Many years ago there was a BBC documentary about Gnostics. One episode started showing footage of the Shuttle Disaster and then cut to the wise old gnostic master saying "Zis proves zat Life is Tragic." So I was yelling at the TV "No, it proves that Death is tragic."

It doesn't prove anything we didn't already know apart from the fact that even qualified human engineers can't be trusted with human life sometimes.

Look if you’re not a fan of Catholicism whatever. If you show up to the March for Life just to protest Catholics, you’re the one doing the devils work.

How so ? The people walking in the march of life are pretty evil - if they are also Catholic that makes them double vile.

Is opposing evil the devils work ?

I think calling pro lifers and catholics evil is also a massive stretch.

I wouldn't call someone evil for being morally opposed to abortion, but I do have a serious problem with anyone who is actively trying to make abortion illegal. Regardless of one's intentions, prohibition of abortion causes serious harm, so in that sense it is "evil" in the way that any action which hurts people is.

I will not argue the pro lifer point mostly cause I am not in the mood but you agree that calling Catholics evil is a massive exaggeration right?

Seems a bit strange to protest someone who is agreeing with you. Unless these protestors aren't pro-life, either.
