We Matter To Our Creator, Our Maker.
He Wants Us To Acknowledge Him And Be Committed To The Truth Of His Existence
So That We Will Respect "The Sanctity Of Human Life" - We Are Miracles Made By Him.
If We Turn Away From The Truth That Humanity Shares The Same One Maker / God,
Then The Painful Consequences That Naturally Result
From Our Own Choice To Devalue Humanity In Our Own Eyes
Will Be OUR OWN Fault, Not God's.
