This One's for You, LOGGER
This post is actually a response to logger but I think it's a subject all its own. Let me take you to the beginning...where we pro-lifers are coming from. (please bear with me for just a moment :)
Here's the way I look at life: WE SHOULDN'T BE HERE! There should be no time, no space, no NOTHING. But God, in His infinite Wisdom and Love created everything that we see. Not only did He create everything, but His methods are absolutely incomprehensible to humans. Look at physics, look at DNA, look at the origin life, look at the how many constants had to be PERFECT in the universe just so we could possibly exist.
God is a perfect God. Christians, as commanded by the Bible strive to emulate God's Son, who was also perfect. Obviously we are not perfect....but as Christians we STRIVE for excellence (or at least we should). This strive for excellence should be evident in every aspect of our lives -- everything from our job, to our marriages, to our relationships, to happily saying 'have a great day' to the girl at the grocery store when she hands us our receipt.
Have you ever noticed how many/most republicans are Christians who are in the upper income level of society? Have you ever noticed how people who are in the upper income level are the types of people who STRIVE for excellence in their given field? How they strive for success in their marriage...in their relationships, etc? Success in life is not an accident. That's why I believe many Christians lead excellent, successful lives -- because they emulate their Maker -- who was the PERFECT CREATOR, the PERFECT BUILDER, the PERFECT MIND, the PERFECT LOVE. This is one of the reason it's so GREAT being a Christian...because Christ gives us something to aim for, something to emulate.
Now what does this have to do with abortion? The problem is, you liberals are too short-sited. All you see is what you want to see. However, for us the problem is MUCH bigger than merely abortion. Abortion is the END RESULT. Christians try to teach a value system that would PREVENT the need for abortions.
At one point in our country's history we had prayer in school. We had Biblical teaching in school. We had prayer at the dinner table. We had Christians publicly sharing their faith. We had Biblical understanding on a wide-spread basis. But what's happened? The ACLU along with their disciples in the Democratic Party have undermined all this. Now what do we have?
We have MTV promoting cheap sex and girls flashing their bodies to strangers. We have prayer taken out of schools...we have God being attacked from angle in society...we have homosexual rights being promoted while Christian principles and the 10 Commandments being cursed and outlawed. We have strip clubs all over and internet p 0 r n available to children. We have Military Chaplains being stripped of their right to preach the Word in the armed forces. We're on the brink of letting homos marry each other...and God knows what else.
So now what's happening? As I see it, our country is starting to sit in it's own filth. We are reaping what we sow. And it's really FUNNY how you are blaiming US for the problem, logger!!!!!! Christians don't see abortion as striving for excellence. We don't see MTV or Snoop Dogg as excellence. We don't see OZZY or the f-word as excellence.........However, We do see teaching kids right from wrong as excellence. We do see obeying the 10 Commandments as excellence. We do see pushing abstinence as excellence. We do see adoption as excellence. We do see being responsible as excellence. We do see teaching our kids MORALS and how to respect their temples as excellence. We do see teaching and helping and educating people as excellence. But you liberals VOMIT on that stuff -- and have for decades.
You people, on the other hand, worship failure. You worship aboriton. You glamorize Brittany Spears and Paris Hilton. You promote p 0 r n o g r a p h y. You denegrate the Church and the flag and our Military. You build up welfare lines. You protect mass-murderers. You side with terrorists and Tyrants. You rip down any shred of morality....and then you have the nerve to tell us that it's the REPUBLICANS and/or CHRISTIANS who are the problem for not supporting family planning!....all the while trying to eliminate any mention of GOD or His SON throughout this country and throughout the world. Give me a freaking break. The LEFT in this country has gone bonkers on its own selfish agenda, with DEATH as its sacrement.
This country used to be blessed. I don't believe it is anymore. It has lost it's charm in my opinion....we'll half of it has. But it's only getting worse. You say family planning and fixing the environment are the answers. BullPuke. Those are only symptoms, my friend. The problem runs much deeper....and the problem is NOT with Christians. S
