The Color Of Death Is Purple |
| In
the Netherlands, the country where I live,
we currently (may 2001) have a government
consisting of three parties. This coalition
of Social Democrats, Liberals and Democrats
is known under the name "the purple
coalition" and is presently in their
second term. The binding factor in this
government is the Democrat party with the
name "D'66". It was their ideal to
have a coalition without the Christian
Democrats. The Queen of the Netherlands, a
woman with the name Beatirx, also played a
very strong part in forming this coalition,
almost 8 years ago. |

| In
the time that I write this, our country, the
Netherlands, goes through very hectic times.
The nation has become world news recently,
due to the fact that the Netherlands has the
dubious honor of being the first country to
have legalized "euthanasia".
Euthanasia, a word invented by the Nazi's
during the second world war, literally means
"soft death". The nazis used it to
remove "unworthy" life. I have
seen a propaganda movie from the nazi's in
which they promoted euthanasia for incurable
sick people. Hitler stopped the program
after there was too much critique. Please
note, I am not talking about the
concentration camps, but about euthanasia,
doctors killing patients that suffer from an
incurable disease. In our country, a doctor
can now legally kill a patient, supposedly
at the patient's request, when the patient
"suffers unbearable suffering".
Concerned people in the Netherlands have
strongly protested against this law,
neighboring countries are very worried about
the events as well. |

| Where
on one hand old people don't get the right
care that they need, on the other hand we
have a minister that advises old people to
kill themselves. Just days after the
euthanasia-law passed the parliament, the
minister of "health", Els Borst,
gave an interview in Dutch quality newspaper
"NRC Handelsblad". In this
interview, she stated that she had lost
every contact with people that oppose this
euthanasia. She used the same words as Jesus
spoke on the cross (John 19:30), "it is
finished" when asked about the law.
Mrs. Borst told a story how she knew two
women of age, "they were bored stiff,
unfortunately not bored to death", she
said about the women. She said the women
longed for death and it should be possible,
according to mrs. Borst, for such people to
take a pill to commit suicide. Only a few
days after a euthanasia bill passed the
parliament, she wanted to go steps further.
And although she said that she was sorry if
she hurted anybody, days later she gets
interviewed by the magazine of her own
party, the D'66. In this interview she is
asked what she thinks about the fact that
some Christian circles find her the devil.
She liked it apparently, because her answer
was: "Yeah, interview with the devil,
that's a good title for this
interview." |

|
| In
my country, when you ask people Who they
believe in, the answer of many is: "I
believe in myself". Many people have
put themselves on the seat of God. We have
abortion, which is basically a child
sacrifice to the God we proclaim to be. We
have euthanasia, the ultimate tool of
self-determination. Man wants to be God. |
|
| |
|
| And
there is another God which is worshipped in
the Netherlands. This God is called Mammon.
It's the God of money. 100,000's of animals
are brutally killed because of economical
reasons. In the time I write this, there is
mention of a Foot and Mouth disease that is
spreading across Europe. This sickness,
which is not even lethal for animals, can be
easily prevented by vaccination. But the
government doesn't want the animals be
vaccinated, because otherwise the americans
and the japanese will not buy our meat. |

|
| When
I count all the wickedness that the dutch
government is currently introducing to the
nation, I can only think of one thing: the
color of death is purple. |
