calling all Pro-Lifers to step up
I do own a Bible ma'am, and yes I do know how to use it. I actually open it up, regularly. As a matter of fact, I am learn from it each time I open it (daily).
However, I do not simply quote a verse from anywhere that serves my agenda, as you do.
I would NEVER state that I know all of God's word, but I can say it is true and it is valid. It is correct for reproof and instruction. No where does it instruct us to do many of the things the Democratic Platform endorses.
And for that reason alone, I am not a Dem.
Your smug comment is obvious and I take offense. The issue was regarding Terri S. and somehow you twist and turned it into a death penalty issue, as well as, jabs on people of faith and Republicans in general.
You have succeeded in chasing yet another person away from this board for good. I am not interested in debating any issues with someone so "mean" and nasty.
Good Riddens~
Very interesting.... MY smug comment.
In case you forgot, the smugness started with "What do you mean YOUR bible?"
You knew full well what I meant, but you decided to bait me into some argument about who the bible pertains to. So I got sarcastic rather than fall into your little trap.
The issue on Terri Schiavo is simply this: there is a party that was entitled to make decisions regarding her medical care. That party was her husband. You wanted to have the government step in. The GOP always wants the government to step in, and then they always claim to be the party of small government.
The death penalty reference was merely an example at how contradictory your party can be. It has no bearing on the Schiavo case whatsoever.
I didn't make a jab at people of faith. I too am a person of faith. It may not mirror your faith, but it's faith nonetheless. And according to the constitution I'm just as entitled to practice it as you are yours. So don't go throwing your faith into my government. It doesn't belong there, and even the Bible says so. (And if you read your Bible as regularly as you claim to, you would know that. So yes, part of the Democratic platform IS in the Bible.)
Sally,
Jesus would not be in favor with the religious right as he gave us a choice, he did not force his views on us.
I am a Christian but I do believe that "We" are not the police of everyone's morals that is Gods job.
I do not understand what the religious right does in the political ram as it does not point to Jesus Christ and saving ones soul, that is what changes lives for the better.
Are you for real. Since I have never met someone like you face to face, sometimes I really can't honestly believe you are real. You must really believe people who don't think and believe exactly what you do are the "evildoers." I honestly do not understand how you can think you are making sense.
Your story about the little old lady and the mean grocery clerk is dumbfounding... I'm so pro-CHOICE it'd make your head spin and I would not have sat there behind that little old lady and let her apologize as you did. Who gives a s**t what you said to the bagger; it's the little old lady who was being victimized. All of that aside, the Republicans I know, and the policies they generally support, are some of the least compassionate I've ever seen. To imply that Democrats (or more accurately people who don't think exactly as you do) and people who believe in choice (over our religious beliefs and our bodies) hate little old people and embrace death for the weak is retarded. You are the picture of intolerance and hate.
"Being pro-choice means the person feels "the right" to use death or to kill as an option to solve a problem or situation. Pro-life means there is NO option, other than life. You simply cannot be both."
Just in this simple thread you completely contradict yourself. You say being Pro-life means there is NO option to use death to "solve a problem," and that the pro-choice "culture of death thinking" is where people started thinking they "have the right to end life if it is not sufficient or full of purpose," yet you defend the death penalty? You say that murdering a murderer is really pro-life. What happened to "there is NO option" to use death to "solve a problem." Murderers have souls, and were once babies who often weren't given the care they needed by their family and their SOCIETY. I can't imagine the words that could explain this to me and come out making any sense at all. Why don't you go support the children in need, before they are more victimized by our society to the point of becoming murderers, instead of lying to confused pregnant girls as a "volunteer" as you put it in your profile. Please solve this mystery for me and countless others.
Regarding your following statements: "When humans begin to decide whether life is worth living or ending than they themselves become God. God is the giver, the sustainer and taker of life. " And, "Politians do not determine exactly when life begins or ends, it's God that does, no one else." How can you say this and at the same time support the death penalty and post a call to the world to play God for Terri Shaivo?
I don't understand how you can so firmly believe YOUR religion should be mine. It doesn't belong in a society that believes in religious freedom and I am eternally confused with how it has even been allowed an audience. You and everyone else who thinks they are in a position high enough to judge everyone else are ridiculous. You and the hatred you represent, is one of the many (unlike the one topic method of party association) reasons why being a Republican would be one of my last choices for political association. What an embarrassment; the model for hipocracy.
