It shouldn't be forgotten the devastation of human life that has taken place in Spain recently. I feel the need to mention it above all the news below since clearly it should take precedence. My prayer is for the families and that God be glorified in this situation. How soon we all forget.
Woman Accused of Murder for Refusing a C-Section
In an attempts to save one of twins born to Melissa Ann Rowland, doctors insisted she have a cesearean section. When Rowland refused, the baby was stillborn. She is now in jail charged with criminal homicide and child endangerment (un-related). Of course now people are charging that she is mentally ill in order to discredit this story. Critics are already talking about how this case may seriously affect the defense for abortion rights since Rowland is being accused of killing her unborn baby. Sounds rather familiar doesn't it? The pro-choice message is not only wicked, it's also illogical.
PETA Shows How Evil they Truly Are
Here in Seattle, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is notorious for taking every opportunity they get to indoctrinate the minds of children. Today they waited for school to end outside a local middle school here in Seattle and greeted exiting students with signs that said "just say no to meat" and handed out fliers talking about meat pimps and meat addicts. The whole purpose of their message was "eating meat is like drug addiction". In addition, they handed out pens made to look like syringes wih red ink symbolizing animal blood. The whole heroine/meat comparison is just low. The principal was not happy, charging them with being racially insensitive to the high population of African American and Hispanic students at the school. Forget that. This is not an issue of racial insensitivity. PETA crossed the line when they tried to assert themselves over the rights of the parents of these children. If my child came home with PETA pamphlets, I'd be LIVID. In spite of the principal's wishes, PETA, not doing anything illegal, refused to stop. Last year they handed out fliers to kids saying, "Your Mommy Kills Animals". Funny, if those fliers said, "Jesus is Lord, repent and be baptized" the ACLU would be on the case. Somehow, PETA gets away with murder even though they're against it. This organization is blatantly corrupt and psychotic. It's a religion and they push their agenda on kids for a reason. Somebody's got to touch this generation and if we don't, PETA, NAMBLA, GLAAD, and Planned Parenthood will.
Britney Spears' New Show Too Racy
Tonight Britney Spears was in Seattle for a concert and parents are outraged over the graphic nature of her concert. Apparently, she simulates sex acts and takes it too far. I suppose "too far" is relative right? Britney's latest CD boats songs about sexual promiscuity and masturbation, but simulating a sex act on stage, now that's taking it too far. Now parents are calling for concerts to have different ratings. This is ridiculous. I have a couple of thoughts on this matter.
- Britney Spears hides behind smoke, sex, fancy outfits, sets and dancers because she does not have the vocal ability or talent to carry the stardom she's achieved by faking it.
- Any parent who sent their 13 year old daughter to a Britney Spears concert expecting a clean show is in serious denile.
- Any parent who allows their child to listen to a girl sing about masturbation and sexual liberty shouldn't have expected anything different from her concert.
- The ratings system in our society is a joke.
- Ratings and Parental Advisory Warnings were created for parents who don't want to do their job.
Okay, enough doom and gloom. God is doing fantastic things on the Earth. Although it seems I sometimes critique the negative aspects of our culture, these are the very same things that get me excited about the work of God. What an awesome opportunity we have as believers to make God's presence known in these above areas. Oh how we need it!
