When human persons become objects to be disposed of for parts, we have simply embraced a new form of slavery where an entire class of persons has become less than human.
Without a doubt, the alliance of Christian believers with any political movement will always be a fragile one. We're witnessing that in 2008.
The writer is intelligent and yet wrong. What he is proposing is the old “liberation theology” that many priests bought into in the Central American wars that involved communists.
He is a genuine Pro-Lifer, but he declares the “religious right” dead, which is premature. He advocates the same tired “social justice” calls that actually mean more government spending on social problems. He attempts to link this to being a good Christian.
It is relevant as there is some of this “theolgoy” being accepted by the Huckabee Evangelicals. To me it is a scarey movement but they are free to make that choice...but as my tagline states...don’t be confused with being a conservative. There is nothing conservative about it. More importantly, I think Christians are being led down a wrong road with thise “new” theology”. The wrong road is taking the focus off of the gospel and salvation and placing it on doing “good” by advocating huge government programs.
This is definately worth debating and I’d like to here both evangelical and Catholic viewpoints on it.
