Where There is No Respect for Life, Evil Flourishes
American Thinker ^ | 10/19/23 | Steve McCann

The heinous actions of the Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023 can unequivocally be described as evil. It had as its genesis the inculcated belief that Jews are malevolent and subhuman, therefore, they are deserving of death, destruction and being conquered by any means possible including the unconscionable and premeditated slaughter of women, children and the elderly.

Throughout the history of mankind unscrupulous leaders and their disciples have exploited mankind’s base nature as exemplified by what the Catholic Church defines as the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. These human failings invariably lead to a near-irreversible loss of respect for human life and in due course a society riddled with uncontrolled evil.

The loss of respect for life has also begun to dramatically infiltrate the American ruling elites and the overall society as over the past two decades the following, previously unthinkable, changes have occurred within the United States:

* Unfettered abortion up to the point of birth and post-birth infanticide has become a policy position of the Democrat Party.

*Euthanasia is openly discussed and supported by an ever-growing (73%) segment of the population.

* Sexually confused teens are being coerced into mutilation and permanent disfigurement in order to appease the gods of transgenderism, accompanied by an unabashed campaign to legalize pedophilia.

* A significant plurality of Americans is demanding the censorship, imprisonment, and persecution of their political adversaries while they, and recent Islamic immigrants, are openly supporting and justifying the slaughter of Jews by Hamas.

* Tribalism has been mainstreamed and with it the belief that certain ethnicities or races are inferior to others and also responsible for society’s ills, therefore, they are deserving of disrespect, abuse and discrimination.

The path the United States is presently traveling will inevitably lead to the darkening shadow of unfettered evil descending upon the land leading to national self-destruction.

Respect for life is not just a religious value, it is a foundational value of all societies in which reasonable people would want to live. Those who see mankind as having dignity just because they are human, believe that respect for life requires they do not intentionally kill, abuse or torture another human being.

Abortion has been legal since 1973. Neither political party has worked to stop it. I don’t see Republicans working to put an end to it, so why blame just the Democrats? Seldom do I hear even the churches or Christians speak out against it.

Estimates are approx 80 million human babies have been killed in America. It is National Suicide.

Is this not an American Holocaust? Yet we close our eyes to it.

We were shocked at what happened last week to babies in Israel, but not shocked at what happens here every day.

Something very wrong. My belief is we are seeing the rapid decline of this nation because of this continuing evil.

” Where There is No Respect for Life, Evil Flourishes”

I’ll bet the 60+ million babies murdered in the US since Roe vs Wade was enacted would agree with that statement.

Don’t call me names please. Be civil.

I’m talking about the leadership. It has been going on for over 50 YEARS !!!

It looks like it may become a Constitutional right here in Ohio.
