I should have worded that a little differently. And I agree that the church, by and large, hasn't lived up to their responsbility in teaching the people. I think the reason for this is that many church's have embraced an "issues" based brand of topical teaching instead of a systematic teaching of the Bible and its application to daily life. But that's a blog for another day....You said: "rape has nothing to do with sex"--I know the point your making, that rape is more about a power trip than anything else...but its not true to say "rape has NOTHING to do with sex" because rape, by defintion is forceable sex. While you're right, that the deeper problem with rapists may not be of a sexual nature...but we still legislate against the act of rape because it harms others. The same is true for abortion. You said that criminalizing abortion can be done, but we have to start with Christian leadership. I agree that Christians need to lead the charge in this area, which is what many of us are attempting to do. But I don't think we should wait until everyone is on board before we seek legislative restrictions of such an abhorent act. Yes, we teach. But in the mean time, we do what is right. Will it fail as prohibition did? Perhaps. But we should make our decsions based on right and wrong, not on the unknown potential consequences of doing the right thing....As for God-haters...in Romans 1, the Bible talks of those who have so embraced sin that God has essentially handed them over to the sin they have sought. It lists several aspects of such people including their "hatred for God" (see Romans 1:30). You can see hatred of God manifested in many ways in our nation today. From the atheiststs who refuse to even admit God exists...to those who so despise God's Word that they violently protest against Proposition 8 in California...To those who re-define God into something that appeals to them more than the God who is revealed in Scripture. Why do they do this? Because they hate the God of Scripture that calls some of their pleasures "sin." Furthermore, Jesus was hated by many in his day, and he assured his followers that others would hate them because of their assocation with him. (see John 15:18-19) Thanks again for your comments, Shane I agree with you that not all “intentional removal of life” is murder. I should have worded that a little differently.

]]> Comment on Thomas Sowell’s Excellent (And Easy To Read) Book On Understanding The Economy by Shane http://kastlercommentary.com/2008/10/08/a-great-and-easy-to-read-book-on-understanding-the-economy/#comment-2921 Shane Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:42:50 +0000 http://kastlercommentary.com/2008/10/08/a-great-and-easy-to-read-book-on-understanding-the-economy/#comment-2921 Turfkiller, did you read the book? I'm guessing not. Sowell's book isn't about "trickle down economics"--its about free market capitalism and the dangers of government becoming too involved in market manipulation. And there are just as many wealthy democrats as their are republicans...if not more...who look out for their own pocketbooks above all things. The fact is we're stuck with Obama now...and I doubt McCain would have been much better. We'll just have to watch closely and see what happens. But Sowell's thesis stands...as a general rule government control leads to financial duress. The current housing crisis is a perfect example of that. Have a good day, Shane Turfkiller, did you read the book? I’m guessing not. Sowell’s book isn’t about “trickle down economics”–its about free market capitalism and the dangers of government becoming too involved in market manipulation.

You have given me much to think about over your ideas and beliefs and my ideas, beliefs and articulation of them. One of my earlier comments had not been moderated but it sounds like more of an oversight then intentional. I am not going to go over every detail but the process from sex through birth is not perfect. Medical advances have helped increase the chances of success for those who want children and made it safer for those who do not. It’s motives and intentions that make the difference between medical abortion and abortion murder. “..intentional removal of life..” is not always murder. There are very good reasons and many different degrees of murder and manslaughter when it’s done for the wrong reasons. It’s just not as simple as all abortion is murder. While killing is intentional but soldiers have different motives and so it’s not murder. Soldiers kill innocents but it’s not murder. There are medically valid reasons for aborting a child or one or more in multiple births but we both believe that many abortions are performed for immoral reasons. How do we separate the good from the bad? This is where we as parents, spouses and our churches have failed. Mother’s are motivated to kill children for many reasons. Some may be obeying their parents. Others may be hiding their unfaithfulness or protecting their life style. In the book titled Grand Illusions, The legacy of Planned Parenthood George Grant starting on page 199 describes an incident where reputation was the motivation. In counseling the other Pastor, George Grant failed to accept and celebrate the new life but bemoaned and grieved. We don’t ban sex to ban rape. We criminalized rape knowing that rape has nothing to do with sex. Is banning all abortions without regard for any cause in an attempt to stop those with immoral and criminal intentions is no different than the Prohibition era and just as likely to fail for the same reasons. Rape has nothing to do with sex, murder and manslaughter have nothing to do with killing and medical abortion has nothing to do with immoral abortion / abortion murder. All of these involve intentions and motivations. How do you criminalize abortion murder? How do we control medical abortion and all the ethical questions that entails? I think it can be done but first leadership and moral teaching needs to start with each Christian. Leadership is failing. Another example of Church failure are the Roman Catholic Bishops who this week“ . . . approved a new "Blessing of a Child in the Womb." The prayer seeks a healthy pregnancy for the mother and a plea that "our civic rulers" perform their duties "while respecting the gift of human life." The Bishops need to direct this more to their congregations. They have failed to teach “that the only differences in people are the things they do when things are wrong.” Bishops have failed to teach, demand or ask fathers and mothers in their congregations “What will you do when your wife has another man’s baby? Your teenager is pregnant what will you do? “ instead they focus on the Supreme Court and government to solve the problems they have in their own Church congregations. They have no faith in their congregation and obviously less in the teachings and examples of Jesus. Finally, I have never found a God-hater. I find a lot of hypocrisy, those who just don’t care and a lot of bumper sticker Christians. I don’t know who or what you mean by God-haters. I’ve backed up on gay relationships and need to reconsider my basic questions and presuppositions. My comment on implantation would have been better stated as future medical advances that are yet to be discovered and was not about stem cells. “harvesting of embryonic stem cells” sounds horrible.

