From today’s reading...
Herod was furious on realising that he had been fooled by the wise men, and in Bethlehem and its surrounding district he had all the male children killed who were two years old or less, reckoning by the date he had been careful to ask the wise men.” Matthew 2:16
Killing innocent people is horrible.
Killing innocent children is reprehensible.
Killing innocent children in the womb is deplorable.
Forcing us to pay for killing innocent children in the womb is inexcusable.
Two thousand years ago, there were probably six to ten to maybe twenty boys under the age of two in “Bethlehem and its surrounding district” that an overbearing ruler slaughtered.
In 2018 alone, 619,591 to 862,300 babies were ripped from the wombs of their mothers in the United States, many of those killings paid for by you and me via taxation with crappy representation.
That doesn’t include the extra 22,250 overdose deaths in the 12 months ending in April 2021 as reported by the CDC and likely attributable to the lockdowns, shutdowns, and isolation protocols forced upon our nation by the same overbearing rulers who funded the baby slaughter.
So please, by all means, be offended and upset and repulsed when you ponder the actions of Herod 2,000 years ago, and use that as your starting point to be even more offended, bitter, and appalled at how we treat the unborn and our children today, which is the only way to...
Stay the course.
Keep the faith.
Endure.
Now go sell something.
