Read the article about which Gary Habermas, PhD (Distinguished Research Professor & Chair of the Department of Philosophy at Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary) said, “I have hung on to it since you sent it, & plan to keep doing so”: Historical Jesus – Two Centuries Worth of Citations.

During a brief respite from my critique of Rev. Dr. Mel White’s assertions about homosexuality, Christianity and the Bible I posted the essay below, on abortion.

Interestingly, this past weekend I read an article that drew a wholly fallacious correlation between homosexuality and abortion. Thus, I thought to make mention of it before continuing on with Rev. Dr. Mel White.

Ellen Goodman wrote an article entitled, “Women Who Abort Retreating to Closet.” She correlates homosexual marriage with abortion in claiming that one is becoming increasingly accepted and out closeted while the other is becoming increasingly obscured by a closet door that is at best, ajar.

She writes:

“_how fast attitudes toward gay right have changed. And how fast the public image of gays has gone from San Francisco flamboyance to suburban sobriety_Stanford law professor Pam Karlan was the first to compare changes in the last two decades. ‘Gays have come out of the closet,’ she said, ‘and women who’ve had abortions have gone back into the closet.’ The long slow process of ‘coming out’ means that today nearly everyone knows someone who is gay_The long slow process of ‘going back in’ has meant, in Karlan’s words, that ‘we don’t always know that we know someone who’s had an abortion.’ Has the invisibility of these women made it easier to chip away at their rights?

Interestingly enough, Ellen Goodman employs the term “abortion” without defining to what she is referring. Thus when she writes, “The analogy is far from perfect, a I will hear from every pro-life reader who equates abortion with murder” what other option are we left with? Abortion is, on one level, taking purposeful actions which seek to ensure that a human being is kept from living out their lives. This action which is specifically meant to end a human life is referred to as a “right.” A right that is right along side of a right to marriage, according to Ellen Goodman. As a person who loves homosexuals I find this shockingly offensive.

Ellen Goodman continues,

“Yale historian George Chauncey says, ‘There are_almost no sympathetic characters who are getting abortions.’ Hollywood’s heroines from ‘Juno’ to ‘Waitress’ to ‘Knocked Up’ barely think about it.

How sad, Hollywood think about abortion but not enough. Considering that in abortion we are, typically, dealing with the purposeful and brutal murder of a beautiful, healthy, innocent and defenseless human baby-how is such an act supposed to inspire sympathy? Well, it inspires sympathy for the little baby. Where is concern for the baby in Hollywood.

Ellen Goodman continues,

“Moreover, the narrative of same-sex marriage ends with the sound of a champagne bottle popping at a wedding. An abortion, on the other hand, may be followed by an assortment of emotions, but certainly not joy.

What does she propose that an abortion end with friends and family in the clinic sipping champagne and taking family photos? Family photos minus one actually. Does she propose that gay marriage ceremonies end in a blood soaked clinic with the mutilated corpse of a human being, being disposed of like so much outdated ground beef?
Who knows, but now you can see the appeal of the post below on “Sacred Abortion” which turns a subhuman, inhumane, inhuman act into a ritual blessing.

Ellen Goodman continues,

“Abortion was legalized on the grounds of the right to privacy. And so it remains private. But the more private it is, the more we think it only happens to someone else, someone ‘unlike us.’ The more unlike us she is, the less public support there is for the right.
Abortion rights slip away as the woman slips out of sight. Here is the conundrum in the closet. For all the lingering opposition to same-sex marriage, being gay is losing its stigma. Having an abortion is being more deeply stigmatized.”

Perhaps it should be explained this simply to Ellen Goodman: gay marriage is when two like gendered people who love each other make a legal/spiritual commitment to spend their lives together-no one dies.
Abortion is when a woman somehow finds herself pregnant even though she did not want to be pregnant and since the beautiful little baby in her womb is viewed as an obstacle to her she works hard to earn enough money to hire a “doctor” to make sure that the person whom she knows is within her doe not continue living-no spending a life in love together.

While abortion is one of the, if no the most deplorable act that human being have ever conceived women who had abortions still need love and forgiveness.

Thank our Lord God and Savior the Messiah Jesus for offering forgiveness-He will forgive you.

Below is a video of Richard Dawkins being interviewed by fellow atheist Andrew Denton (transcript is found here).

This video will automatically play parts 1-3.

Part 1 begins with neo-Pagan-atheism.

Dawkins also plays the role of Woe is me, they say that I am arrogant but I am not; now to the clip of a mean Christian calling me arrogant.
They show Ted Haggard being quite reasonable and they did not bother showing that Dawkins had likened Haggard’s church service to a Nazi rally—part of the reason that I gave Dawkins the Reductio ad Hitlerum award.

Circa 0:8:30 into part 1, Dawkins runs out of steam, gets that deer in headlights look and stammers into areas where he obviously ought not.

He was asked about a statement he made during Douglas Adams’ funeral. One thing that they did not note is that Dawkins had told the, by then obviously deceased, Adams that he misses him. But just who was Dawkins addressing? Is this atheist necromancy or vestigial ancestor worship?

At 0:2:34 into part 2, Dawkins simply ask, “Are all the questions going to be like this?”

Richard Dawkins also mentions a few times believing only in things for which we have evidence; without providing evidence to support that view and without admitting that which I outlined in the following essays: that even the hardest of the hard sciences is premised upon axioms which are assumed or intuited and not evidenced or proved:
Atheism and Science – Is There a Relation?, part 1

Atheism and Science – Is There a Relation?, part 2 – On the Difference Between Science and Philosophy: Massimo Pigliucci

Atheism and Science – Is There a Relation?, part 3 – On the Difference Between Science and Philosophy: Richard Dawkins

In part 3 Dawkins is asked about morality and falls apart as he recalls his incendiary and illogical atheist talking points about how troublesome those religious people are who think that morality extends into what people do in private and or with their sexual organs. This is the blind leading the even blinder into taking an ice-pick in their hands and bursting their eardrums while they are at it—have a go at your tongue as well and end up completely senseless? (hint, are pedophilia and rape in private perfectly acceptable?!?!) This topic and his fallacious claims are covered here:

Too Sexy for My Theology? On the New Atheist Obsession with Sex

Ecce Homo’s Commandments (see # 12 “Enjoy your own sex life (so long as it damages nobody else) and leave others to enjoy theirs in private whatever their inclinations, which are none of your business.”)

He admits that he has “faith” in other scientist and has already admitted having “faith” in natural selection to fill in the gaps of his knowledge.

On one level I agree that if I was being interviewed I would not want to bother talking about myself.
