This guy is supporting himself on money from the abortion industry. What a joke! I wonder if anybody (other than the AJC's Cynthia Tucker) would ever go to hear him preach a "sermon."

What an idiot. The Bible clearly says that man shall not kill innocent life. It also reveals that God is the author of life. Abortion is rebellion against God and murder.

Both sides should get behind a "save the unborn" movement, if we all decided to end miscarriage, like we eradicated smallpox or polio. An estimated 1/4 to 1/3 of the preborns are aborted spontaneously..that's 1-2 million preborn babies a year! We wouldn't stand idly by if a million children a year died of a new strand of smallpox.
Part of the indifference to the abortion issue stems from our disregard of human life before birth in general.

The issue of abortion is not about whether life starts at conception. There are convincing arguments either way.Really? Life begins at birth, nine months after conception?
Absolute double talk and deceit from a spokesman for the multi-billion dollar baby-murder industry.

"Does a God of love and life ever support war? Does such a God understand that some innocent civilians will die when we fight to protect our freedoms? In other words, does God approve when we make the decision to kill other people to protect our quality of life?"
If this guy ever picked up an Bible and read it, he would know the answer to these questions!

In practice, there are other questions we must ask. Does a God of love and life ever support war? Does such a God understand that some innocent civilians will die when we fight to protect our freedoms? In other words, does God approve when we make the decision to kill other people to protect our quality of life? What about when we kill to prevent genocide? Does God have a holy balancing scale that weighs intangibles like "intent" and "the greater good" or one that compares the number of innocent lives lost against the number of innocent lives saved? Is this freak drawing a parallel between the atrocities of the Saddam regime and the lifestyle change that a woman who can't get an abortion (and, for some reason, can't or won't put her kid up for adoption) would be subject to?

Let me see if I get this highly advanced, academically certified theological thinking straight. It's OK to murder a baby in the womb because it might threaten my lifestyle. But it's not OK to kill an enemy running at me and my neighbors with a sword, threatening to cut off our heads, because we should give peace a chance.
Oooooookay.

Absoloute nonesense, like the rest of the article. Replace "Christians" with "Muslims" and no paper in America would have printed this.

How else could we spend millions of dollars to oppose abortion --- despite no clear biblical argument for or against it --- Oh, really? So that "Thou shalt not murder" thing in the Bible doesn't include babies?
Stunning. Yet another liberal who can't see any difference between killing an absolutely innocent baby for the convenience of its would-not-be mother, and fighting a war to protect ourselves and others from murderous tyrants.

So does pretty much any agnostic person. Most people are pretty utilitarian, but they recognize there is a moral difference between intentionally killing someone who harms others for the greater good and intentionally killing an innocent for the greater good. It looks like this guy needs an injection of Kantian morality: view all people as ends in themselves, not means to one's own ends.

If my experience as a pastor is any indication, it is unlikely that the driver of either car would be making their point from the kind of complex theological arguments I learned in seminary. Umm that kind of attitude went out with the reformation..

For every Christian with a "God Bless Our Troops" sticker on their bumper there is another with "Who Would Jesus Bomb?" on their rear windshield.No, there's not.

I don't suppose any of you would be surprised to learn that his website has links to the ACLU and pro-homosexual sites.
I didn't think so.

I just love seeing Hitler dance around his own socialist logic.

This little Nazis pastor is due for a crime against humanity trial.

Does God have a holy balancing scale that weighs intangibles like "intent" and "the greater good" or one that compares the number of innocent lives lost against the number of innocent lives saved? I suspect he does. Unless you believe that accidentally killing German civilians while trying to stop Hitler is the moral equivalent of intentionally putting children into ovens.
William F. Buckley points out that this argument says pushing an old lady under a bus is no worse than pushing her out of the path of a bus. In both cases, you're pushing old ladies around, which is wrong.

Figure this joker realizes there are some of us non-Christians out here that oppose abortion too? How does he explain us away?
