A Confused Little Girl Adds To Her Judgment
BY Herschel Smith

We will all answer for what we say and what we believe. This girl has added to her judgment.
If one takes this patronizing argument at face value, one must also accept that gun buyers, too, are at risk of making impulsive decisions they might regret—hurting other people. But there is an important difference between these two categories of ostensibly regrettable decisions: Only one brings harm to others. One decision leads to the termination of one’s own pregnancy, and the other to the murder of breathing, life-living, outside-the-womb human beings.
There are few clearer statements of a society’s values than this: We place more trust in the self-knowledge and decision-making skills of a would-be mass murderer than we do in a pregnant woman. To put it another way, in Georgia, it is easier for a man to gain the capacity to maim and kill other people’s bodies than for a woman to obtain medical care for her own.
On Wednesday, Cherokee County Sheriff Frank Reynolds said that Long “gave no indicators that this was racially motivated.” Instead, law enforcement officials said, Long claims he is addicted to sex, and the spas were a “temptation he wanted to eliminate.” This attempt to disentangle race from sex and gender, and racism from misogyny, is wrongheaded and futile. The fact that Long targeted Asian-owned spas, and that the majority of his victims were Asian women, is no coincidence; the “temptation” he cites—and his decision to visit violence upon the particular people and places he blamed for it—didn’t come from nowhere. However Long explains himself, the devaluing and hypersexualization of Asian women and their labor are essential context for his crimes.
She has no idea what the motivation was for the shooting. She’s just making that up, and she’s paid to be offended.
On the other hand, by treating the unborn as not worthy of life and not even created and designed by God, she may as well throw children into the fire for Molech.

She ignores an inconvenient fact. Many, perhaps most, of the employees at “massage” parlors all over the country are Asian. Filipinos, Chinese, Koreans. Many, many Koreans. I had occasion to go into a few of these brothels back in the early 80’s (young, horny, stupid, Pre-AIDS) and with only one exception, everyone involved was Korean.
I learned back then that these sex workers were very good at what they did, and I learned later that they were so proficient as a means of moving the customers in and out. In other words, you might pay for $30 minutes but you didn’t get 30 minutes, at least in the case of a horny 20 year-old. Move on to the next customer. I learned, much later, that most of them were in the country illegally, and they all had pimps.

The day is coming that there will be so many identies to disentangle and so many correct speak buzz words to convert to plain language that one will not know what a “news” item is about let alone what actually happened if anything.
Reality is better. Jesus starts in Matthew 18 by bringing a little child into the midst of them as he starts a discorse. He mentions having faith (in Him) even as a little child does. Then In verse 5 He says:
“Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.” Matthew 18:5
Then we hear the offenses of the members parable where we are instructed to cut off our foot or remove our eye if it offend. He is talking about members of the body of Christ who are false, I believe. I’m interested to hear other takes on that.
Then Jesus talks about the 1 and 99 sheep. Going to get the 1 that was lost while leaving the 99 and rejoicing about the 1 who is found. Clearly this is a parable of a lost sinner coming into the fold. Application also is made to those who believe but go astray somehow.
But then he makes a plain and simple statement about children in verse 14:
“Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.”
How can any righteous man or woman kill a child?
If you don’t first come to Him before His throne and seek mercy while you still can in this life, this then is your day in court:
“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
Don’t miss it freind. Burried in there and easy to miss is the simple answer. This passage screams the question, if you can hear it; how can you get your name into this book, the Book of Life?
Back in Matthew 18 in verses 2 thru 4 we find this:
“And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”
The judgement isn’t some good works versus bad works balance on a ledger. You’re condemned already for your sin. There is a judge who is to terrible to look upon.
“Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.” Hebrews 4:13
You must face your guilt now, admitting it, and seeking mercy and forgivenss as a little child, humble and helpless before the Almighty.

Didn’t spell check that. Sorry! It’s bad enough that I can’t write. Ugh.

A pregnant lady walks into a gun store and says, “I want to kill a baby. Sell me a gun.”
The gun store clerk says, “Is the baby born or unborn?”
“Unborn, but I don’t want it and plan to shoot it right after birth. Governor Northam says it’s cool.”
Gun store clerk responds, “OK, well, I can’t sell you the gun today, but leave a deposit and come back in 2 days, and if you still want to kill the baby, then I’ll sell you the gun. We don’t want you killing any babies and then regretting it later – that would just be the worst.”
This is the sick and twisted world that Confused Little Slate Girl lives in.

How many abortions have there been?
How many mass shootings have there been?
In fact, I’ll be generous and also allow deaths in combat to be included with the mass shootings total.
Ignoring the Revolutionary War, including all military deaths from Civil War, WW1, WWII, Korea and Vietnam, along with mass shootings, let’s go with a round number of 1.5 million killed across roughly 160 years. (I’m ignoring smaller wars the US has been involved in. I also admit my back the envelope math may be off)
Abortion has been legal in the US since 1973, so, not quite 50 years, yet, last I saw, we’re at 60 million deaths by abortion and counting. (the number may be higher, not sure)
But, yes, again, Christina, tell me how much more deadly mass shootings are over death by abortion.

Side note, I took a look at the comments section on the Slate article and, whoo boy, wow.

@blake,
Doing that sort of makes it make sense that America is so divided, and so lost, yes? It clears up any confusion as to where America is, and why it is there, yes?

@ Herschel, as you probably realize, I think comparing mass shootings to abortion is stupid, but, if Christina wants to play, well, lets run some numbers.
And yeah, America is lost, really lost.

If a woman aborts a fetus, she kills a human.
If a woman buys a gun, she might kill a human.
See the difference?
