Lake Of Fire...

       This monument was put up at the Catholic church by my place...

      It made me think of a movie I watched a little while ago called Lake Of Fire...

     As you can tell by the trailer it's about pro-life/pro choice abortion battle in the States and the religious lunatics that fuel that fire. I realize it's a complicated issue and the only thing I can really say after seeing the movie is the same thing I've always thought-- It should be left up to the woman to decide. That having been said I had a couple of thoughts during the movie that nobody ever brought up...

    The fanatics that are supposedly pro-life are usually "born again Christians." From my own reading and personal experiences with church, most of mainstream Christianity worships a God that rewards believers in his son Jesus with a mansion in heaven and provides a place of eternal and agonizing torment for all non-believers. No need to sugar coat it, that is the bottom line message at the heart of Christianity.

    Try to follow my logic here. There was a statistic in the movie that stated since Roe vs Wade  

in 1973 an estimated 35,000,000 abortions have been performed. Since roughly 1/4 of the worlds population is Christian, let's say for the sake of argument that had they been born only 8.75 million of those 35,000,000 would have been Christian. That would mean that 26.25 million people would wind up as more hell fodder. If life begins at conception as they say it does (I'd have to agree) and God knew you before the womb then if that fetus was aborted would it not go straight to heaven and avoid all the trials and tribulations (not to mention risking a one way ticket to hell) here on earth? It seems to me anyway, that the whole point of the Christian religion is to try to get to heaven so wouldn't you basically skip a step? 

    This might be way out there as well but let's say you're a church going, God fearing Christian couple and you've decided to have a baby. You might want to think long and hard if you want to risk bringing that child into the world because as hard as you try, there's a good chance that person may not grow up to share your beliefs and they could wind up in hell also.

    As crazy as these Christians seem sometimes you can't fault them for taking the bible literally. For them it is the infallible, unfaltering word of God and misguided or not they're acting on what they believe.

    There are scenes in the movie where abortion doctors are shot. What happened to "Thou Shalt Not Kill?".... Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition...
