However, one can't deny that the life and death of Jesus weighs heavily on our history and our modern society. Scanning the records of the ages since his death, there stands an overwhelming pattern that is rather difficult to overlook. Christ followers have, in his name, raped, pillaged, ,murdered, tortured, and destroyed nations and people up to this very day. It continues today with the harassment and murders of doctors who perform abortions. It will not stop there.
History is proof of that.
I don't believe Christ would have advocated all this evil, but because he existed, it happened. It's almost impossible, now, to imagine a world without a New Testament, but stretching as deep into my imagination as I can, I can pretty easily assume it couldn't have been much worse. If Mary had simply chosen and abortion, infinite amounts of suffering could have been alleviated. She didn't make that choice. I'm not even entirely sure that abortions were possible 2,000 years ago, but if they were, she would have been totally justified in pursuing one.
