Culture of Death Posted: 11-22-07 18:46pm
I have a few questions.
first of all, Christians have been
battling the culture of death for 2000
years, we opposed such things as Abortion
and "exposure" (leaving babies outside to
die of cold, heat, thirst, hunger or
animal attacks) that were evident in the
roman empire at the time. We have
suppressed the anti life thinking in
society since we became the state religion
of the first world. Now however it seems
to have re-surficed and with some
vengance. There are abortions,
infantacide, ethenasia, embryonic
reaearch, human cloning, Cross
fertalisation so on and so forth.
What are the possible implications for a
society that continues on this path?
How deep does the Culture of Death Go what
other things does it encompass?
what seems to be the root cause?
How do we combat it?
What battle grounds are we still yet to
come across?
What can we do, if nobody listens to us,
what if we have exhausted all possible
peaceful solutions?
would a "just war" be invokable by the
vatican as a last resort?
As witnesses to the biggest crime against
humanity ever, what are we to do?

The only thing we can do is to pray for
these people and to live life as good
chirstians.

Is praying really the only thing we can
do?
What does living as Good Christians
encompass in regards to the culture of
death?
Are we to become such a "thron in the
side" for the authorities that they kill
us like they did with Jesus and those who
showed us how to be examples of Good
Christians, like St Peter and St Paul.
One of the saints said, pray as if
everything depended on God. Work as if
everything depended upon you.

Guest I think the ministry you do is well
enough for the cause. Don't worry about
the authorities but concentrate on helping
funding for the charity homes for the
pregnant teenagers out there.
We can't stop madness out there. The evil
is always taking away hearts. But remember
evil is never stronger than goodness. And
I tell you this, I have yet to know
someone who has done bad on earth and
getting away with it. In the end it comes
back right at you.

"Love thy neighbor. "
But in this case, I have to love both
neighbours, the weak and defenceless one
being killed, and the one doing the
killing, we have to protect the children
the innocent, was not the holocaust in
itself justification for the allies going
to war?
