Some, such as Muslims and others do argue that. But it's different, as it does not involve one human crossing into another human's personal, sexual area (KJV: "nakedness"), but rather God, who sees and owns everything, simply bypassing the physical sexual space altogether and causing the reproduction process to begin inside.Yeah, Jesus is the "son," not the impregnater. Mary also submitted to the Conception, according to scripture... although I guess one could make a case of unequal power (e.g., a teenage girl is hit on by the President and she succumbs, was it totally a free choice or was there exploitation occurring due to the power difference?)
I remember feeling the pressure to "witness" to other people when I was in a religion. When the premise is that you have the truth that will give you eternal life and those without it will have eternal death, then not witnessing is considered the ultimate selfishness. It always made me uncomfortable to do it and then the guilt would set in for not striking up conversations with random people. Every week in church various people will report how they witnessed to others and those who could do it randomly are respected for it by the other church members
Exactly!
[Bold]: including people here. So then, I could not even participate in any nonreligious forum without making a pest ofmyself and possiblty even violating the rules, if proseletyzing is forbidden.
