Speaking of wasted money
Jun 14^th, 2012 at 10:07am

http://www.rhrealitycheck.org/article/2012/06/12/wichita-terrorists-raising-fund...

http://articles.kwch.com/2012-06-07/george-tiller_32107253

The main story dovetails the fiscal problems the state of Kansas is enduring, especially with its social aid programs, with the tale of two Witchita churches linked in an effort to build a multi-million dollar memorial center to aborted fetuses where people can "come and properly grieve and memorialize the children that we've lost to abortion." It's called the National Pro Life Memorial and International Life Center, a kind of "Tomb of the Unknown Fetus."

Now these churches certainly have a right to spend donated money in whatever way they see fit. But in Kansas, an impoverished, hand-me-down state in the best of times (1 in 5 Kansans live on less than $12,000 per year) where now thousands upon thousands of living children are in serious, immediate need of assistance, this joint-church building project seems not just crassly self-indulgent in spending millions to memorialize aborted fetuses that can no longer be helped but also not very much in keeping with the principles and ideals of Christian charity.

But, hey, a church has to keep its priorities straight, right? Jesus said, "Let the dead bury the dead," after all, meaning that the proper concern of the living is the living. . . . Oops, wait. I guess what Jesus said doesn't apply at all here. Sorry. My mistake.

The topic is political in that the responsibility of the state of Kansas to care for it citizens in need is necessarily a political concern. To that political concern the story juxtaposes the complete lack of a sense of proper priorities (not to mention the utterly crass and ignorant appearance) of this pair of churches with their desire to focus on memorializing aborted fetuses. And just in case it escaped your notice, abortion is also a political topic.

No. The churches are remiss in not handing over the millions earmarked for this pointless project in order to save the living children of Kansas who are in far more need than any dead fetus.

Let's start here. You claim it is the responsibility of the State of Kansas to care for it's citizens. What does that have to do with your topic about the church?

I made a point of saying these churches can do with their donations whatever they want. But the appearance they present in building a multi-million dollar memorial center to dead fetuses when they could be using those millions to help living children instead, is one of crass self-indulgence for a political purpose not a Christian charitable one. And I can't help it if that embarrasses you to the point you feel a need to make semi-articulate, defensive growls and snarls about it.
