Look in kindly judgment on the decision we have made

I find myself wondering if these, uh, people (I use the term with some hesitation) have ever bothered to crack open the Old Testament and understand it. God has already rendered his opinion of child sacrifice. When the Kingdom of Israel practiced by offering up their children to Molech, he sent the Assyrians to utterly annihilate them as a people.

That's his "kindly judgement" on that particular "decision".

During my last year in the Anglican Church, the quickest way for me to be excoriated was to quote from the Old Testament, such a quaint document, and have people say to me condescendingly, "Well, aren't you precious for knowing those verses?"

This is the church that couldn't muster enough votes to affirm its own classical faith documents at the last General Convention. I left because it finally sunk into my brain that voting on doctrine is totally absurd.
