Religion a control trick
The idea of abortions and homosexuality being sins has evolved over the years within the conservative community so they can control their subjects better. These self- righteous people hold this over the weak so they can control the poor into doing what the higher class wants of them.
There is nothing wrong in having an abortion or being gay. We’ve been doing abortions since the beginning of time and it is not murder. We don’t even know if Moses ever existed. A lot of the thought process changed when King James had the Bible translated from Greek into English so he could have more control over his subjects. Most of the modern thinking about our religious way of doing things is the figment of people’s imaginations during the Renaissance period. In other words, most of the stuff people believe these days developed within the last thousand years.
