Killing Abortionists in God's Name.

In my article entitled: Christianity versus Communism American Style (Dec 4th), amidst all that I wrote were these two sentences, placing them in brackets at the end of a comment about another matter. Think about Christian anti-abortionists who attack and/or kill abortion doctors. What did they see as their reward?

Today I received this email, which included a photo of an aborted baby. I put the photo into this article, but have left it to the editor to decide if it should be included or not.

• Your comments about anti-abortionists who take action against abortion mills is in line with the pro-aborts. They do not see the unborn children as human beings and evidently you don't either. If Paul Hill had stopped a gunman going into a school to shoot five year olds, he would be considered a hero. He stopped a babykilling abortionist from murdering 36 children on the day he took action, you as others condemn him. You do not see the unborn children's lives he saved, because you do not truly consider the unborn as equal human beings with the born.

PHOTO: Another unborn baby murdered by a babykilling abortionist.

SAY THIS PRAYER: Dear Jesus, I am a sinner and am headed to eternal hell because of my sins. I believe you died on the cross to take away my sins and to take me to heaven. Jesus, I ask you now to come into my heart and take away my sins and give me eternal life. -- www.ArmyofGod.com

This email was interesting from several perspectives.

1. The photo was intended to shock or disgust me. Sorry! I'm an ex policeman! It didn't shock!
2. The email derives from the 'throw away line' in an article that was not about Abortion.
3. The immediate response accusing me of being pro-abortion was not only inaccurate but actually demonstrates the psychologies that were mentioned in the article.  The logic behind the response is that an abortionist is a murderer, and since I "condemned" this murderer for protecting innocent unborn children (did I?), I must be a pro-abortionist (am I?), and therefore, a murderer (obviously!). This is what is called projection.

There was a link in the article to a description of 'projection'. Here now is an excerpt from that article: -- www.answers.com/topic/psychological-projection

• An illustration would be an individual (Alice, for example) who feels dislike for another person (let's say Bob), however her unconscious mind will not allow her to become aware of this negative emotion. Instead of admitting to herself that she feels dislike for Bob, she projects her dislike onto Bob, so that her conscious thought is not "I don't like Bob" but "Bob doesn't seem to like me."

In common speak, projection is "accusing another person of the thing that is the problem in your own life." Sometimes it is done as deflection, so that people don't look at the speaker and discover the truth. Other times, the speaker, unable to deal with the reality of the problem in his life, and in reaction to it, spends his time "preaching against it!" The classic example given in the psychology course I took, was "the preacher who constantly preaches against pornography" but who in fact either does look at it or has a strong desire to do so.

In the article that I wrote, I asked: "What did they (he) see as their (his) reward?" The email did not touch on this question. Instead it inherently states that the murderer was right to murder and that the murderer was justified because 'murder' is a sin. Can you see the logic in that?

Let's take it a step further shall we. The anti-Iraq war crowd, accuse President George W. Bush of unjustifiably sending American troops to their deaths, and in the process, of killing thousands of innocent Iraqi people. American President George W. Bush is therefore a murderer and it is not only justifiable (in God's eyes), but morally right to "kill him."

And let's not stop there. These aborted (murdered) babies, are being murdered because some judges decided to make it legal. They are therefore responsible. Let's kill them. And other judges refuse to overturn that decision, so they are now responsible, so let's kill them. And the mother's of these murdered children are the ones who start the ball rolling, so let's kill them. But then it was the man involved who is ultimately responsible, so let's kill him (and the feminists cheered and sang waltzing mathilda!)

And let's not stop there. Abortion is mandatory in China! Let's kill the Chinese!

A murderer deserves to die! The Abortion doctor deserves to die! The Killer of the Abortion doctor deserves to die! The preachers who preach murder, deserve to die! It is true!

But there is only one judge - and here comes the crunch - he does not give you the right to murder. Neither in the Old testament nor in the New, are you allowed to take another's life except in defense (or war).

Religion is of course, the great murderer! Murder is the pastime of religion! In today's western "decent" religious sphere, "physical" murder has been replaced with "emotional" and "verbal" murder. Character assassination is quite common as self righteous people go about demonstrating their "righteousness."

I was reading an article yesterday entitled: The Pursuit of Attention Power and Ego in Everyday Life Second Edition, by Charles Derber (OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS 2000) part of which is online at about the modern preoccupation with self.

•  A generation ago David Riesman, in his best-selling book The Lonely Crowd, contrasted the traditional American inner-directed person, whose self was firmly organized around strongly held values, with the emerging other-oriented person, who had no inner core and was obsessed with winning the approval of others. Our dominant national character today seems to be a variant of the other-directed type, constantly marketing himself or herself to garner attention for a wide variety of ends. This is closely linked to needs for approval, respect, and acceptance, but suggests the stirring of an even more primitive hunger to simply be seen or recognized, as well as a self-absorption that permits little attention to others. I shall argue in the new concluding chapter that our new era is breeding isolation and insecurity that evokes among a swath of the population a consuming selfpreoccupation tearing at the fabric of civil society.

In the case of the abortion doctor murderer, his "righteousness" comes from "defending God" and the defenseless unborn children.  And yet, in the New Testament, it says that "none are righteous - not even one"; and that "all' men are sinners deserving of death." And the fems cried: Amen! Hallelujah!

As I have mentioned before, my understanding of the "primary text reading" [look it up!] of Romans and other books of the New Testament, is that there are no levels of punishment and suffering in the future fires of hell. The gossip, slanderer, liar, murderer, adulterer, homosexual and strife makers, all get the same punishment.

So next time the good Reverend who wrote me the letter decides to pass judgment on someone, he should "first take the mote out of his own eye!" Your heart Reverend is filled with "murder," and you approve of those who do such things. Therefore, according to Romans Chapter one, God will give you over to a darkened mind and all sorts of depravities, as you deny the truth of God, turning it into a lie.

And next time you accuse someone of being in support of murderers, make sure that you are not just projecting your sins onto others and in the process, exposing your own ungodly heart!
