I’m going on record to say that I’m appalled by what Eric Rudolph did.
Rudolph planted bombs and killed people because, according to him, he hates abortion, homosexuals and the federal government. I don’t feel fondly toward these things, either, but Rudolph’s murderous actions are inexcusable.
As far as abortion is concerned, should our laws ever change and courts recognize abortion as murder, then child killers will be prosecuted within the bounds of the law. Until then, in the eyes of the law, they’re committing no crime. As much as I hate that, I don’t condone their murder. Rudolph wisely copped a plea because he deserves to be on death row.
While I may agree with certain parts of Rudolph’s statement, he is still without excuse. This post wasn’t written to prove anything to detractors. It’s directed toward believers. I hate that Rudolph is identified as a Christian. Whatever religion he practices, it’s not in accord with biblical teachings. We must denounce Rudolph’s actions and stand firmly against them.
May he come to know the God who saves instead of the false one he worships.
Update: Crooks and Liars: “This seems like the story cable news would be tripping all over each other to cover round the clock. It has everything any producer could want. A mad bomber right out of a Hollywood script that attacked the Olympics. He killed two people and injured 120….There should be hundreds of protestors camped outside the Atlanta courtroom lashing out at judges and prosecutors for not seeking the death penalty. James Dobson should be on FOX News declaring that “the whole legal system is out of control and are derailing our judicial system. We have the death penalty for a good reason.”
