When life is not valued...

Has anyone noticed the irony?

On Monday, President Obama signed an Executive Order to remove limitations on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. This will lead to the death of thousands of our fellow Americans for the purpose of "research" funded by your tax dollars.

On Tuesday a man kills 12 people in Alabama in a senseless shooting rampage.

On Wednesday a man kills 15 people in Germany in a school.

How do you like this brave new world in which we live? It's little suprise to me that when we show no respect for the dignity of human life, little by little society crumbles to the point where individual citizens also show no respect for the dignity of human life. We can't have our cake and eat it too.

On Monday, we have the leader of the free world deciding who lives and who dies.

On Tuesday, we have a gunman in Alabama deciding who lives and who dies.

On Wednesday, we have a gunman in Germany deciding who lives and who dies.

Oh God,
Forgive us for our lack of respect for human beings created in the image of God. Particularlly, forgive us for our apathy and for our failure to speak out concerning these matters. Help us in America to value life once again. Help us to see that each and every person no matter their size has intrinsic value because you formed them by your hand. I pray that this Nation will turn once again to Christ...Her only hope.

A lot of voters have a lot of explaining to do

We now have a President who has displayed his utter contempt for fragile human lives existing in the form of frozen embryos. By undoing the Bush rules on stem cell research, Obama has ensured that there will be still more death. He appears to have no moral compass whatsoever as far as this issue is concerned.

The sad thing is the fact that many people predicted this very thing. The only thing I can deduce from this is that most Americans (read people who voted for Obama) either were ignorant concerning the basic contents of Obama's morality (a transgression without excuse) or they really don't care too much about protecting human life. Either way, these voters including Christians I think, have a lot of explaining to do.

At any rate, Obama's lack of protection of human life is pathetic and unexcusable.
