From the religious right propaganda organ AgapePress:
- state-sanctioned death of Terri Schiavo
- the serious threat to life and liberty that is operating in the very midst of the nation's system of government.
- "We have some serious problems with the fundamental structure of government in the United States, and there need to be some serious changes."
- "I think now what Terri Schiavo's death marks is the transition to a neo-barbarian culture." Barbarians, according to various encyclopedia sources, are defined by sociologists as those social parasites who prey upon civilization, sometimes enslaving others or looting and plundering, in order to survive at others' expense. And according to Sproul, America's "civilization" is beginning to look more and more like that.
"I think that's where we are," the minister says. "We've become barbarians, because what we've just witnessed is the willful starving and dehydration of a living human being." And lamentably, he adds, even many Christians believed it was right for the state to sanction the brain-damaged Florida woman's death.
