The shooting in Orlando this past Saturday has sparked a lot of emotional reaction on Social Media. It is tragic to see a radicalized Muslim going around murdering many people. I believe that as Christians there is a role of grieving with those who grieve.
There is also a role that Christians must speak out against evil when one sees it. Enter this Tweet from Planned Parenthood with this response to the Orlando Shooting.
Let me know if you see the irony:
An organization that murders the most helpless members of the human race, the unborn, has tweeted they “stand against violence…”
Are we to laugh or are we to cry? Or both?
[…] 19.) Do you see the irony of Planned Parenthood’s Response to the Orlando Shooting? […]
I think cry. I don’t know. How sad, all of it.
True. You’re right, it is very sad.
Hypocrisy at its finest with an ironic twist.
Yep, you got that right!
As a chaplain friend recently posted:
The #Orlando #Pulse massacre demonstrates just how morally bankrupt our nation really is. Less than a mile from Pulse is Orlando’s #abortion mill where thousands of babies are massacred every year…but no one seems to mind. God help us.
Wow that really puts it in perspective. Both kinds of acts are evil, one gets the publicity, one is not even politically correct to say its wrong. Woe to those who would call what is wrong, right.
As hard as it may be to believe, in the minds of many, there is less and less difference between “Muslim violence” and “Bible-believing Christians”.
We say, “you are killing unborn babies”. They think, “Religious people are really scary.”
It shouldn’t surprise anyone if before too long every example of violence is blamed on “fundamentalists”.
When that day comes, what do you think the next step will be?

The next step would be frightening…
I actually see this blame all the time Alec. Every time there is a terrorist attack, people tell me Muslims and Christians worship the same God so there is little difference in their beliefs or their behavior.
Not understanding God or theology is one thing but the kind of logic people use to form their beliefs is truly baffling.
Good post Jim.

Thanks Vincent for reblogging this!
You’re very welcome Pastor Jim!
Oy! Redefines irony!!!
Yep! It is quite ridiculous…you think they see it even if one points it out to them?
PP’s response is about what I expected, sad to say.
Yeah so sad. Off topic and a tangent but I hope this week to write something for your blog, I’ve been feeling barely holding on with posting in light of other responsibilities and I want to write something well for your blog.
I get time constraints brother, if I wasn’t on vacation I would be swamped. Whenever you have time will be great.
My irony meter exploded after reading this.
LOL
it’s not funny at all. There are so many who are so blind to sin and hopelessly lost. As long as we as a people respond to these horrific tragedies with political dogma rather than heartfelt empathy and compassion we’ll never be able to end these shootings. Too many hearts are seared beyond feeling.
That’s true
Since 1973 the evil Planned Parenthood has murdered over 59 million Babies!! This is a Baby Holocaust!! Defund the evil Planned Parenthood now!!
