Alabama’s supreme court ruling that frozen embryos are ‘children’ is a chilling example of the Republican party’s extremism
In a case centering on wrongful-death claims for frozen embryos that were accidentally destroyed at a fertility clinic, the Alabama supreme court ruled last Friday that frozen embryos are “children” under state law.
As a result, several Alabama in-vitro fertilization (IVF) clinics are ceasing services, afraid to store or destroy any embryos.
The underlying issue is whether government can interfere in the most intimate aspects of people’s lives – not only barring people from obtaining IVF services but also forbidding them from entering into gay marriage, utilizing contraception, having out-of-wedlock births, ending their pregnancies, changing their genders, checking out whatever books they want from the library, and worshipping God in whatever way they wish (or not worshipping at all).
All these private freedoms are under increasing assault from Republican legislators and judges who want to impose their own morality on everyone else. Republicans are increasingly at war with America’s basic separation of church and state.
There is literally no way of knowing.
I don’t mean some scientific objective same God.
They are both based off Abrahamic origins. They literally believe in the same God. They just disagree in a lot of interpretations and how to respect and worship him.
There is, actually. You see, since men wrote all the books, thankfully they’ve made it clear in the Quran that it’s a sequel, same-universe cannon.
Ironically, since we know from the literature, we do literally have a way to know
Considering the 3 big ones feature the same cast of saints and holy figures, I’d say it’s more likely than not that it is the same God.
Some dude named Dave knew, but he died without telling anyone in 1973 🤷
Damn it Dave!
Yeah, he was a total dick. He also heated fish in the break room microwave.
We know it’s the same god the same way we know it’s the same Emperor Palpaptine in Revenge of the Sith, Return of the Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker.
