Murder Is Never Justified!

Dr. George Tiller, one of the nation's few providers of late-term abortions, was serving as an usher during Sunday morning services when he was shot in the foyer of Reformation Lutheran Church in Kansas, as reported on NPR.

How can anyone claiming to be "pro-life" murder a man in cold blood in the House of the Lord? No matter our opinions of abortion, this is a crime that violates the civilized system of laws that our nation is built on, AND desicrates a House of the Lord!

New Topics for the Lame Duck Season

While we wait for a new administration, the temperatures are dropping, and many Americans are caught up in holiday shopping, I was thinking of filling the time with some hot topics:

• Gay marriage
• Science in religion and politics: the real agenda behind "creationism"
• An honest look at abortion (freed from the dogma and rhetoric of the right and left)

I may start a separate blog for the multi-part series on abortion -- an issue where I've struggled and thought long and hard about it. I will propose the 3rd road (hint: both the right and left are wrong, in my opinion).

Comments are appreciated, even in advance.
