuckle]
are not actually in the Bible.
So, I believe at it's core,
the Christian religion isn't... doesn't have any... any ancient doctrine
against suicide.
uh... I think the... the trouble is,
that if you have a way out, um...
then
religion, and
government and so forth has less power over you. So,
they need to find a way to force you to stay in the game, uh...
that way you are less powerful over your own life.
