Sir,
Your comments prove that : a) facts don’t matter to people, only emotion; b) the rank idolotry in modern America.
I am flabergasted by how flippantly modern Americans compare some socialist or conservative to Jesus Christ or how they believe that government forced wealth redistribution (at the point of a gun or with the threat of prison) is the moral or direct equivalent of voluntary sharing by New Testament Christians or the miraculous works of Jesus Christ.
When Bush II was in office he made the statement in a speech referring to some new socialist program he was promoting saying that Americans was “woder working power” when we do ___ (whatever it was). Many conservative Christian leaders gushed because he had made a thinly veiled reference to line in a hymn sung in many churches. However, I was not gushing, I was filled with righteous indignation because the line in the hymn refers to the “wonderworking power in the precious blood of the Lamb”. So my distaste for this sort of idolotry — which in NO WAY elevates or “Christianizes” the unbiblical programs. policies or political/ cultural leaders, but rather drags the Name of Christ through the mud and lowers the faith once delivered to the Saints to nothing more than another means of spin to win a debate when one is short of facts.

I did not detail why I called King is “still held as a Communist” there are reams of evidence available to prove that.
I do not believe that King was a Communist (or at the least held to a Communist philosophy) because he or his followers believed in sharing (I think that is what you are trying to say (?)).
Rather, I base this view on his associations and his clearly stated — in his own words — beliefs and agenda. His speeches and writings are full of Communist philosophy and Marxist ideology.
However, the main thrust of the article was not dealing with his Communism. It was written in response to the oft repeated claims by pro-lifers that “King was pro-life” or “if King had lived he would have been involved in the fight to end abortion”.
Do you disagree that this article shows that King was, in fact. pro-abortion in word and action ?
