Killing to Protect the Children

 

Does anyone but me see the irony here?

 
At least the assassins of abortionists--men like Paul Hill, or Jim Kopp, et al--could claim they were killing abortionists to stop the murder of unborn babies.  But I see nothing but satanic irony in murdering abortion abolitionists like Jim Pouillon because the murderer says he is trying to protect the children from having to look at the pictures Jim carried.
 
And based on his own testimony that's exactly what the man who murdered Jim Pouillan rationalized as he pulled up in his car and put either 6 or 10 bullets (the accounts vary) into his body at point blank range.  To him, he was protecting the children.  Just like the abortionist assassins believed they were protecting the children, the murderer of Jim Pouillon believed he must protect the children, must be the protector of children.
 
And Jim Pouillon's murderer did all that after he had spent his entire life collaborating with the legalized slaughter of children symbolized by the mutilated fetus-child Jim Pouillon displayed on the sign he was carrying when he was murdered.
 
Talk about BEEEEE-zaaaaar.
 
Gulliver never traveled to a land like the United States of America today.  And there is a reason why.  To imagine such a land as ours would have been beyond even the most fertile and offended imagination of Jonathan Swift in the eighteenth century.  Only the 21st century could breed minds among whom the "logic" of Jim Pouillon's murderer would resonate and lead citizens across the nation to nod and agree that Jim Pouillon was asking to be murdered by exposing children to the pictures he carried.
 
And Christians are making it all possible.  Were it not for the Denial that has afflicted Christians, it would be impossible for the rest of the world to degenerate into such insanity.  Christians have become the infecting agents of the mental illness afflicting the body politic in this nation.
 
What am I saying?  This: the murderer of Jim Pouillan was acting on behalf of the great majority in this nation--Christians included.
 
Oh, most Christians will cluck, cluck and say it was a tragedy that Jim was murdered, but the same people will be quick to say Jim was totally wrong to show children the pictures of bloody and/or mutilated aborted fetuses.
 
Wrong to show the best evidence of the horrible abortion murders that have been legalized in this nation?  Wrong to show the little children who are about the only people in the nation who have not already been brainwashed into collaborating with their slaughter? And Christians lead people to believe it is wrong?
 
Face it: The reaction of the majority of Christians is exactly like the majority of pagans: nobody--or hardly anybody--wants this nation to have to face the pictures that reveal the bloody evidence that proves the faces and mutilated bodies of the things we call "the fetus" are in fact and in reality and before God Almighty the least of His children.
 
Why does the vast majority work so hard to avoid facing the evidence?  Why do people work overtime to spin rumors that the pictures are not what they appear, not the pictures of mutilated little human beings?
 
Here's why: We the people in that secret place below ordinary consciousness, that place where corporate thinking occurs--that place where much of the thinking of our species occurs--know that we have tinkered with the most dangerous Force in the universe when we the people tolerated our government legalizing the slaughter of any and every unwanted baby conceived by God in this nation.
 
We shouldn't be surprised we have reached this place of Denial as a nation, and as Christians.  After all, we came by it naturally.
 
After all, we are the great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren of the same Christians who rationalized that their Lord Jesus Christ would tolerate this nation holding other people in chattel slavery.
 
It's obvious that this generation of Christians is not the children of Old John Brown.  In fact we are anti-John Brown Christians, ever capable of castigating anyone who has the audacity to ACT like he is the agent of a wrathful God determined to protect the least of His children.
 
Not only do we not act like the children of John Brown, we don't even act like the children of the Lord Jesus Christ.
 
We act like the children of the flesh--proud, defiant, and murderous.
 
The only really positive thing I can see as I look around me today is that even if people find it easy to deny the existence of God and/or the power of His Spirit because of our example, the existence of Satan is validated virtually every day in this demon infested nation.  That's at least a start toward the truth.
 
And this seems to be the truth we're headed toward: sometimes you can't get the pus out until the boil gets squeezed very hard.
 
If I can't get an Amen, can I at least get an Ouch?
