Zygote Nation - This is a Person? Where are my Rights Paul Ryan?

Zygote - Personhood along with Corporations?


We know that uber-Catholic Paul Ryan with his 110% Catholic Rating wants to give full citizenship and rights to a two celled piece of protoplasm (pictured above).  

What I remember from the Catholic catechism is that "Man is made in the image and likeness of God".

God is a two celled animal?

Corporations are not people!

Zygotes are not people!  

That has a soul?  

A sex?

I don't think so! 

Rights? What kind of dope do you smoke Paul?

An Agnostic’s Right to Doubt

I may be taking this quote out of the context of the author’s original meaning in that I apply it to religious thinking. I have no doubt that in their day, the myths (stories) of Generals Moses, Constantine or Mohammed had a certain relevance within the context of the time and place originated.

But today is today. Give a guy a break. I have the right to doubt in the myths of the past. It is a right of belief and a right to belief in the private and public realm. It is a universal human right.

"Everyone has the right to doubt everything as often as he pleases and the duty to do it at least once. No way of looking at things is too sacred to be reconsidered. No way of doing things is beyond improvement."

— Edward De Bono (The Use of Lateral Thinking)
