Greatest Killer - War or Convenience?

Each morning I receive a news mailing from israelnationalnews.com (Arutz Sheva). While reading an article there how the Israeli government approved a homosexual couples adoption, I was noticing on the side the different links for reparative therapy and couseling for homosexuals.

I also noticed an add at www.friendsoferfat.org, which had a banner stating that 50,000 babies die annually in Israel due to abortion! I thought, "That's insane! I'm sitting here, keeping up with all this news about the war going on in and around Israel, being covered by many media, reporting on the deaths caused by all the bombings and katusha rocket attacks, and it pales in comparison to what the peoples are doing in comparison to themselves!"

If you have high speed access, the video is good at www.friendsoferfat.org. And while all the killings done through abortion far surpasses that done of any wars, here are a few sobering reminders about ourselves:

- Of the 1.6 million abortions performed in the U.S. each year[Talk about insane!!!], 91 percent are performed during the first trimester (12 or fewer weeks' gestation); 9 percent are performed in the second trimester (24 or fewer weeks' gestation); and only about 100 are performed in the third trimester (more than 24 weeks' gestation), approximately .01 percent of all abortions performed.
- Approximately 1.5 million U.S. women with unwanted pregnancies choose abortion each year. Most are under 25 years old and unmarried. Women who are separated from their husbands and poor women are more likely to choose abortion than other women. More than two-thirds of the women who seek abortions have jobs. Nearly one-third are in school. More than two-thirds plan to have a child in the future.
- Approximately 6 million women in the U.S. become pregnant every year. About half of those pregnancies are unintended. Either the woman or her partner did not use contraception or the contraceptive method failed.

Certainly we are to aim for peace and reconciliation among the nations. But if we want to stop the biggest form of murder, we need to focus our efforts against the abortion industry, and insist that our government support abstinence-only education. My wife has repeatedly pointed out how if we could keep one of God's commands, we'd not have divorce, broken families, STDs, aids... The wages of sin is death... but praise God, the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. For all of you who have, and for this who will have abortions, there is forgiveness and a new start for you in our gracious Lord Jesus Christ. "Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God." 1 Corinthians 6:11

Feminism's empty promises...

Many of you know of Dennis Prager, who is a syndicated talk show host in LA. He had a recent article talking about why many more women than men find themselves depressed. If we all could just get this message to the masses!


Unless one believes that women and men are the same and therefore the same things bring them happiness, the feminist emphasis on career has been an obstacle to many women's happiness. As a rule, women derive most of their happiness from relationships, not from work. Men need both to be happy far more than women do. Men's very identity is predicated on their answer to the question, "What do you do?" Whether fair or not -- to either sex -- virtually no woman's identity is dependent on what she does for a living. That is why, while both sexes suffer financially from the loss of a job, when men lose their jobs, they often also lose their self-worth as a man. The greater importance of work to men is also manifested in their willingness to work many more hours than woman.

Homosexuality, Not 'Homophobia,' Is Health Risk

I found this interesting report by the FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL:

Some startlingly honest quotes from researchers who have studied the health of homosexual men were published by a "gay" newspaper in Michigan last week. Speaking of one study at a conference of the American Public Health Association late last year, former U.S. Centers for Disease Control researcher Ron Stall, Ph.D., M.P.H., said, "You had a syndemic [interconnecting epidemics] situation going on among a group of men, 80 percent of whom were college graduates, three-quarters of them were white, who were living in some of America's richest zip codes, and yet they had a health profile that looked like they were living in a favela [hillside slum] in Brazil." The gay newspaper article blamed these health problems not on the choice to engage in homosexual conduct, but on society's "homophobia." Yet that "homophobia" obviously wasn't severe enough to keep these men from getting college degrees and earning enough to live in "America's richest zip codes." Another CDC researcher, Richard J. Wolitski, stated that homosexual men report being victims of childhood sexual abuse at "rates that range between 12 and 37 percent [which is] much higher than rates for other men, which typically range from 1 to 4 percent." And those who "came out" as "gay" at an earlier age were the most likely to have had "forced sex before they were 18." Isn't it time we acknowledged that a cycle of sexual exploitation, not homophobia, is the source of these harms?

I mean... how does one person's disagreement of opinion with another inflict disease and STD's?

Blinded by Desire?

I just came across an article reporting on the rates of sexual promiscuity among universities in the UK. What's striking is that the article and the first lines state that those who have the most sexual partners have the worst results in sexual experience.

A survey from one of the country's top universities has revealed students who have the most sex get the worst results.

The online study published in the student magazine Varsity asked over a thousand members in various colleges at Cambridge University in depth about their sex lives.

It revealed students at poorly-performing colleges are more likely to be sleeping around.

And I think this is tied to the skyrocketing amount of depression, use of anti-derpresants and suicide in universites. Could all this scientific evidence lend to suggest that in fact we are not created for more than one sexual partner?

What irks me most about the article is that going on down through the article, the author obviously doesn't take this view. He goes on to celebrate the types and styles and locations of sexual perversion that is taking place.

The Bible clearly tells us that we were created for one life-long partner in marriage, to bring about and raise children who fear Yahweh and follow His ways, not their own.
"For this reason a man leaves his father and mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh (not twenty-three)." (Gen. 2:24)
