Do you have a sincerity-meter?
I do. I guess you can’t see it through the lack of emojis. But really, do you think your example of a skinhead is any way comparable to a Catholic doctor refusing to perform an abortion? Do you really think the intentional death of an unborn human being is proper treatment for pregnancy?
 
Unfortunately, yes. Both act according to their conscience.
The permissibility of the acts presumes a well formed conscience. Clearly the skinhead’s is not.
A treatment is between the doctor and the patient - and, of course God, if he chooses to express his displeasure.
You forgot about the insurance company. Or also the ethicists that determine what kind of treatments are ethically permissible. Or what about the law? Oh, there’s far more people involved than the doctor and the patient.

And God need not express his displeasure immediately. He’s free to wait until, well, judgement day. But by then it is too late.
And there is no “unborn human being”. There are zygotes, embryos, fetuses and finally born babies.
You aren’t the first to claim this. I’m not going to address it here unless someone else fails to take this up. But regardless, you are scientifically–as well as morally–incorrect if you think abortion is anything other than killing a human being who has not yet been born (i.e. unborn).
 
Wouldn’t you be better going the whole way and making his office hereditary? I think that given that Mexico was was considered an Empire, the USA would qualify as the Empire of America and the Imperial House of Trump as its ruling dynasty.
Trump turns Catholic and we could have a Catholic Monarchy. The King is accountable to God and the people. Hmmmmmmm
 
That is not your call to make. And they both honestly believe that their conscience is well-formed.
Sure it is. We do this all the time already. We say that the cold blooded murder, despite his own protestations about conscience, is wrong. Can we not say his conscience is ill formed? Why can we not say the same about the skinhead?

Now, are you arguing that the Catholic that refuses to perform an abortion guilty of an ill formed conscience?
Yes, he should, if he wanted to teach us. A good parent does not wait until his kid pokes a wire into the live electric outlet and electrocutes herself.
He did teach us! He sent is Son. He granted us all consciences. He wrote on every heart the law. He even sent us saints and other holy people to help us. But many of His children ignore every effort to guide them.
Yes, by then it would be pure revenge and/or retribution. I cannot believe the disrespect expressed by your sentence. You degrade the Almighty to some pitiful jerkwater scoundrel, who waits until it is too late to learn and then delivers his verdict of eternal torture.
This is a common and misinformed view of damnation. God sends nobody to hell. They choose it. But like the discussion about the humanity of the unborn, I won’t dive into detail here unless others leave this unchallenged.
 
Do you mean those medical personnel, who selectively refuse to administer treatment?
And, how is “good conscience” measured?
Well, for doctors there’s a little thing called the Hippocratic Oath, you might have heard of it.

As it seems like you are now derailing the thread with your own issues, I won’t be encouraging this further. Good day.

e, drawing attention to the total obstructiveness of the media and their party. But he could say “good morning” and that bunch would condemn him for it
How so? He had a Republican Congress his first two years. 🤨
 
He’s not joking. If he were joking the joke would be old and done. But he keeps bringing it up.
 
Oh, good grief. Trump will not get a third term.
I’m still trying to picture what will happen if he wins a second term. Does anyone else here remember the network news the last go around? All of the anchors looked like they were at a wake. The anguish on their faces was palpable. Beautiful to see actually! 😉

I’m not so sure. Everyone knows the guy that keeps saying the same joke over and over hoping somebody he cares about laughs at it.

Or it could be what was noted by @Tis_Bearself that he likes pushing buttons.

Or both.

Probably both.
 
Well when you’re the President of the United States, both are dangerous.

Good question. Perhaps we should define terms here.
What specific medical procedure are you seeing people refuse to use, and what exactly is the problem with it?

And spies and surveillance before the election, about which he was aware. Then there was the “Russia hoax” and the Mueller investigation. And the Dems media condemned him 24/7.
Democrat heads will explode.
And perhaps more than Dem heads. If they’ll burn buildings with people inside, there isn’t much they won’t do.
 
Actually, no one knows what he’s really like. If all he ever does is not say what he mean, or outright lies, it’s kinda hard to get a read on what he really believes.
 
Scripture advises a more nuanced discernment because the Pharisees notoriously did one thing and stunk on the inside.
