Really?
Am I the first to understand that once you’ve eaten it, nobody will ever again be able to part YOUR cake from you?
It stops being a cake as you chew on it?
Well… yeah. Actually it does. But… it remains a cake in your memory! That’s what you’ll remember having eaten: A cake!
And now, that we’ve settled the ‘eaten cake’ problem, let me ask you another question.
How strange is it that so many conservatives consider taxes as an infringement upon their right to freely dispose of their property yet they have no qualms to impose their beliefs upon other people – women, to be more precise, denying them the right to freely dispose of their own bodies?
Because all life is sacred!
Hence, in their view, all abortion is murder. Regardless of the age of the fetus. Regardless of the consequences of having an unwanted child. Too early, too many, not enough money, health problems, sexual assault… nothing counts except for the right of the fetus to be born.
Some go even further. They consider that contraception is murder too. Because it denies the right of the egg-cell to become an embryo…
As I said before.
It is not only possible but very normal to have your cake and eat it too.
Same goes for convictions.
Once embedded in our heads they become ours and nobody can part them from us, no matter what logical arguments might be involved. Invoked?
Except for us. We are the ones who can leave behind some of our old convictions and reach new ones.
Conversion is the name of the game.
A game we’ve been playing since the dawn of time.
