Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick claims the elderly are perfectly happy to sacrifice themselves so everyone can go back to work in order to minimize the damage Covid-19 is having on the economy.
President Trump tweeted, “WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF.” White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow agreed, saying, “We’re gonna have to make some difficult tradeoffs.”
Seems like Moloch worship is back in style. This time, rather than offering children for sacrifice, some are advocating we offer the elderly as an acceptable sacrifice to Moloch and Mammon. I never knew senicide was a family value.
Covid-19 is pushing the boundaries of our health-care systems, our global economy, and our personal sense of security and connection. It is also laying bare our idols. My prayer during this season is that we, the Church, rise above what we fear and embrace Him whom we love and who has revealed Himself as the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He has called us to choose life.
Word of the day, Senicide: The abandonment to death, suicide, or killing of the elderly.
