Double standard?

You know life comes from conception. Just as you plant a seed in the ground add little water add sun , so the shoot in the ground isn't whatever one planted. Soon as a root come out of the seed it is a plant. No longer a seed. As you plant your seed in a women and it starts to grow it is human life no longer a cell. Which takes on its own growth which you or anyone else shouldn't have any dominion over.

Actually, you can make the argument that life starts at preconception; you argue that a human life is constituted of a diploid pair of chromosomes joining their polypeptide amino acid strands together to form one complete set sequence of human dna. The gametes before joining are 'alive', and infact considered biological life. The seed is 'alive'. The single celled zygote will soon become many cells, but is truely just the same thing on every level. We're all essentially the same thing; molecules arranged in a complex series of sequences and patterns; theres relatively little that separates you and a monkey, for example. Heck, theres not too much that separates us from things like ecosystems such as mountains and lakes on a molecular level.

No one has ever made a rule, or universally scientific axiom saying "when two pairs of chromosomes combine, that is a human."

Life itself doesn't constitute a person; for cells, are alive, but you can't be held as immoral for killing cells, or other forms of life; isn't all life sacred? Do we get angry when we kill animals that are pests? I'm not comparing unborn babies to cocroaches or rats, but yet if you uphold this idea that "all life is sacred", it would be a very tedious to balance on this thin line between morality and depravity.

Personally, I don't think people become people until after twenty years of age, possibly more for many. hehe.

One of us is confused. Maybe it's me. Because it looks to me like you just got finished saying that every human being is dirty and filthy and evil, even babies... And then you go on to say that children are pure and innocent and righteous. Could you clarify?
Meanwhile, I'll address the part of this that was directed specifically at me.

That strikes me as both awfully pessimistic and not at all accurate.

To me, it's not a matter of "righteousness" or "wickedness." In my understanding, good and evil are not things one is, but rather things one does. Every person has the capacity to do both good and evil, and he makes the choice between them again and again, every moment of every day. I don't see human morality as a binary, with the only choices being "perfectly righteous" and "horribly sinful and evil." There's a vast middle ground, in which the majority of humanity resides.

Do you really think that a baby's crying is a sign of some sort of moral defect? An infant cries because developmentally, that's the only means it has to communicate that it's in pain, or afraid, or hungry, or whatever else it's feeling. Morality is not even a relevant concern in children until they've reached a certain stage of brain development.

Sin, Works for all of us and in all of us. Some care about it more than others, in its effect on others.
For all to know. I love Gods people. No one is an enemy to me. They are just inflected by the enemy.
Here is another statement. No one see's themselves as evil! Do you think anyone see's themselves as crazy as well. The crazed think there O.K. as well. Hitler ,Thought he was doing the right thing as well.
Wonder what most people do when they think no one's around or looking. Look at the computer and what people come up with or say for there is no one around.
God help us all. People need to listen to truth for this is the time of Gods grace. Listen before its too late.
