Western world shows same disregard for human life as the Aztecs, says bishop

[_Abyssinia]

Bishop Davies says ‘culture of death’ today threatens those considered to be a financial burden

Bishop Mark Davies of Shrewsbury has said the disregard for human life in the western world today bears a resemblance to the Aztec practice of human sacrifice.

Both societies held a belief that some human lives can be discarded, the bishop said, adding: “We cannot regard any human life as inferior to our own whether we meet them in the helpless refugee, the unborn child or the abandoned elderly person.”

Worshippers of Moloch are also an apt comparison.

It always shocked me when my pro abort teacher and classmates were so shocked whenever we went over the spartans leaving babies to die when todays society does far more evil things that they support.

Well, let us remember that an elderly ,or a child abandoned in a physical/ spiritual way is something that is close at hand for us to do something about.
ISIS is so terrible that it kind of lowers the bar on what we can consider grave matter. A child,an elderly,any human being abandoned/ discarded physically or spiritually is stil heartbreaking. Even it is just one.
A thought anyway.
