In my opinion the best blog on the killing of the abortionist’s George Tiller was by Doug Phillips. He presents the evil of the killing along with the evil of George Tiller. I especially like his foundational thought:
“We must view the cause of Christ as more important than the pro-life movement. This means that our duty to obey Christ and to honor His name is more important than defeating abortion in America, as badly as we may desire that outcome.”
Read the whole article here.
Another excellent blog is by Doug Wilson:
“Let us now step into the morass of relativist lies promulgated throughout our judicially blinded culture. [Warning: there are some readers of this blog who are incapable of following nuance, and so I have to issue a formal sarcasm alert, lest somebody get the whole thing arsy varsy.] Sure, we condemn the murder of Tiller now, like good citizens, but we will only do so unless and until the targeted murder of such individuals is determined by the Supreme Court to be a consitutional right we didn’t know we had. Turns out they found it in a recently discovered penumbra somewhere. Once they say it is okay, we will all immediately shut up about it, right?
Well, no, because the Supreme Court doesn’t have the authority to declare murder okay, and only ghastly human beings like Tiller think they do. When such men take the Supremes up on their invitation to any slaughter that has been given the legal okay, they are helping to create a society in which lawlessness reigns. They cooperate with those who frame mischief with a law. But once this lawlessness has taken root, the bright boys running everything start to discover that lawlessness has certain shortcomings as a social theory.
One last comment. The fact that Tiller was a member of Reformation Lutheran pretty much sums up everything that is wrong with our nation. But even this highlights another interesting feature. If the suspect Roeder in fact is the guilty party, and is a member of a conservative church somewhere, the chances are pretty good that he will be excommunicated (as Paul Hill was) for his bloody ways. The chances that someone like Tiller would be excommunicated from a liberal church for his bloodlust are chances approaching zero.”

The article that I read concerning this quoted one of the members from Tiller’s church as saying, “The congregation never had a discussion concerning his membership.”
That’s pretty sad for it not even to be debated.
