Today is an interesting juxtaposition of the modern effort to kill" faith fought through the U.S. Supreme Court as compared to a similar first century effort of Nero Emperor of Rome to kill" faith.
Killing Faith" is always accompanied by victims. Today June 30 on the Calendar of Saints is set aside to remember the early Christian martyrs who followed the fate of St. Peter and St. Paul victims slain under Neros command.
Victims in the battle against faith are often beheaded crucified and burned at the stake. 
What about the victims of this modern American battle? Liberals maintain that these victims are the more progressive" people in the country who deserve their choice" to handle embryos fetuses and the pre-born according to their conscience."
Liberals would have us believe the Supreme Court decisions announced in the past week are a tragic loss for America. Liberals denounce Christian opponents as the radicals…trying to impose their faith on the culture.
If only those pesky noisy irritating Christians would go home and pray in their bedrooms! They should consider themselves lucky for being able to wear their silly crosses at work (for the time being). Dont they realize they could be living under Nero…or Hamas?
Clearly Christians are a thorn in the side of secular humanists" who see nothing wrong with partial birth abortion much less contraception. Up to now these humanists" have succeeded in maintaining partial-birth abortion as a choice." And if they have to rewrite the American Constitution to achieve this? It seems they consider this a small price to pay.
Maybe one day we will be able to honor the blood of millions of tiny martyrs in the battle to defend the dignity of human life in the Land of the Free. Does anyone remember what was revealed in the trial of Dr. Kermit Gosnell?
In 2011 Gosnell and various co-defendant employees were charged with eight counts of murder:
The murder charges against Gosnell related to an adult patient Karnamaya Mongar who died following an abortion procedure and seven newborns said to have been killed by having their spinal cord severed with scissors after being born alive during attempted abortions. In May 2013 Gosnell was convicted of first degree murder in the deaths of three of the infants and he was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Karnamaya Mongar….He was sentenced instead to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
What did the Gosnell trial teach us? How does this illuminate the tremendous victory today at the Supreme Court for Christians who are able to truly live out the foundational truths of their faith? And what does this portend for the future?
- Free speech Yes even Christians have the right to speak in America. Remember that wonderful liberal right to choose?" Yes you can choose to listen…or not. Ear plugs can purchased at your pharmacy even as you pick up your prescription for birth control.
- No According to Websters Christian is not yet synonymous with bomber. Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has declared it legal for Christians to walk about the country" you will have to meet them with honest factual information instead of court orders. We have established…once again…that America is a land where the free can battle freely on the field of ideas.
- Yes Maybe one day Christians…and many other non-Christian people who value life…may convince the culture at large that killing even one little infant in Gosnells clinic is evil. If that horrifies a liberal…you can look back to the days when Christians said that owning even one slave was evil. Evil is evil. Evil is not defined as a democratic choice."
- Finally Evil…when it is legal…is still evil! Evil…when it is approved by the majority…is still evil! Does anyone remember Hitler Stalin and Mussolini?
