    In my own case I am a Roman Catholic and my church is very clear on the issue of abortion and gay marriage in that it is wrong and how so called Catholics can support those 2 issues and say they follow the Cathjolic faith is beyond me.......

    I suspect that it will all come out in the wash on judgment day for Christians and Catholics and becasue of my faith I feel sure that I am on the right side of the issues...........................
    The only thing that is clear here is that you are not a freethinker...you let someone else do the the thinking for you.

    If you are talking about God or Jesus Christ you are right........
    Abortion is the most barbaric act one human being can perpetrate on another.

    I will give you credit for one thing even though you are for the redistribution of peoples personal wealth......

    You definitely have the left wing talking points down pat.........

    Why does he only selectively choose which teaching to follow?

    There was a demon that lived in the air. They said whoever challenged him would die. Their controls would freeze up, their planes would buffet wildly, and they would disintegrate. The demon lived at Mach 1 on the meter, seven hundred and fifty miles an hour, where the air could no longer move out of the way. He lived behind a barrier through which they said no man could ever pass. They called it the sound barrier.

    Such as?

    Do not bare false witness?
    Thou shall not kill?

    Once again, VOR does not believe in his religion, he merely uses it as a tool to advance his ill convicieved agenda.
    Some people love their country because of what it is, because of the principles it is built on, because of its prosperity and freedom. Then others love their country because it is their country, and will destroy all that is actually good about it to silence those who disagree. Which do you think you are? - Symbiote

    I believe in turning the other cheek but within reason..........When 3,000 innocent Americans were murdered on 9/11/01 all bets were off......

    I personally have been married almost 40 years and personally don't believe in divorce.............

    That is great philosophy but if we had loved the Japanese anf Germans after Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941 we would probably be speaking German or Japanese............
