Things You Won't Hear These People Say

You will never hear these people say the following. . .

Unborn Baby: "I think I am superior to all others, and my needs are more important than all others, so everyone who is not an embryo or a fetus should be killed so I can enjoy my life better."

Young Child: "I think I am superior to all others, and my needs are more important than all others, so everyone who is not a child should be killed so I can enjoy my life better."

Person with Down Syndrome: "I think I am superior to all others, and my needs are more important than all others, so everyone who is 'normal' should be killed so I can enjoy my life better."

Elderly Person: "I think I am superior to all others, and my needs are more important than all others, so everyone who is not a card carrying member of AARP should be killed so I can enjoy my life better."

How come you never hear these words or words similar to them from the so called weak and vulnerable in our society?

Someone along the way decided they were superior to others and thus God's gift to this earth. Although they don't believe in a God, or a Creator, they still have the gall to think they are God's gift to this planet.

They judge others according to how close they fit to being like them and those that don't quite measure up are pushed to the outskirts of society and are deemed the ones to die, so they can enjoy their lives better.

Some of these less fortunate are left to die, others are told it's time, and still others are outright murdered. Regardless of the means, the goal is to eradicate those from our society that are weaker, imperfect, and an inconvenience.

So, it's the so-called beautiful people who make these kind of statements not the weak and vulnerable. Have you ever noticed that? It's never a less fortunate person pushing for another group in society to be on the hit list.

Maybe real beauty is found in imperfection! Maybe the heart of the unborn, the children, the childlike, and the elderly is where real love and beauty can be found because their hearts are closer to God. These are the specific groups God commanded us to defend. He has a special heart for them. I have to believe their hearts are closer to their Creator and that is why they are full of love and acceptance for all of God's creations and why you won't hear excluding comments and ugly death threats from them.

Oh, if we all could be more like those under attack these days. For instance, when I walk into a room my young child's face lights up at the sight of me. Too bad we don't show the same reaction to all the people God has created.
