Anti-abortionist convicted of murder… but did he protect any babies?
Roeder admitted he stalked and shot to death Dr. George Tiller, 67, on May 31 last year as Tiller attended church in Wichita, Kansas. He argued in court his actions were necessary to protect unborn babies. “Abortions were being done every day,” Roeder testified. “My honest belief was that if I didn’t do something they would continue to die.”
This guy Roeder killed an abortion doctor last May in the town I was raised in – Wichita, Kansas. That’s where I was thoroughly indoctrinated in one of the more fundamental Christian dogmas while attending the First Church of the Nazarene on East Kellogg Street. Part of what I was taught was that if a child dies before it reaches the age of accountability it goes to heaven. Yep. Straight to paradise, bypassing all the crap the rest of us have had to live through.
Holy shit! Do you know what that means? Think about it.
It means that this guy Roeder – and I’d bet my free pass through the pearly gates he’s of the Christian persuasion, though I don’t know which flavor – didn’t save any babies at all. Instead he has condemned them to a life on Earth! Now instead of being ushered straight into paradise they’ll be born, where more than likely they’ll grow up and suffer through school, dating, marriage, a job they can’t stand, disease, and for the majority of them, die and go to hell.
The majority you ask? Sure. Just ask the next Christian you meet what percentage of adult Americans are going to go to heaven. The last one I asked (though it’s been many years ago) said she thought it would only be 10%. That means 90% of us had better start packing our asbestos skivvies!
So from an orthodox Christian perspective who was protecting babies, Tiller or his murderer Roeder? Tiller had a 100% salvation rate. And I know that’s better than Billy Graham’s or even Jimmy Swaggart’s.
All this kinda makes me wish I’d been aborted. Cuz if I had been I’d be in heaven now instead of… well I think you all know where I’m headed.
