Especially at Christmastime, how deplorable to see the gang of old men who hang around at Fifth and Henrickson avenues with signs against abortion “in Christ’s name.”
These people need to take the logs out of their eyes and read the actual words of Christ, who had a lot to say about hypocrites who parade their “virtue” in public to hide the spite and selfishness in their hearts.
What words would he write in the dust at their feet, before he let them shame and bully poor young women in trouble? What will he say when they cry “Lord, Lord”?
There’s nothing in the Bible about abortion. There is, however, a Commandment against adultery, and another against false witness.
For the sake of stopping abortion, these “Christians” voted for an unrepentant adulterer, sexual predator and habitual liar. Jesus was clear about how his followers are to treat the poor, but these “Christians” voted to cut all the programs that benefit poor women and children. They have no moral high ground left to preach from.
Why aren’t these “Christians” working to end the sexism and poverty that led to abortion, or helping children already born? Easy to stand around on the sidewalk feeling self-righteous, but all they’re doing is alienating people, driving them away from the church.
