Well then, if it is not your vaccine, then you are unvaccinated with it; which is expressed as 0=0. If you are vaccinated with it then it is your vaccine; which is expressed by 1=1. That's how the math is done in my math book. Like I said, if I've assumed incorrectly regarding your vaccination status then I've made a ridiculous mistake. But my mathematical formula is still correct, if you will insist on using mathematics to demonstrate this. But I don't know why anyone would bring arithmetic to bear on the discussion. It just seems like a diversion away from the primary question of whether it is moral to benefit from products developed through experimentation performed on "products of conception" made available from elective abortions. This truly is the heart of the matter. Whatever side we choose on this question, the choice is ours, along with the responsibility for the choice. In other words, we own it. It's ours. I don't currently own the vaccine because I've chosen against it. Neither has it been placed within my bodily person. I don't own it physically or morally. If you don't either, then you should just come right out and say so. Or if you're on the fence and are just trying to figure out what side you should be on, then It would be good if you would say so. Frankly, the tone of your posts makes it look like you lean heavily towards moral justification for use of the products of conception from electively aborted fetuses in scientific experimentation, or are otherwise against it, but not against Christians benefiting from the products of conception themselves.
So if it's not too much to ask, are you decided and if so, what is your decision? If you haven't already done so elsewhere, please articulate clearly your own convicted answer to this moral question. After you've done so, then perhaps you'll be able to convince me that my "numbers" don't really add up correctly.
The vaccine issue is just one thing you use. Then there was the Zionist comment and Peter of all things! Now you say "in other words" while before you said it was MY vaccine. Now you say "from the tone of my voice". Wow you know everything about me and what I think! You guys even drove Gurney out of here. Again, if someone does not believe you or may disagree with any of what you say or your Nostradamian interpretations, you go after them. So no, I won't discuss anything regarding myself with you, vaccinated or not. That is not the point. It would seem anything anyone discusses with you and takes a position even slightly opposing yours for discussion's sake you will use it against them in some way, then twist things out of context, make connections where there are none and imply only you hold the truth. Maybe you should read what Rus wrote again. I mean look at what you wrote, it just proves my point!
"Maybe the problem isn't that there really is no connection between the various pictures I sometimes "paint" with my words. I'm not working mathematically. I'm working artistically and poetically, and even Theologically perhaps, and it could be that some individuals lack a capacity to see beyond the metaphor into the truth to which they point. If you continue with such assertions, I'll surely begin to realize more thoroughly what St. Paisios was referring to with other things that he had indicated was the case with some people."
