Bush’s Culture of Life
Yesterday, President Bush spoke at the national Catholic prayer breakfast in Washington, D.C. He spoke about something that has always been close to us United Methodists, the culture of life.
He said. “In our day there is a temptation to manipulate life in ways that do not respect the humanity of the person,” Bush said Friday. “When that happens, the most vulnerable among us can be valued for their utility to others instead of their own inherent worth.”
Respect the humanity of the person? Valued for the utility of others instead of their own inherent worth?
Mr. President! That’s great! I’ve been waiting years for this day. I praise the Almighty for this amazing altar call! Let me offer you a few pieces of information you should be aware of so you can get working on that whole culture of life thing:
67,364 civilians dead in Iraq as of today.
3,561 soldiers (US and coalition) who have been killed in Iraq as of today.
26,188 soldier (US only) wounded in your war in Iraq as of today.
152 prisoners executed while you were governor of Texas.
314 prisoners executed while you were President, between your inauguration and January 1, 2006.
As fellow Methodists, I am sure we can both praise God for your conversion! Praise Jesus and pass the pot luck.
