In this way, my belief in God has boosted my enthusiasm for the pro-choice movement. When I found the reproductive justice movement, I found God’s calling for my life. God’s purpose for our lives isn’t to spend our time hurting people, lying, and gossiping like many anti-choicers do.
This makes me think of the parable of The Pharisee and the Tax Collector:
9To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: 10"Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11The Pharisee stood up and prayed about[a] himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
Well thank God she's not like those icky anti-choicers.
Instead of hurting, lying, and gossiping, wouldn’t it make more sense that God wants us to fight, with love and passion, for the rights of all people, women included? Isn’t that who God really is?
O-kay.
And that knowledge is based on....what exactly?
(And all people does not seem to include fetuses in her purview. God only loves those who are born?)
The problem with leftists is that they project their ideology on God. They don't ask God. They figure out what THEY THINK is good (which is based purely on subjective ideas), and they figure God represents those values.
There's an old cliche that goes "I asked God. He's pro-choice."
Funny, nobody ever explains how they got to that answer. Sounds like they were putting words in his mouth.
If you want to know who God really is, you have to be ready to abandon what you think you know.
