Evil, it’s a hard word to pin down. The dictionary defines it as “profoundly immoral or wrong.” But what is immortality? Many would say it is what is right or wrong. But what is right and wrong? 200 years ago this would have been an easy question to answer. Then white and wrong was black and white. Even in underdeveloped countries and lands wrong always followed that same similar guidelines or laws. These laws can be boiled down to two basic principles (1) Do all you have agreed to do. (2) Do not encroach on other persons or their property. This sounds simple, no? The 2 laws cover about everything, and you could say that anyone who breaks these laws would be doing evil.
In modern day United States Of America, the 2nd law is broke many times each day. No, I’m not talking about, acts of violence by criminals, I’m talking about murder. Murder, you must agree with me is encroaching on another person. But I’m not talking about the kind of murder that a person can get tried for. I’m talking about legal murder, our justice system accepts it, even protects this type of cold-blooded murder. There are professionals in this area of murder, and they are proud to tell you what they do for a living. Every day they kill humans, real, thinking, and functioning people, with fingers, toes, and feelings.
These professional killers?
Abortion doctors.
This evil?
The killing of 100,000 of innocent children.
The unbelievable part is, they find no evil in it. They find not wrong in doing what a child from most primitive nation on earth could tell you is wrong. But some how, in today “advanced culture” it’s suddenly right. Black and white are mixed, and all you have is a muddled gray, where no one remembers that there was a black and a white. Morality becomes something derived from personnel preference. In this thought I am the final authority on everything, there is no higher law or law at all. The 2 basic laws are ignored. When it is legal to take life from a tiny precious child, for selfish reasons and it is legal, law no longer is a “divine”, there is no accountability, there is no right, wrong, or even a point to life. Life is cheap in a society where it is casually extinguished. Life, which is the center of everyone’s beings, yours mine, everyone’s, how can it be “right” to hold your own life in such high esteem as to assume there is no one higher, but at the same time, put down another’s life, just because they are weaker than you. This is truly evil.

Very good article, Lydia. :)
I agree with you 100%!!!
How can the people out there who are 'pro-choice' delude themselves into thinking that this horrendous evil is somehow okay?
It makes me so sad.
But this is a good post though... keep it up. :)

Well written. I think when a society starts to have meetings and discussions on something such as when life begins, there is a fundamental breakdown in truth and a beginning of relying on human thinking. People aren't taking the Truth at His Word anymore. Life is sacred and precious, not a commodity and certainly not something you throw away because it isn't convenient or "perfect". "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end leads to death." Proverbs 14:12
Good post, Lydia!
