You're listening to, atheistically speaking. Oh, Hello and welcome to atheistically speaking this is episode 200 yay I'm your

host Thomas Smith but yeah welcome to episode 200.

Thanks for listening.

Wow, so you just heard in the last previous week,

the abortion discussion slash debate with Tyler Vela. This has gotten a ton of comments. This is always a very contentious

issue. I've had a lot I wanted to set. It's gotten a lot of messages, a lot of emails. I want to thank you.

First off, thank you guys for your participation with all that.

It's been way more than I can possibly respond to. I've tried to respond to as much as I can, but I've also kind of said I'm going

to address a lot of it today.

So rather than try to respond to each individual comment, I'm doing my best to address a lot of the concerns today and the points made.

But thank you. I do want to thank you. I like that I have a show where if I do a topic, if I bring someone like Tyler Tyler on a lot of people seem to be interested in it and maybe you're just really mad it's one one or both of us

But either way at least that means people are engaging and and like that so I've enjoyed it a lot.

Well with that said why don't I just get into some commentaring on this very thing.

Well, where to begin with something like this.

Well, where to begin with something like this?

There are about 2 billion things I want to say and there's no guarantee

that I will say all of them in time. We'll see it could just be too long and I definitely

we've already done two episodes on it. So I'm definitely not doing any more than one commentary on this so I got to get it all out in one

So I mentioned I think last episode that I was wrong about the moment of conception thing.

I think I'm wrong about that. I think that was something I read that I may have either misunderstood

or it was just a minority position that the moment of conception is sort of nebulous and not very easy to identify.

But I think I'm going to go ahead and I'm a little worried that that position in my mind was done out of convenience or wanting that to be true or something.
