So it is, generally, with post-bellum moderns.\u00a0 But, truly, we cannot deride the slave-world of the past.\u00a0 We got nothin’ on them; we are surely not less decadent.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is not the butchery of an innocent person a greater crime than the enslavement of him? “Modern,” “enlightened” and “civilized,” we are yet decadent sinners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How about those euphemistic, deceitful terms we use: “property” back then and “reproductive choice” today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ah, but there is forgiveness for the murderesses today as there was forgiveness of the manstealers of the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Human “progress” – without regard to God’s word is uncertain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Equality”? How does that fit in with our view of in utero<\/em> people? Projecting today’s terminology in reference to children in the womb, we might retrospectively view black people of the antebellum times as “dark blobs.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n But today, babies of all colors are just “blobs of tissue.” Light or dark, we dispose of them all the same. Equality! (A progress of a sort.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n We don’t enslave people anymore under the principle of “property rights”; we murder<\/em> people under the principle of “reproductive rights” – a lying perversion of truth and justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The decadence of humanity continues to display itself with plenty of evidence. But truth lives and salvation may be availed by those who repent and follow the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A.m. on 24 Jan., 2023<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So it is, generally, with post-bellum moderns.\u00a0 But, truly, we cannot deride the slave-world of the past.\u00a0 We got nothin’ on them; we are surely not less decadent.\u00a0\u00a0 Is not the butchery of an innocent person a greater crime than the enslavement of him? “Modern,” “enlightened” and “civilized,” we are yet decadent sinners.
