I’m writing this in response to David Wright’s letter (“There should be no confusion,” Our Readers’ Views, Oct. 17). I agree; there should be no confusion. Anyone who has read the Bible can’t honestly claim that the Bible is a moral guide. The Bible describes God as a baby killer and mass murderer. That doesn’t seem like moral behavior.
Abortion isn’t unequivocally condemned anywhere in the Bible. The Bible gives us minutiae about what to eat, what to wear, how to act on the sabbath, and when to stone your spouse, children or neighbors. But there’s nothing condemning abortion.
The Bible doesn’t get basic facts right. It’s wrong about the real origin of the universe, evolution and germ theory. Bottom line: the Bible can’t be trusted for truth or morality.
You can believe what you want, but you don’t have the right to prevent others from exercising their right to be who they are and to do what they want with their own bodies.
The moral thing to do is to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39), and mind your own business.
