Dear CRC Banner Magazine:
In 1979, Jim Wallis said in an interview that he wished that "more Christians will come to view the world through Marxist eyes." He is now a spearhead of the Christian “Social Justice Movement”, and his utterances get the attention of The Banner. Although the "Social Justice Movement" overlaps Christianity at Matthew 25, I see this passage being used as an exit door into a Marxist belief system that places hope for humanity in the providence of leftist government—which is, ironically, the most savage and unjust political system in human history.
Like modern Marxists, Wallis excludes abortion from his list of Social Injustices. But Wallis does so very cleverly. He blames abortion on nebulous preconditions such as our "Throw Away Culture", and he blames the pro-life movement for not working hard enough on the preconditions. He cites environmental issues and consumerism as a couple more problems that pro-lifers must solve before earning a right to oppose industrial man-slaughter.
Is there any other act of Justice that Wallis would postpone until the culture is overhauled and the environment is clean? No, there isn’t. So, it would be more forthright for Wallis to admit that “hell freezing over” is the actual precondition that pro-lifers must achieve before he would join them in opposing 4,000 small acts of torture and killing that happen every day.
And so, excuse me, but I regard Jim Wallis as a toupée. Yes, a toupée. All during the election season, he was used to cover that ugly spot of bald hatred that Democrat Party leaders have for Christians. Now that Wallis can claim some small success in delivering votes, he will surely find other Democrat politicians who will “wear” him for a while. It looks like his is trying to put down roots and become real hair on the scalp of the Democrat party, but I suspect he will be tossed into a drawer pretty soon.
We’ll see what happens, but in the mean while I am working so that other pro-lifers I know are not fooled by his “new morality” that is “less divisive”. In sum, I am all for social justice. However, I want no part of the Marxist "Social Justice Movement” or any of the Auxiliary of Christians who jog along behind it. Vladimir Lenin had a term for such people. He called them “useful idiots”.
