I started the HumanLifeMatters blog eleven
years ago as a way for me to vent my grief seeing our once great western
Christian civilization – dating back to the Middle Ages -- being dismantled. All I hold dear is being attacked and
broken. It became most evident with the rejection of the sanctity of all human life that served as a foundation
of Common Law. It was on the basis of that foundation that our subsequent moral traditions, laws and
mores were built. Western Christian civilization gave the highest individual and societal freedoms and liberties ever to exist! But freedom and liberty need form. That is being taken apart and replaced with ever increasing
hardline secularism. Consequently, the lives of the weakest, most vulnerable and unwanted are being turned into hell on earth.
And yet I remain an optimist. I hope (perhaps foolishly) that what was can be again, to an even greater degree. I still hope and pray for a Christian revival. I believe that only then can we reclaim what has been lost and restore the culture to valuing every life and where killing each other is unthinkable. This blog is a tool to expose cultural error and cruelty and recommend a better way found in Christ and a Christian moral consensus.
In the early years after this blog was started, very few people read my posts. The numbers began to grow. The blog has now surpassed 700,000 page views from across North America. It seems to be striking a full chord with people.
I will continue to write until, either my health gives out, or Google Blogger censors the HumanLifeMatters blog. What I write is offensive to aggressive and hardline secularist views, and because of this I do not allow many comments. I suspect a progressive or two will complain to Google at some point to have me silenced.
