I was really hoping for some comments defending either the idea that life was good(in any sense) or that life was good(in the sense that it is holy.)

I think that it is safe to say that, in general, people will cling to life. Even more generally, it is probably safe to say that all life clings to life.

But is that because there is a basic 'goodness' to life?

Now, I believe that religious people will, without even thinking about it, without thinking that they even need to think about it, would say that life is 'good' at least in the sense of being 'holy' or sacred.

I was hoping for some 'action' from eric or Botts, something that we could get some 'traction' on to at least get past the 'beginning', the Genesis, in the sense that there is some kind of definite 'goodness' to life and/or in the sense that 'God saw that it was good!'.

I was hoping to create some kind of beginning point that we might agree on, or even not agree on without going full tilt into a religious or anti-religious rant!

Well, speaking from the perspective of a living creature I feel that life is a great thing. I have no problem with that being an arbitrary assessment. ;)

I guess the question comes down to are you defining life as life in general or a life?

Something wrong with religious and anti-religious rants, now? They are my bread and butter, good sir, and I will not have you speak so unkindly of them.

I would try to argue the "life is sacred" angle for the sake of playing devil's advocate, but I seriously don't see how it is so. I am at the point where I can barely see any justification against full-fledged murder (though I know why one would be inclined to not do so for a sociological and empathetic perspective), so I am probably not the best suited for playing that game.
