“Jesus never once said anything about abortion.” This was said by Joe Scarborough on MSNBC.
And Jesus never said Joe was a jerk, but … .
To me that seems to be an incredible comment. Can anyone imagine that the son of God, creator of all living things, would even have a thought of killing one of his beings? But yet this line of thinking has permeated the souls of the political left so deeply that it may have an impact on the upcoming elections. Imagine, we have gone so far from the Ten Commandments (“Thou Shalt Not kill”) that we would consciously look for representatives to govern us who would vote to kill unborn babies.
OK. I get it. There are those who do not believe there is a God. But consider for a moment that the Ten Commandments could be just some guidelines to happy living. They could just be a recipe to live a life of peaceful coexistence with our fellow man. If we ignore “Thou Shalt Not Kill,” then what other harmful deeds to our fellow man will we be willing to enact? And where does it stop? Old folks? Children not performing to expectations? Wrong color beings?
This is not the America I know. This is definitely not the land of the free and the home of the brave. It is more like the Russia and the China we read about in our history books … the results of communism.
Maybe that is what we have come to. Only we can decide.
