Sanctity of human life takes second place to the costs of elderly care who are deemed no longer of use to the despot and those who think like him. <br /><br />It is not stated how many had underlying issues nor was the death toll compared with previous years at this time of year. <br /><br />One should be forgiven for entertaining the thought that the despot intended to seek one more use from the about to be deceased. <br /><br />By declaring their deaths as being caused by what the public has been fanned to fear he can use them one more time to further get away with enslaving whomever still breaths.Pascalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303025432356543062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-32324832258754043862020-05-06T11:50:50.467-04:002020-05-06T11:50:50.467-04:00Well Ed, we have the benefit of hindsight to see h...Well Ed, we have the benefit of hindsight to see his words were prophetic. At the time Abraham said them they were based entirely on his faith. The test was but hours away. Skeptics still mock "Was it a heaven-sent message or was he just lucky?" Faith Ed.<br /><br />Here's what matters: all that followed stands in testimony to that faith as was touched on in the essay above. And yet that's still hindsight. Faith is still required. So do not be deluded that any of it was easy. Such is life and we are tested throughout ours.<br /><br />You raise a good question because it permits me to make a contrast rarely thought about. His test of faith is similar to our own. We are not prophets. But we have an advantage over "scientists" who are enslaved to the despots' money bags. We have one Boss they have another. <br /><br />Malthus was a scientist who admitted his theory was disproved. The Progs won't permit their neo-Malthusians to ever commit such a "blasphemy." <br /><br />So those who retain the old faith are trouble-makers for them that their slaves are not allowed to be. That puts us in their cross-hairs because our faith gets in the way of their deadly course. <br /><br />To try and make that confrontation clear was what drove me to write the essay 15 years ago. Today, now that the neo-pagans have dropped most of their disguises, the likelihood has increased that more people will see how real is the threat to the faithful. That change amid the current odd circumstances (COVID-19) drove me to republish it. <br /><br />I pray the warning fazes and awakens many more people than before.
