There's an anti-Catholic spin in any story if you look hard enough


There was a tragic plane crash in Montana on March 22. This is a typical contemporaneous report:


Montana Plane Crash Kills 17: AP


Today, looking for reaction to the Texas school board decision, I found this follow-up to the crash:
A heartless faith


The atheist author is outraged, first mocking the idea that a Catholic cemetery includes a memorial to unborn children in scare quotes, then embedding his own irony in his criticism of this article on Christian Newswire which is a complete inclusion from
Gingi Edmunds blog


If you are not inclined to click on everything, this is the source of PZ Meyer's outrage:


I don't want to turn this tragic event into some creepy spiritual "I told you so" moment, but I think of the time spent outside of Feldkamp's - Pam Feldkamp laughing at the fetal development signs, Bud Feldkamp trying not to make eye contact as he got into his car with a small child in tow - and I think of the haunting words, "Think of your children." I wonder if those words were haunting Feldkamp as well as he stood in the snow among the remains of loved ones, just feet from the 'Tomb of the Unborn'?


I think this is creepy, like a Twilight Zone episode. That crew and passengers did not deserve to die. The unborn children killed in abortion do not deserve to die. Gingi Edmunds should realize that people like PZ Meyers are out there stalking our side and looking for every opportunity to point the accusatory finger at us of hate and hypocrisy. Write carefully and ask yourself, "Can the enemy spin this to their advantage?"
