Okay, so I'm watching O'Rielly, and he's talking about Obama. The basic discussion is how well we know Obama and his core beliefs. Bill is talking to Dr. Lamont Hill. (I just want to say this is not about Obama, it's about Dr. Hill) and Bill mentions that Obama says he was introduced to his christian faith through Rev. Wright and how would he reconcile his christianity with his stands on abortion rights. Well, Dr. Hill says it's not a problem because abortion rights are consistant with true christianity. The fundamentalists have it wrong when they say the bible stands against it. Bill is floored and askes Dr. Hill is he thinks Jesus would agree with the far left approach to abortion. Dr. Hill states that Jesus would be even further on the left!
Wait! I know that just when you think you've got things figured out, someone will surprise you anyway. This "guy" Hill is a loon. I don't know what bible he's been reading from. If God says he knew the prophet Jeremiah before he was born and indeed knew even the number of hairs on his head, this seems to make God's position is that once conceived, you are a person, and therefore granted the right to live long enough to make a decision for or against faith. It follows, then, that abortion is murder because it interferes with this right. This is a foundational idea and Dr. Hill, if he has had any study, if not belief, in Christianity should know this.
This guy is just a loon and always surprises me on how far out he is. It doesn't help to know he is teaching young people in college.

I've never heard of him...but it does make sense that Obama might not agree with you on abortion because he's not a fundamentalist. There are plenty of Christians that are not fundamentalists and are not against abortion (and especially there are plenty who don't believe the right should be taken away, even if they themselves would not have one). Weren't you the one that was just saying on your blog that you want government to stay out of people's business? Guess that doesn't apply to abortion, huh.
Although I always appreciate your comments, sometimes I just don't think you really read what I write. I didn't say anything about Obama not sharing my ideas. I was talking about Dr. Hill and his twisted view of Christianity. Also the post was not about whether or not abortion should continue to be illegal. The bible teaches of the sanctity of life and you will not find anything in it to support abortion. This is a theological discussion and not politics. Yes, there are some branches of christianity that don't have a problem with abortion, but they are not walking down the right path. Very similar to the ones that believe homosexuals can serve as priests and ministers. Even the Catholic church is against abortion.
Now, politics. I do want limited government interference in our lives. However, declaring that abortion on demand is not murder and the "right" of the mother and not the baby (Roe V. Wade) is just such government interference in the form of sanctioned murder. I'd like to see it overturned which would lessen the amount of government interference.
By the way, is Fay coming near you guys? I hope it gives up before it does. Be safe and I love you.
Women have _ALWAYS_ had the right to choose, to not let themselves get pregnant in the first place if they do not want a baby! Is that not enough?!
