Blogito ergo sum.

Amid the catalogue of Israel’s sins that brought down their final judgment as a  nation was this: “They sacrificed their sons and daughters in the fire” (II Kings 17:17).

As unimaginably abhorrent and disgusting as this practice was, there was at least a certain perverse nobility about it: (a) they did this as a practice of religious devotion, because their gods required it; (b) this represented a genuine sacrifice for them, because extended families were their main protection against poverty in old age.

Nevertheless, despite their sadly misguided religious zeal, “…the Lord was very angry with Israel and removed them from his presence” (v. 18).

Fast forward to 21st century America.  Since 1973, we have aborted over 40 million of our sons and daughters – and not for religious reasons, but purely for the sake of personal peace and affluence.

Child sacrifice is probably a sign of a society that is sick unto death, is a cancer within the human race, and needs to be removed before it metastasizes.

If past is prologue…then America, like Israel, has made the Lord very angry, and we will be removed from His presence.

Voters in California, Colorado, and South Dakota voted against various restrictions on abortion.  Not good.

Voters in Maryland approved gambling, in the form of slot machines.  Not good.

Voters in Michigan approved permitting embryonic stem cell research and medical use of marijuana.  Not good.

Voters in Washington approved physician-assisted suicide.  Not good.

Voters in Arizona rejected stiffer penalties on employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens.  Not good.

Voters in Massachusetts and North Dakota rejected tax-cutting initiatives.  Not good.

Voters in Florida, Arkansas, and California approved bans on same-sex marriage.  Not good, in the sense that Biblical morality shouldn’t even be up for a vote.

God, have mercy on us.

Not that I like it…but when the Baby Boomers bankrupt Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare, there will be only a few choices:

1. Raise taxes.
2. Cut benefits.
3. Kill off the old people.

The Baby Boomers were the generation who killed off 40-50 million of their children (who would have been taxpayers) through abortion.

Be sure your sins will find you out.
