Abortion and an angry God


Okay, the whole abortion thing has always pissed me off, but it just occurred to me that there's another (yet another) huge disconnect in modern American Evangelical doctrine. They bemoan that "Abortion stops a beating heart" as if that was the most evil, horrible, degraded, nasty thing that could happen to the little clusters of cells. How could anyone send such innocents to a ghastly, moments long torture? What sick, depraved mind could put an innocent through moments of possible pain?

Here's the funny part. They believe since that blastocyst has a soul and is innately sinful, that after being aborted, it will go to hell for billions and billions of years.

Now THAT'S sick and depraved.

(BTW, my point is NOT that if you have an abortion, your fetus will go to hell for all eternity (and therefore abortion is to blame), it's just that I wanted to point out what these compassionate followers of Christ think will happen to aborted fetuses, Jews, Catholics, Mormons, Hindus, Muslims, Unitarians, Episcapalians, Zoarostrians, Buddhists and anyone else who doesn't ascribe to their particular, narrow definition of the saved. What a bunch of assholes.)
