A View on the Silent Screams and Cruel Casualties of Modern-Day Genocide

The trial of Kermit Gosnell has brought to light the true face of the victims of abortion. It is also a fine time for us to read and share a horrific description of what happens during a legal abortion procedure as recalled by former director of a Planned Parenthood office in Texas Abby Johnson in her book “Unplanned”:

At first, the baby didn’t seem aware of the cannula. It gently probed the baby’s side, and for a quick second I felt relief. Of course, I thought. The fetus doesn’t feel pain. I had reassured countless women of this as I’d been taught by Planned Parenthood. The fetal tissue feels nothing as it is removed. Get a grip, Abby. This is a simple, quick medical procedure. My head was working hard to control my responses, but I couldn’t shake an inner disquiet that was quickly mounting to horror as I watched the screen.

The next movement was the sudden jerk of a tiny foot as the baby started kicking, as if it were trying to move away from the probing invader. As the cannula pressed its side, the baby began struggling to turn and twist away. It seemed clear to me that it could feel the cannula, and it did not like what it was feeling. …

My eyes shot back to the screen again. The cannula was already being rotated by the doctor, and now I could see the tiny body violently twisting with it. For the briefest moment the baby looked as if it were being wrung like a dishcloth, twirled and squeezed. And then it crumpled and began disappearing into the cannula before my eyes. The last thing I saw was the tiny, perfectly formed backbone sucked into the tube, and then it was gone.

All the training she went through merely blinded her to the reality of what she was a part of. Then there on that gray scale screen she literally came face to face with the disturbing truth. Thank God that it was the first and last time she was actually involved in an abortion herself.

Gosnell worker testifies: Baby being ‘aborted’ ‘screamed… like a little alien’ (In fact, the illegal worker commented that she identified the babies as “specimens” to make it “easier to deal with mentally”.)

Two great articles about the impact this case is having on even pro-choice people:

From Roe to Gosnell by James Taranto (Wonderfully points out the Orwellian doublespeak that fills so-called “pro-choice” rhetoric. You can also read of the sadistic, experimental device Kermit Gosnell was responsible for inserting into the wombs of 15 women nearly 40 years ago.)

Tampering with the Lock on Pandora’s Box

Same-sex marriage proponents think changing the definition of marriage is a tiny, insignificant action. However, there will be severe, far-reaching consequences should they be successful in the US and around the world…

Recently, Rob Bell came out to voice his support of gay marriage, saying:

“I am for marriage. I am for fidelity. I am for love, whether it’s a man and a woman, a woman and a woman, a man and a man. And I think the ship has sailed. This is the world we are living in and we need to affirm people wherever they are.”

Well, Rob Bell et al. just so happen to also be on a ship… a sinking one.

Will the grave of the human race be dug by apathy and silence?

A Revealing Hyperskeptic Placard in Mid-preparation Soon to be Deployed in Some Anonymous City Near You

click on image to enlarge

The genius composer and iconoclast Frank Zappa once remarked that there should be a billboard in every city that says, “I doubt it.” The hard-boiled atheist that he was, he crystallized the job of the (hyper)skeptic well. All that is required is every time someone claims something, just say “I don’t believe that” or “I doubt it”. One of us Christian apologists might spend hours researching into a question one such skeptic has, looking at multiple explanations and multiple refutations, then considerately and sincerely present the results to such a person. They then merely need to say, “I don’t believe it” or “I doubt it” and continue along their way, oblivious not only to the work a Christian apologist just put into their question, but also to the fact that somebody probably asked it long before they did.

What is made apparent pretty soon is that the problem isn’t the amount of evidence for a claim (Can you ever have all the evidence for anything?), it’s a question of presuppositions. This in itself is interesting since arguing about a point entails that you think it is significant or worthwhile. However, I find that some consider the points they argue with such fervor so insignificant that one is confused on why they are hard-pressed to argue their point.

Thankfully, many legal systems don’t operate the way hyperskeptics do. Jurors the world over are pressed not to focus merely on what is possible (since everything is, really), but on what is reasonable. And that is the true enemy of the hyperskeptic who seems content to maintain their skepticism in spite of the evidence and the unreasonableness of their conclusions.

A perfect example is the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. What have been the alternative explanations given to explain the evidence we have?

For nearly 2,000 years people have provided answers for objections to the explanation that best fits the facts, even as early as the second century in the works of Origen. “Jesus was a copy-cat myth. Jesus was this. Jesus was that.” As the pitifully (or intentionally?) lazy director, Peter Joseph, of the Internet video sensation Zeitgeist have proven, some skeptics aren’t at all interested in having their questions answered. They are content with promoting a type of hyperskepticism that serves their presuppositions and is impervious to any previous history.

Beware that this sort of incurable skepticism will make its way to a city near you… if it isn’t already there.

Drinking Songs of the Future

In the past, some viewed life as “but a dream”. Some people and religions consider life a nightmare from which we are to escape. The latest variation is that some theoretical physicists have proposed the idea that Universe is actually a gigantic hologram. While the idea does reek of bad L. Ron Hubbard-esque sci-fi, money has been thrown at it; a million dollars actually. Then an experiment injured the theory (wording makes it unclear whether or not the theory is still a viable one), while, apparently, nobody (?) told Hogan et al. that a European satellite already existed which could be used to test the theory. (Wonder if any other worthwhile cause could have used a million US dollars?)

Some may ask “What difference would it make?” I understand the sense of the question. It probably wouldn’t change one thing about how I personally live. If The Matrix has taught us anything it’s that mentally unstable people react quite differently to ideas like these. I think the more uncomfortable question for those who adhere to a strict materialistic explanation in conjunction with the holographic theory would be: If the Universe is merely a holographic projection, then who made the projector?

Thoughts?

A Jovial Juxtaposition

Remember that many brilliant scientists merely made it possible for humans to obliterate each other more efficiently, indiscriminately, and with less blood. Is this called “progress”?

Additional Note: Historically, people have used BOTH science and religion as a means to harm, suppress, and kill fellow human beings.

The Crusty Cork In the Ear of Christianity’s Critics

Dedicated to all those “open-minded” people who are content with their mistaken understanding of the central message of the New Testament — Jesus. The crusty cork has long been embedded. Sufferers do not open themselves up to allow in any bit of fresh air (the results of nearly 2,000 years of intense scholarship). Instead, they remain content, maintaining that erroneous information, like fine wine, only improves with age. Consequently, their heads are filled with mere rotten liquid.

There is no grand new objection, no great new revelation that can defeat the ever-increasing, ever-clearing picture of who Jesus was and is — the Son of God and the Savior of the entire world.

An Alternative Explanation for the UFO Phenomenon

There’s an increasing level of buzz about some sort of “grand disclosure” coming to the world in the near future, a day of disclosure whose nearness depends on who you’re asking. Simply put it involves governments acknowledging the existence of aliens and UFOs and giving “evidence” of them. Even Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell speaks boldly and confidently about the existence of aliens in public! And many other people that believe in aliens think that the UFO phenomenon throughout the past 100 years is the result of aliens slowly making themselves known in order to prepare humanity for that day.

They fail to convince many of us.

However, why not entertain alternative theories? What if Earth, being near the center of the galaxy (as more and more scientific evidence points), is the final, ultimate destination of alien tourists?

One thing is sure, the reports involving alien interactions are almost universally negative, pardon the pun. The probes, the implants, the abductions, the abortions — these things seem to indicate that if aliens are real, they intend to hurt people, not help them, which may reveal to us their true identity. How appropriate then that alien should begin with “a lie”…

By the way, if you are ever abducted, call out to Jesus. Researchers have found it ends any abduction… immediately.
