How do you feel about the ritual slaughter of babies by abortion that is promoted by the left?

Blind accusations are such a bore. Please look up my posting history, and find the umpteen number of times I've posted an old table depicting the annual per-capita statistics of abortion all over the world. Again, the original comment was not by me, but I found it on FR, using the same algorithm described before, and present on my home-page.

We have discussed ad infinitum in a prior post and thread the utter irrelevance of this Samuel quotation that referred to a call for vengeance for events that occurred four centuries before the timeframe in which the quote itself is cited. Quite apart from the utter disingenuous nature of this line of reasoning it exposes a form of interpretation bereft of scholarship.

This quote was inserted to reflect that even a God may have an unfettered vengeance for a tribe that killed another innocent tribe. Indeed, one does not have to go to Samuel. The Book of Exodus speaks of every first born being killed as the Angel of Death “passed-over” the homes of Jewish slaves.

Without a serious study of Old Testament sources, a clipboard cut and paste job of disparate quotes is as relevant as a colloquy in the Hindu Gita where a re-incarnated god called Krishna who takes the form of a disguised charioteer and who, not unlike the mythical Zeus, demands a massacre of another warring faction for their evil deeds. Release the Kracken.
