Watching the BBC this morning highlighted for me once again the absurdity of society's attitudes towards the unborn child. The nonsense of a society which gets sentimental and emotional over too many kittens or puppies without a home, or older animals having to be put down, or over the hunting of foxes, is infinitely frustrating when at the same time it is happy - enthusiastic even - to sanction the abortion of the unborn human child. When are we going to get a grip on reality, and on the seriousness of murdering our own children before they are born, and see that human life is incomparably more valuable than the life of an animal? As an animal lover I would condemn cruelty, of course, but my love as a Christian is more for my fellow human beings - those called to share in the life of God - than it is for an animal whose purpose is fulfilled in this world.
What does it say about our society when we hate our children so much that we are happy for them to be killed in the womb? What does it say for society when we are not prepared to take responsibility for our own actions which are the reason for that child being conceived in the first place? What does it say for society when we preach tolerance towards all, rights for all, and yet the most vulnerable are denied any place in that society?
Modern attitudes are absurd and the truth has been twisted. I see society's approach to life as certainly subject to satanic influence - no revelation perhaps! It is the very nature of the Evil One to skew the truth, to turn upside down and inside out, to distort. So that, yes, we stand up for rights and freedoms, but not our real rights and freedoms but a perverted version of them. How can any thinking, feeling, sensible human being prefer the life of an animal to the life of another human, another child of God?
