Thank you for the approval rating!!

Of course, the gay rights issue is all based on prejudice and complete failure to follow Christ's commandment to love our neighbors as ourselves. Sadly, the most guilty are the so-called "holier than thou" Christians who reveal either that they are total hypocrites or that they don't have a clue what the Bible says. Even sadder still is the fact that many of them are ministers who stand up and preach this prejudice from the pulpit. My only consolation is that ministers are warned that they will be judged more harshly than others. I can't wait til Judgement Day to see them squirm when Christ calls them to task for failing to love ALL his children--he will remind them rather harshly, I think, that he did not limit love for his children to white, protestant, heterosexuals. Thank you, incidentally, for the nice compliment.

Thank you so much for the nice words about my post. And you are absolutely correct. Politicians use moral issues as smoke screens to divert people's attention away from the important topics that need attention.

Thanks, Fredo! I won't be around in twenty years either, but, in all probability, my children and grandchildren will. This is the world I want for them.

They should. My point is that a pro-abortion, a pro-gay rights candidate or a pro anything candidate should not be the reason people vote against him. As you know, I am a Christian, but I also strongly believe that moral issues should be kept out of politics. The rights of gays is NOT a moral issue; it is a human rights issue and falls under my concern for how a candidate addresses the social issues of the United States.

The one thing that would help our national debt more than anything is to quit trying to police the world and take care of business at home. Think of the good we could do with all that money spent on Iraq and Afghanistan when special forces could slip in behind lines and accomplish much the same thing. That doesn't even take into consideration the most expensive aspect of war--the loss of our future leaders and citizens.

That's because we use the brain that God gave us rather than letting others do our thinking.

It's a pipe dream; but they manage to convince people they can do it. Common sense should tell them that it is completely impossible.
