12 Million Black Babies…Dead

November 4, 2008 in Blog Comments off

Someone said the following to me today, "I can’t be black and live with myself if I didn’t vote for a black man to become my president." Hmmmm. I was doing some blog reading and came across a video that John Piper made where he is talking about the election. Here is a quote from the video

 "Abortion is an evil the scope of which and depths of which very few people in our culture feel. The magnitude of it’s just horrific. . . . 12 million black babies dead since 1973. I don’t think Barack Obama will touch that with a ten foot pole. And he should. . . . He’s the most radical abortion proponent in the United States Congress, and that’s tragic."

I don’t know for sure if that number is accurate or not. Regardless, a lot of black babies are dead today. And that’s a shame. So I say,

I can’t be black and live with myself if I voted for a black man who wants to kill off my community before it has a chance to live.

There. I said it. The video of Piper can be seen here.

I love theology and the challenge of making deep teachings non-boring. Let's face it, most of the time we hear theological teaching, it really is boring. Does it really have to be that way? Nope.
