My question: Who is going to stop the genocide and get justice for the babies killed?

Your answer: Certainly not people who take the law into their own hands like Hill!

I hope you're not saying that when faced with an issue that puts the government's position at odds with God's position that man's laws should supercede God's laws.

Why not? Man's laws apply equally to everyone, and must be followed or legal sanction results. All citizens are treated equally before it.

God's laws, on the other hand, apply only to those who subscribe to whatever particular religion whence they spring. They also have no means of Earthly enforcement. Thousands of different religions exist and are represented in America. However, in a Republic, only laws agreed upon by the majority have any hope of having effect.

A Christian's laws mean nothing to the muslim; his mean nothing to the animist. Man's laws, however, apply equally to all, and are agreed upon by majority vote in our system.

Whatever religious laws one believes in, their obeyance is strictly voluntary. The nation's laws, on the other hand, are not only enforceable but mandatory.

Paul Hill violated those laws. He murdered two people, and said that he would have killed more, including police officers, if they got in his way. He NEVER appeared sad about being "forced to take action"; instead he reveled and gloried in it. He had snide grin right up until the end, enjoying his perverse notoriety.

This places him solidly in the company of OTHER losers who sought such attention...like Ted Bundy, Richard Ramirez, and Usama bin Laden. he just had a different excuse, one which some misguided souls were more than happy to indulge.
