Doubling up

Posted by Jesus on April 18, 2007

I’ve got a couple of topics today. Normally we try to pick one thing and stick with it, but today I need to do a followup on something written back on Good Friday and touch on another major development in the US regarding abortion. If I had to make a decisions I’d say the latter is more important, but due to your human proclivity toward only learning when appropriately punished, the former is more likely to impart a valuable lesson, which is the overall purpose for our being here. In the end they’re both important, so pay attention.So how many of you remember the whole thing about the Catholics in the Philippines who whipped themselves and got intentionally crucified on Good Friday? if not I’d suggest taking a moment to go back and catch up. In what can only be described as a mellow mix of Dad’s creativity and adherence to His own punishment principles, it appears that many participants face possible contraction of rabies as a result of their actions. Who says Dad doesn’t try new things now and then?

From the article:

Dozens of men who whipped and cut their backs for a gory Good Friday ceremony in the Philippines risk contracting rabies after a fellow flagellant died of the virus earlier this month.

The men shared a blade to rip their skin before flaying it to a pulp with a bamboo whip in the northern province of Pampanga. The ritual, which also involves voluntary crucifixions, is meant to mark the suffering of Jesus Christ.

Now don’t take this wrong, because I’m never amused by suffering of any sort - still, I can’t help but laugh a little bit about this one. It’s sad and horrible that anyone would have to suffer through rabies vaccinations or, worse yet, death from the disease. You can’t help but smile though. Here these folks are putting themselves through the worst possible pain in order to get my attention and to prove to everyone (including themselves) that they have faith enough to withstand such a pain, and for all of their troubles what do they get? A miracle? A bountiful harvest? Healthy children for their clan? The answer is none of the above. What they get is rabies. How can you not laugh a little bit about that? When people make up their own rules about how to serve and honor Dad you get rabies. Simple as that.

Now, to the official topic for the day. Most of you have probably been made aware and told how to feel about the ruling of the Supreme Court yesterday regarding partial-birth abortions. For those who haven’t, the court yesterday upheld the ban on abortions which required that the baby be pulled partially from the woman before its little head is crushed. Of course this court didn’t go so far as to ban all abortion, which is necessary if America wants to come into alignment with Dad’s law, but it does mark an important step in the fight to eventually rid the world of all killing of all babies which are born in a Christian society. What those folks do in hindu-land or under the flag of a muslim nation is their own business, we’re just interested in Christian babies growing up to be Christian soldiers.

From the article:

Concerned Women for America (CWA) applauds the Supreme Court decision today to uphold the federal ban on partial-birth abortion. The court has voted in favor of protecting the most vulnerable members of society from inhumane and extremely painful death. This is a crucial step in protecting innocent children in the womb against all forms of killing, not just the most excruciating.

Wendy Wright, President of CWA, said, “In this landmark decision, the Supreme Court concurred with the majority of Americans that partial-birth abortions are gruesome, inhumane and never medically necessary. This ban exposed an abortion procedure too grisly for most Americans to stomach, too inhumane to be done on even convicted terrorists, and yet was being committed against defenseless babies. Abortion is deadly to the child and dangerous for the mother.

Abortion is one of those topics which can’t be covered in one post during the course of one afternoon. There are always going to be occasions in which complications due to pregnancy threaten the mother, so it’s difficult to suggest that medical intervention is never justified. While the largest majority of those cases could be cured with prayer and/or adhering to Dad’s overall rules and/or simply allowing one’s self to perish, we’re quite sure that medically-oriented abortions have their place. The problem is that Dad planned a total of five instances where abortions were justified, not the five bazillion you people are getting. Well, I suppose that’s sort of incorrect - Dad did plan all five bazillion, but He’s only going to allow five of them to count as non-damnable offenses. Yeah, that’s much clearer. Use that one.

Of course the talk in America is about how this was purported by the new Justices loaded to the bench by George Bush. The old court, or even a slightly more liberal court, it is suggested, would never have upheld this ban. This is also wrong. The Justices you now have seated are there becuase Dad wanted them there, just as George Bush is President because Dad wanted him to be President. When Justices chosen by a man who was chosen by the people who were chosen by Dad to put him in power make decisions such as this Christians are supposed to recognize their own part in getting it done. In fact, it’s not the Supreme Court who ruled in favor of continuing to ban painful baby deaths, it’s the voters who chose Bush. Those who voted the other way or didn’t vote at all have failed in their attempts at getting more babies killed and in ever more painful manners. Sorry.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that this is a win for our team. When the Supreme Court does every now and again take up a cause intended to better the lives of Christians, even if by making any decision whatsoever those Justices violate completely and utterly the stance of the 9th and 10th Amendments to the Constitution, it can only be seen as a good thing. Rights and allowances are important, as are systems intended to ensure that the Constitution is not completely eroded, but more important is the will of the Religious community. Majority, minority, or fringe collective, our size and our stance need not matter. What is important is that we’re right, and that the Bible, a 2,000-year-old book constructed of pieces of parchment found scattered to and fro, says we’re right. No amount of logic, discussion, judgment, or rationalization is going to change the fact that the Bible is more important than the beliefs of any number of people, no matter how strongly they cry out in opposition. The Supreme Court seems to have made the same realization, choosing to side with individuals who live by the Bible as opposed to individuals who side with so-called scientific facts and unadulterated, blind reason.

Another few wins like this one and I can totally see this court, with these same Justices even, paving the way for a return to Old Testament Law. Only then will your Supreme Court and its counterpart in Heaven City be reconciled in their decisions. What a day that will be!

Oh, and as to the comment, “too inhumane to be done on even convicted terrorists,” I’d like to clear up any misconceptions now; nothing is too inhumane to do to them. Like I’ve told George a hundred times, the Geneva convention and rules of war don’t apply when Dad’s got your back. Same goes for their punishment. You’ve got God on your side, get creative!
