Yeah, everyone seems very chill about it. Things are being done, demonstrations even. Big whopee. the public gets upset every second week from this mass shooting or that where ten or twenty people are gunned down and there are again demonstrations.

But the scale, million murdered children. Nobody thinks that way. What kind of news value would some mass shooting be when during the same week 19000 children were already murdered.

You think if the government went and started to gather 19000 school kids each week and murdered them people would just take it as granted talking empty platitudes about laws and hoped it would pass sooner or later ?

Of course not. There would be a revolt and insurrection. Probably not civil war because it is hard to see anyone fighting for government that did that to children.

But there is none of that because people don't really believe that fetus is a child. You can lie to yourself about it all day long but as a society it is not a consideration.

True. They also, through no choice of their own, support wars and bailing out high end investors.

You don't seem to grasp the the difference between how people act and react and that statement.

Well whatever. Further clarification is clearly futile and pointless.

Have we of the western culture, especially Christians, ever questioned why we are so quick to condemn an attack on those we consider our own (like the Ukraine), yet say nothing for the million civilians killed in Iraq since Sadam, the millions displaced in the Middle East by oil and religious wars, or the treatment of displaced Palestinians, let alone concern for the goings on in the rest of the world? Perhaps it is a case of it's ok to question the actions of others but not the same actions of ourselves. Even Putin is caught up in it thinking his country's Christianity is real while ours is not, as he wages his holy war guided by a new Rasputin of the Church. Who is right... or perhaps both are wrong. It seems it is the same old story of the choir preaching to the choir. Yet...


Matthew 5: 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
