The “Do-it-yourself Where do I Spend Eternity?” indicator. Lenin said that “Hatred is the essence of Communism.” Love, of course, is the essence of Christianity. The battle between love and hate is what life is about. Free will was programmed into existence so that each person, and every people, has to realize: “we pays our money, and we takes our choice”.
Life and love go together just as death and hate. Abortion is the divide that tells us who’s on which side. Picture a bell-curve. The pro-life people are on the right half. The pro-abortionists are on the left.
If we picture ourselves skiing down the bell curve from the mushy, lukewarm bulge in the middle, we go toward those who are more supportive of life and death. Mother Theresa is in the right hand corner of the bell curve. We may hope we get close to her.
Women like Margaret Sanger, Margaret Meade, Rachel Carson, Betty Freidan, Gloria Steiner, Jane Fonda, and their innumerable friends may be reached by skiing left, toward the most fanatic lovers of death. We know more of them by name because the love of being famous draws those who embrace the cause of death. Those closest to their leader are allowed to apportion earthly fame. It is not unrealistic to say that, many times, the earthly degree of fame is equivalent to the future degree of punishment.
If other sins are not dragging us down, the degree to which we support pro-life causes marks our place on the right side of the great, moral bell curve. Our position there is our place in God’s eyes. Those who support organizations that favor and cause death, of course, go to that level of The Inferno that reflects their love of death.
Some Catholics say that “outside The Church, no one can be saved.” Catholic Fundamentalists believe that “The faithful factions of The Roman Catholic Church have always fought for life and love. Her allies in the battle for life may share in some portion of His grace.”
