Toleration of people requires that we treat one another with equal value, honoring each other’s fundamental human freedom to express private faith in public forums. On the other hand, toleration of beliefs does not require that we accept every idea as equally valid, as if a belief is true, right, or good simply because someone expresses it. In this way, tolerance of a person’s value does not mean I must accept that person’s views.

CONVENIENT SACRIFICE

America (Canada) today is sacrificing her children in a manner similar to ancient Israel. The tolerance of abortion does not spring from a conscious rebellion against God nor has it prompted a fear of punishment by God. Our indulgence in abortion arises, just as did Israel’s participation in child sacrifice, from a corrupted view of God. Ancient Israel worshipped Moloch and America worships freedom, convenience and individual rights in the mistaken belief that they are the blessings God would shower us with. Israel believed that God was unconditionally committed to them and America believes that a loving God will not allow any misfortune to befall us. The ignorance of Israel did not shield them from God’s wrath and our own ignorance of the holiness of God will not excuse us.
