01:45

Tim answers objections from internet trolls in an effort to help them go home and rethink their lives

01:50

Troll hunting is hard work, but hey, someone's got to do it now without further ado

01:56

Here's pastor Tim on this episode of answer a fool We will be answering the question isn't the belief that abortion should be criminalized not very pro -life

02:03

Now this is a response that came to us from an internet troll who is interacting with our recent podcast on child sacrifice

02:10

Where we answer the question should women who murder their unborn babies be drawn and quartered now the response by the atheist internet

02:18

I assume it's an atheist internet troll or it could be a progressive Christian internet troll but regardless the response to that was that this doesn't feel very pro -life and One of the things that this should make us realize is that as as it relates to the pro -life movement in general the tactic of the pro -life movement has been to de -emphasize the gruesome and the horrible nature of child sacrifice and to couch

02:42

The language of child sacrifice under this broader rubric of this positive message of being pro -life and so Individuals who are trying to fight this idea of child sacrifice now, we've tried to fight it under this positive message

02:57

Hey, we're pro -life and one of the things that's happened Is that there's been many a progressive Christian who has come along and basically?

03:04

Included a bunch of other things under this broader category of pro -life and attempted to hijack this basic pro -life

03:11

Message now, I've never been a fan of the pro -life rhetoric in general as I've thought about the pro -life rhetoric

03:18

I've always thought it was kind of squishy and I've always blamed it for Blame that rhetoric itself for the lack of effectiveness in the pro -life movement and in general

03:29

One of the things to realize is that we are living in the kind of society that Desperately doesn't want to think about the horrors of abortion

03:37

We don't want to think about doctors who are basically dismembering Babies who can feel pain in their mother's womb who are sticking scissors up into baby's head and in vacuums

03:48

Which they are sucking out babies brains in order to pull them Pull these dismembered babies from their mother's birth canal

03:55

We don't want to think about these kind of things and the more that we don't want to think about these kind of things That the less that we're actually treating child sacrifice as a serious moral issue

04:04

And so one of the ways that we keep ourself from thinking about this is that basically you try to present ourself as having

04:11

This positive pro -life message when in fact one of the things that we should have been doing from the very beginning is

04:16

Basically instead of saying that we are pro -life. We should be we should have been saying that we are anti -murder

04:23

Because that treats child sacrifice as a moral issue instead of removing all the moral issues involved under some sort of slogan that can be easily hijacked by Progressives and left -wing activists

04:35

So one of the things to realize as we're trying to respond to this kind of atheist objection or progressive

04:42

Christian Objection isn't the belief that abortion should be criminalized not very pro -life It's just to simply point out the obvious that you know

04:50

It's very possible to maintain a simple moral distinction between murder and capital punishment when the

04:55

Bible says thou shalt not Kill the kind of killing that the Bible has in mind is what might be described as unlawful killing or murder

05:05

When the Bible tells us that we shouldn't kill it means that we should not murder But then there is such a thing as a lawful killing or a justified killing

05:13

And this really isn't a very hard concept to grasp at all all you have to do is just pull out a dictionary and and one of the things that you're gonna find in the dictionary is that murder is defined as the crime of unlawfully killing a person especially with malicious forethought so murder is the crime of unlawful killing but then there is such a thing as Lawful killing when an individual takes another individual's life that individual has forfeited their life

05:42

And this really isn't a hard or difficult moral calculation to make so To the type of individual who is unable to understand these basic distinctions between murder and lawful killing

05:52

We would just ask them please just open up a dictionary this has been another installment of answering a fool with Bible bashed as Always if you would like to be included in one of our answering a fool episodes
