All in all, your criticism of ecumenism is...Clint,<br /><br />All in all, your criticism of ecumenism is refreshing. I share your distaste for the COEXIST propaganda.<br /><br />Unless you have actively participated in an abortion, I don't see how anyone (regardless of their perspective) could consider you to be a murderer.<br /><br />In general, I find comparison of historical atrocities to be a problematic angle. For one, there is no "equating" these things in the Christian worldview. Biblically, two wrongs don't make a right. So no, we are not justified in killing doctors anymore than rapists or serial killers. Besides, how can we (Christians) be sure which modern genocidal practice offends God more?<br /><br />Secondly, fair consideration of empirical facts should cause one to question/reason the accuracy of the history that we perceive to be. (ie by any statistical measure Hitler was no "better" than the 3rd worst "genocider" of the 20th C)<br /><br />Thirdly, I would point out that progressives like yourself are quick to champion the efforts of men like MLK, Lincoln, Jr Rockefeller, W.Wilson, Churchill, FDR, LBJ and the like while simultaneously (and rightly) villainizing those like Marx, Bismark, Lenin, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot... By what standard can you embrace the former and condemn the later? These men all believed that the conduit for their idea of social justice, cultural ideology and the forthcoming of the Kingdom of Man be administered through the modern secular (messianic) state. Render unto Caesar... Make no mistake, the enlightenment is about bringing forth the kingdom of man.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02185649468646640812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20989339.post-90504740506999643372011-02-04T19:06:45.997-05:002011-02-04T19:06:45.997-05:00This was, without question, was the funniest thing...This was, without question, was the funniest thing I have read this month.

However, if you expect to say this to me directly do not be surprised when you are met with serious criticism, irritation and offense.<br /><br />Your comment brings up another point I think is important and was not able to address in the post.<br /><br />The intellectually consistent conclusion for believing that abortion is truly murder leads to the justification of murdering doctors, women who have had abortions, and pro-choice supporters. There is no way around it. If you believe one doctor will single handedly murder thousands of innocent lives over career then you are morally obligated to stop this the same as I am morally obligated to oppose, even with violence, the systematic murder of living humans.<br /><br />This is the danger of unfounded beliefs and the reason we must all start with social pressure.Clint Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00726223936040053389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20989339.post-44005799527463111452011-02-03T19:45:34.818-05:002011-02-03T19:45:34.818-05:00i found this one to be a tuff balance

No matter what you believe on the matter, it's obvious Flannel_Justice believes that an abortion is the killing of a human person.<br /><br />2. If what Flannel_Justice believes is correct, then his comparison of abortion to the Holocaust is accurate and not exaggeration.<br /><br />He has come to a conclusion on the morality of abortion, and argues from the position of that conclusion; it's a simple if -> then. If an abortion is the killing of a human person, then the legalized practice of abortion is of equal horror to that of the Holocaust.<br /><br />Now, you may argue the morality of the act, but with knowledge of his standpoint you cannot argue his conclusion based on that standpoint.thoumyvisionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969046614894999384noreply@blogger.com
