offers a paean of praise to murdering little girls.<\/a> Jonathan Swift would be proud.<\/p>\n

But Mark!\u00a0 You\u2019ve criticized Live Action for attacking PP killing little girls!\u00a0 You\u2019ve said you can understand why somebody like Ron Paul would vote against an anti-gendercide bill.<\/p>\n

Yes.\u00a0 It\u2019s true.\u00a0 I do not live in a Manichaean mental universe.\u00a0 This is one of the great ironies of the whole \u201cLying for Jesus\u2019 discussion. People with amazingly simplistic black and white analyses (\u201cIf you criticize anything about Live Action whatosever, it\u2019s because you love abortion and want to murder as many children as possible!\u201d) then turn around and tell you that I must either accept lying as a Christian virtue or else be tarred forever as desiring the death of babies and the extermination of Jews\u2013and I\u2019m a simplistic fundamentalist for accepting the plain teaching of the Church to boot.<\/p>\n

In fact, however, I oppose the murder of little girls and I support LA\u2019s work\u2013when it does not involve lying. Similarly, I disagree with Ron Paul\u2019s vote, but still think him an honorable man who, quite obviously, is motivated by honorable principle and desirous of stopping abortion. Such nuance seems to escape a lot of combox inquisitors.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
