[Michael] No, I'm not. I made no such assumption. I am investigating what MoQ can tell us about morality on this issue and am asking questions not making statements.
[Arlo] I don't want to belabor this. But YOU said, "there is no immediate and obvious immorality to preventing a pregnancy". This is WRONG. Or at the least contestable. And you've based this statement on your previous premise that since "the new pattern begins at conception" then preventing pregnancy is not immoral. What I said is that the "new pattern" has nothing to do with the reason why (most) people object to measures that prevent pregnancy. If you think that's an overgeneralization of me to say that those who find preventing pregnancy to be immoral base this on social considerations revolving around the negative social consequences of sexual promiscuity (or the ungodliness of preventing conception), then I don't know what to say. I think that's pretty accurate. I'll reply to the rest later.
