Thank you, you have a good list.
I would recommend that the ‘Cold War,’ was not as cold or bloodless as is conveyed.
Just Korea, Vietnam, Angola, and Afghanistan refute the claim that the war was actually cold. They only say that because, compared to WWI, and WWII – where a vast number of societies and groups, along with the many nations involved; that a major world wide conventional war, with nuclear threat overtones was avoided.
Also, there is not one person on earth who can categorically, without any reservation; claiming to speak authoritatively, infallibly for God can claim that consciousness does not exist for every single human being conceived with a unique DNA. As a matter of fact; even though Thomas Aquinas; would not define when the inmost being consciousness and body are infused together; ‘the quickening’ term used in a more wide meaning then when the pre-birthed stage of in utero infancy child ‘kicks;’
he concluded, that even if he did not authoritatively define this; it didn’t matter because the body is created for a soul in God’s economy of creating human persons.
This word ‘economy’ has deep meaning. In Judaeo Christian teaching any wastefulness falls short of The Glory of God. Therefore, especially, with the dire consequences of not recognizing human life at any stage; God would not ‘waste’ a human body; born into human life at the instant of conception. Beside the fact that stem cells forming blood happen very quickly, from a transcendental point of view; every consciousness is entitled to his or her blood no matter when that blood happens from the Eternal point of view.
~Why so much writing on this? The Soviet Union, around 1920; was the first modern nation to ‘legalize,’ the killing of children yet to be birthed. Just the legalization in and of itself, solemnly, direly with great impact creates an atmosphere; along with the honey speech playing at heartstrings rhetoric that involve situational ethics a culture of death mentality that just by it’s nature of not finding one group ‘useful’ enough to protect - others will be marginalized according to perceived usefulness just because the God given intrinsic value, dignity and Sacredness of human life is not applied to every human consciousness. And since a consciousness, ‘I knew you before the womb,’ ref. Jer. 1:5; has the natural ardent, emphatic, earnest desire to live in God’s Providence — playing God with their value, their suffer as opposed to or at a strict line of demarcation in situational ethics concerning other sorrowful social concerns;
in and of itself, marginalizes these children. So, by all means be deeply concerned with all unearned suffering, especially children; but be extremely careful of these real human situations, which often need those on both sides to come to agreements - this both sides contribute to the delays finding ways to better the situation; — (cont…)