Thank you for your time and prayers. I promise to keep my comments much simpler and make it easier for the both of us to converse and follow. Dear Shane,

I ALWAYS post (and welcome) comments that disagree with me. The only reason I moderate is to eliminate the spam ads. Now for your arguments concerning abortion… 1. A new life has begun at the moment of fertilization. With your comment on implantation, you seem to be delving into the stem cell issue, and the harvesting of embryonic stem cells with the intent to use medically rather than allow them to mature. The very fact that they’re able to grow and mature, proves that they are living organisms…of a human persuasion…and the intentional removal of life is thus murder. Just because they’re small and out of sight, doesn’t mean we can kill them. 2. I agree that “medically necessary” abortions are rare. But when they occur, an ethical dilemma arises as to who shall be allowed to live…the mother or the child. A doctor’s goal should be to do all within their power to save both. If he could kill the child and save the mother. Should he? What about if he could kill the mother and save the child. Should he? Sadly, most would be appalled at the latter, but have no problem with the first scenario. 3. I answered this one with number 1. 4. You said banning or outlawing abortions would not stop them. You’re right. But the same could be said of rape. Should we legalize that also? What about assault and battery, stealing, etc.? We have laws against these things, but they still happen in “dark alleys”—that doesn’t mean we should legalize it. We cannot make moral decisions in such a pragmatic way. If we take that approach we will end up justifying anything we choose. We must determine whether something is right or wrong (acceptable or unacceptable) and make our laws accordingly. I agree with you that many churches have failed in teaching basic morals. This is because many so-called churches are “churches” in name only and they have abandoned the teaching of the Bible. A full-orbed Biblical faith will affect every aspect of our life, and some churches are guilty of only addressing political issues, when they should teach the whole counsel of God. As for the abortion/murder/gay marriage argument. You’re right that gay marriage is no marriage at all. But its because they are attempting to “re-define” what marriage means. Murder is defined as the taking of an innocent life. And that is exactly what abortion does. By not calling it murder you’re denying the reality of the act. Which is actually closer to what the gay marriage defenders are doing. As for my “hate-speech”---In your initial comment you accused me of “hating”--- By citing my quote of “God-haters” you took a phrase I used to describe how some people view God and used it to describe me. I don’t hate anyone…but some in this world clearly hate God. In closing, I’m glad to hear that God has touched your life. I’ll pray for you as you continue to seek more and more of His truth.

Abortion as being practiced here is by in large reprehensible. My presuppositions are: 1. Abortion is not murder. Abortion can only be committed by the mother but can be aided and abetted by those surrounding the mother. 2. Abortion may be a medically necessary but that is very rare. 3. While believing human life starts at fertilization appeals simply, there is at least one additional step necessary, implantation in the womb or maybe some day a growth chamber. 4. Banning, outlawing and prohibition will not stop abortions but makes them extremely risky for those who can not pay enough cash for them. As most abortions are morally and ethically abhorrent, I return back to the question of why a mother would kill her baby to avoid the consequences of birthing. Even as a father, I have to wonder why anyone would support a mother killing a child of mine. If a wife was unfaithful would she feel secure enough to carry the baby to term and what kind of father would we be to the baby? Mothers make these decisions based on convenience, fear, embarrassment, careers and I have to wonder what is happening to our society and how it is over riding instinctive and natural behavior. What I see is a failure of the churches not in banning abortion but failing to lead on basic moral values. Banning abortion will not fix the failure of religion and church to teach by example but only sweep the problem into the alley. Our churches failures to lead on basic moral values lies primarily not so much on mothers but for fathers, husbands, families, parents and society, laws and regulations. This is evidenced that by most women who have abortions are members of various religions and churches. For example, I do not support gay couples being married. Gay couples need a different name for their unions and their relationships regulated. Calling abortion murder makes you no different than gay couples calling their relationship marriage. Not moderating comments that are disagreeable is an appropriate response. Not moderating comments you disagree with is intrinsically hate speech. Everyone should wonder how many comments have not been moderated. Specifically you first words “God-haters” make my claim of hate speech. The Lord has definitely touched my life but He has burden me with improving and developing my articulation and reason. I hope the Lord will burden you with moderating my opinion. Shawn,

Did you even read the article? Your comments about "hate speech" and "wall of separation" only sound like liberal talking points. There is no "wall of separation" found in the Constitution....As for my "brand" of Christianity, its the Biblical "brand" that embraces Christ as Lord, and no others. Any other "God" is a false "God" and should be discarded for the idol that it is. And how would you know how much praying I do at home?
