Hypocrisy Over Syria




President Obama made an East Wing address to the nation about the situation in Syria, and a glaring hypocrisy jumped out at me. Here is a quote from his speech:

“The situation profoundly changed, though, on August 21st, when Assad’s government gassed to death over a thousand people, including hundreds of children.  The images from this massacre are sickening…children lying in rows, killed by poison gas.”

The President’s emphasis on the “hundreds of children” was used to tug on the country’s heartstrings. In case anyone is riding the fence, pointing out that Assad murdered children will put them over the edge. How can anyone gas children?

And that is a great question to ask. But how dare anyone look down on Assad for poisoning children yet not care that saline-injected abortions take place in this country every day!

America has poisoned more children than Assad. Millions more.

In many abortion cases, saline, a poison, is injected into the womb, causing the baby to shrivel up and die. Science has proven that babies feel the burn as the poison kills them.

The same man standing behind the podium drumming up support against Syria recently stood behind another podium and said, “God bless Planned Parenthood.” God bless the country’s leading provider of abortion?

We rightfully hate what Assad does* to young, innocent children who have their lives ahead of them. We hate how they died a painful death. But why does that hate reach around the world yet fail to make it down the street? Why is it evil in the 3rd world but “healthcare” in the 1st world?

Young, innocent children with their lives ahead of them die painful deaths inside the womb, and it is completely legal.

Finally, notice the plan of action the President left us with:

“Indeed, I’d ask every member of Congress, and those of you watching at home tonight, to view those videos of the attack, and then ask:  What kind of world will we live in if the United States of America sees a dictator brazenly violate international law with poison gas, and we choose to look the other way?”

He told us to view the videos of children suffering. That is the same reason why abortion providers fight tooth and toenail to keep their customers from seeing ultrasounds and pictures of abortions and aborted babies. They know that a picture is worth a thousand words, and exposes a thousand lies.

So take a page from the President’s playbook. Go to Google and type in saline abortion, vacuum aspiration abortion, or aborted fetus. Don’t like what you see? Then oppose abortion and vote prolife.


*This is assuming that the information we were given is correct and Assad is responsible for the chemical weapons that were used. This has not been necessarily proven yet.

The “Christians Hate Gays” Myth

During these Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) hearings before the Supreme Court I keep hearing how much Christians hate gay people. This was news to me since I am a Christian and I don’t hate gay people. I also go to church with over 1000 other Christians, and if any of them hate gay people, they sure haven’t told me. Before moving to South Carolina I worked at or attended several churches in Texas; prior to that I spent a decade going to church in Florida. Guess what? No one hated gay people. In fact, I don’t know any Christians who hate anybody. The very uniform of a believer is his love, and if a person does not show consistent love, then he is not actually a believer. Are there non-believers who hate gay people and claim to be Christian? Of course. But that doesn’t represent Jesus or His church. Equating  hateful sign-wavers with Christianity is like equating a kindergarten baseball team to the New York Yankees. They may claim to be playing the same

To Save a Life

(Like my blog about the peace symbol, this blog was written as a default response to all the parents, students, and other people who are asking my opinion of To Save a Life.) By now you have probably heard of the movie To Save a Life, which opened nation-wide in theaters on January 22nd. The movie deals with so many issues that teens face today, like suicide, cutting, drinking, drugs, premarital sex, teen pregnancy, and abortion. At first glance this movie looks like an awesome resource that we should recommend for our teens, parents, youth pastors, and youth workers. But a closer look at the movie reveals a few disturbing things. For starters, according to pluggedin.com, there are 2 uses of the “A” word, 5 uses of hell (used as a curse word), and once the “D” word is used. There are other crude terms used to describe a girl, and crude terms for referring to sexual activity. There is also a bedroom scene that shows a girl removing a boy’s shirt, then afterwards the girl putting he

The Rose of Sharon and Lily of the Valley

If you have spent much time in church you have probably sung some songs with lyrics like these: “He leads me to his banqueting table, his banner over me is love… Jesus is the rock of my salvation, his banner over me is love.” “Sweetest rose of Sharon, come to set us free.” “He’s the lily of the valley, the bright and morning star…” But are those songs biblical? They come out of the writings of the Song of Solomon, but are we to understand those lines as describing Christ? The Song of Solomon is a collection of love poems that were written between two people who were deeply in love and about to be married. While we know that King Solomon is one of the writers, the other’s name has escaped us, and we know her today simply as the Shulamite woman. Some people believe that since this woman is not named then she never existed; some teach that this book is pure allegory, only existing to serve as symbolism. King Solomon, they say, represents
