Killing their kids for their gods was the offense, MHG. And the gods of this age are "ism's": humanism, "me"ism, state-ism, etc.
There is no difference. Nor can anyone claim that killing their babies in that era would have been fine if they had claimed they were doing it for the God of Israel. He would have rejected that, too. (As He did, incidentally, with Abraham sacrificing Isaac.)
So, it is the killing of babies that is abhorent.
So far as Jacob and which of the candidates would be more like Jacob, I would simply point out the meaning of the name Jacob. Jacob means "deceiver". Jacob didn't become acceptable to God because Jacob pulled himself up by his own bootstraps. He became acceptable because God chose him and changed him. God can do that with anyone, to include Obama. So, to ask which sinner is more acceptable to God is a non-sequitur.
Finally, the last thing I believe is possible on FR is for me to squelch anyone's posts. I simply don't have that power. If you get in a squabble with JR, then he owns the place and can zot any of us. I ain't JR. You can post whatever you want.
Sorry, but GWBush was a bonafide pro-life candidate, even to the point of rejecting embryonic stem cells. His wife wasn't, but he isn't Laura.
McCain was pro-life.
Romney has consistently governed anti-life and has the decisions on record to prove it. His changes are all cosmetic for political campaign purposes.
And the gay issue? Romney is a wasteland. He approves of gay couples, of gay adoption, of gays in the military. He's a full-blown advocate of the gay agenda.
“So, to ask which sinner is more acceptable to God is a non-sequitur.” I did not ask that and it is revealing that you try to mischaracterize what I did ask. Youperhaps without realizing it addressed the reason I asked which would be more of a Jacob, because I was in effect asking which of the two twisters (and the Hebrew translates Jacob as more tiwster than deceiver, but we’ll get nowhere arguing Herbew translation) would be more a Jacob BECAUSE God could turn the heart of Jacob and he became a different man following the ‘wrestling match’. Do you think a lying drug addled marxist sexual degenerate woulf wrestle with God and ask that God bless him? A man who claims to be a Christian and godfearing might be more inclined to ‘wrestle with an Angel of God’ and ask for a blessing than a man who believes a lesser moon goddess has turned into Allah.
