on the death of Paul deParrie
`Your worst enemy is not he who differs the most (for that one is merely ignorant of the truth and may be enlightened); but rather he who differs the least (for that one knows the truth and actively perverts it)’
Sound about right?
……………………………
Sounds about right to me. But— According to his expressed view, on the first day of Creation, when the very first breath of life entered the very first creature God created, in that very instant all the events in all the days of his life and unto the instant of his death were foretold and entered into the Great Book of Life along with all commentary and activity pertaining to his life; whether for good or ill, if it had anything to do with his life, it was all there; fixed, immutable, and unchangable by any but God. In other words, this event in life that we call death was meant to be; the events ordained for him by God to occur in exactly this manner, with no deviation whatsoever.
Of course, I could have got it wrong. I will admit I do have a logic problem when it comes to anyone’s definition of pre-destination.

I followed the supposed “Nuremberg Files” court case in the late 1990s, which has — I believe — petered out to its conclusion. deParrie was party to the case, loosely affiliated with “Army of God” as it may be. There was this list of Abortion Providers. If they die, their name was crossed out. Someone was wounded, their name was marked somehow or other — italicized? Red font?
I put something up on my website, which I took down within an hour upon consideration. It went like this:
Abraham Lincoln
James Garfield
William McKinney
Theodore Roosevelt
John Kennedy
Ronald Reagan
William Clinton
Was it possible that the Secret Service could end up with a not-seen geocities site? I don’t know.
At any rate, deParrie once posted something to the effect of “I like Howie. He has a quirky sense of humor.” Well, fine then:
Paul deParrie
Leave it at that.
What’s interesting is that the photo he’s used, and which appeared in yesterday’s Oregonian, looks as though he is either conciously or subconciously harking to Che Guevara.

Yeah, I remember that list now and his defense of it, and denials that it would “stimulate” any violent types, that it was just expressing opinions, etc.
The sad thing is when good people can’t seem to expand their personal convictions to global positions which take into account all the nuances of the human condition.
The worst thing I think porq ever did on this board was read a heart-rending story from a first-person source about having a serious pregnancy issue (foetus about to die inside her as I recall) and following the doctor’s advice to abort it to save her own health….and porq (who thought “there are never any problems with pregnancies” to keep his issue oversimplified and just because his own wife never had any) actually wished her not to get pregnant again unless she “repented.” All that to a girl who desperately wanted a baby, and could have been given courage to try again vs. any more heaping on injury. Of course she stood up to him because he knew nothing of the experience or its details, but a fragile person could have taken that as a kind of curse.

All these accolades for deParrie amount to absolutely nothing in the
sight of God. To claim that the murdering of doctors is “justifiable
homicide” proves beyond a doubt that upon the time of final judgment,
whereby Jesus will announce to him, “I never knew you. Depart from me, you
that work iniquity.”
All of these things that he remarkably did for the cause of
anti-abortion, all the things that he wrote, and all the things that he talked
about… they mean nothing in the kingdom of God. There was much more than
a physical ailment of the heart here… there is the spiritual matters of
the heart. And if the heart is filled with criminal activities,
murder, and other matters of evil, then how can it be of God?
A warrior? Yes. A “true Christian warrior?” I doubt it!
