A couple interesting posts over  Vox Day’s blog.

The first one deals with National Public Radio’s policy concerning terminology used in reference to those opposed or in favor of abortion.  What also caught my attention was a link included in the post to an essay on infanticide in the ancient world. It’s an eye opener.

The second post is a riff on an AP story about the rising occurrence of ritual human sacrifice in Uganda.

Vox concludes:

“As Chesterton, history, and demographics have all pointed out, when Christianity fails in a society, it is not going to be replaced by a lack of religion, but by a different religion. The more intelligent members of the irreligientsia would do well to ponder whether continuing to work towards that replacement is a wise policy or not.

It is also worth keeping in mind that Christians who are accustomed to fighting this sort of raw and undisguised evil are not likely to be as tolerant of open violations of Biblical morality as the average Western Christian. ”

I think these posts are  brilliant answers to the oft repeated charge in some quarters that Christianity has only brought harm, oppression, and ignorance.  Those who hold this position are themselves ignorant of history and of what waits to fill the void left should our opponents have their way.
