And finally this was the next comment at my site:

I usually read your blog, and very rarely comment. I was floored by the first comment left at your site, and wonder if I would have had the strength to restrain myself (as you did) from saying something inflammatory to Rev. Spitz.

If Rev. Spitz is as familiar with the scriptures as his name states, then I am sure he is familiar with the Ten Commandments. I am reminded of one that states, "Thou shalt not kill." Jesus, to my knowledge, was a peaceful man. Abortions were actually being performed during His life. They were typically performed when the physician believed that the mother's life was in danger, as already existing life (that is, someone who had already breathed ambient air) was deemed more important than the fetus, which had not. This forward thinking occurred thousands of years ago. Correct me if I am wrong, Reverand, but I can't recall any scriptures documenting any violence directed towards those physicians in the scriptures.

You, Sir, should pray for YOUR forgiveness, as you are not a martyr, and were not 'called' to do God's work. I am not sure if you have been involved with any abortion clinic bombings, but the fact that you support it is evil. You, 'Reverand', are no Christian, and disgrace Christianity by the fact that you claim to be a part of it. Shame on you and your sham of religion."

Thought you might wanna know what your post ultimately generated.
Peace, Swim

I responded (see comment #18) to Rev. Spitz:

Mr Spitz,
You are entitled to your opinion as I am to mine. You may want to consider that Eric Rudolph is a CONVICTED MURDERER and is serving 4 consecutive life sentences in prison. I respect your right to believe what you like but what you and your people must realize is that this is the United States of America and it remains, to some extent, a free country. If you don't like that fact, you are free to leave.

I just got this comment over at my place, thought I'd share (eek!):

Rev. Don Spitz said...

Eric Rudolph is not a terrorist, but an anti-terrorist fighter. Those who have killed babykilling abortionists have done so to protect the innocent. People use force everyday to protect the innocent and no one has a problem with it, except when it comes to protecting unborn human beings, then they go ballistic. It's very simple, the unborn deserve the same protection as the born. Born people are protected with force quite often. Force that you would be glad if it was to protect your children against a murderer. Force that you yourself might use to protect your own children from being murdered. The unborn deserve the same protection.
SAY THIS PRAYER: Dear Jesus, I am a sinner and am headed to eternal hell because of my sins. I believe you died on the cross to take away my sins and to take me to heaven. Jesus, I ask you now to come into my heart and take away my sins and give me eternal life. http://www.ArmyofGod.com
