First of all, you and I are BOTH entitled to our opinions and beliefs
I was addressing Catholics and Fellow Christians who "Believe" that
God gives us the right to life, as well as free will, it is up to us as
individuals to respect each others rights, our rights as individuals
however end when someone else's rights begin, as an example:
Jane's right to have fun an drive fast on the the highway ends when
our right to be able to travel in a safe manner on the same highway
begins. So you likewise have a right to live, with that having been
said, a mothers rights end when the infants rights begin. Roe vs Wade
has been a miss interpretation on what the constitution calls for as
our rights. Another example is when a pregnant women is killed the
criminals are charged with murder not only of the mother but also
of the unborn child.
To view politics without religious beliefs playing a role is like breathing
without your lungs, we all have consciouses that are formed through
our upbringing which includes religious experiences, I believe that
our founding fathers were absolutely correct in establishing a division
between Church and State, we are all after all human and as such
we error, and to allow a Church, ANY CHURCH to take control of a
government will ultimately corrupt that government, as absolute power
corrupts absolutely. If I say that Catholics, or Christians for that matter
should really not vote for a pro-choice extreme left candidate it is because we should never support evil, especially intrinsic evil, war is an evil as we all
know but our brave men and women have signed up to serve our
country, and as a former soldier myself I know that right, wrong, or
indifferent my obligation is to follow orders given by my superiors,
this war was not a war that we had the opportunity to VOTE for
and these innocent victims that you say also include women
(pregnant) and children I am not oblivious to that fact, on 911 and
during Saddam's reign of terror (during which he proudly would reward
suicide bombers for their "brave" actions by giving their families
monetary compensation,) there too were innocent victims of men
women (pregnant) and children not only on our soil but afar as well,
don't forget about them! In war these unfortunate circumstances
exist and happen, I do not support Senator McCain,
I do not trust that he is capable of leading this
country in the right direction, and frankly I am upset that their is no
morally right candidate to pick from. But Obama is not the answer,
and four years from 2009, when this country is unrecognizable and
this vision of "hope" and "change" do end up being just a bunch of
words, I will only be able to say " I new that my fears were not unfounded"
When you strive to remove God from the peoples consciousness you will
not like what replaces him.
