A minister proudly touting her abortion exemplifies what leftism does to faith
In 2015, David Burge (Iowahawk) posted a now famous tweet describing leftism: "1. Identify a respected institution. 2. Kill it. 3. Gut it. 4. Wear its carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect." In that short tweet, he perfectly described what leftism has done to Judaism and Christianity. And that act of wearing a religion's "carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect" is the best caption possible for a video in which a female Presbyterian minister, draped in a Planned Parenthood stole, celebrates her abortion and abortions generally.
My parents were not religious. Dad had a snootful of religion being raised in an Orthodox Jewish orphanage in Nazi Germany, even as his older siblings, both ardent communists, castigated religion as the evil opiate of the people. Mom, meanwhile, was the daughter of a non-religious Jewish man and an equally non-religious Christian woman. With both having spent some of their formative years among Jewish socialists in British-mandate Palestine and, later, Israel, organized religion was not high on their list.
Even when Mom and Dad had children, it didn't occur to them to join a synagogue. However, both were deeply knowledgeable about the Bible and Jewish history, and both were culturally Jewish (Dad, obviously, more than Mom). Therefore, while I cannot recite a single Jewish prayer other than the blessing over the Hanukkah candles, I grew up in a home imbued with biblical values and morality. I may not practice my Jewish religion, but I have a deep and abiding respect for the traditional Jewish and Christian faiths.
