Re: Where do you live...?
I'm always confused by the President's views on some matters. I always was taught in my religion anyway that if you believe something, you believe it, you can't tear it apart and pick and choose what you want it to mean. Like the right to life, a lot of people quote the ten commandments, one of the most memorable is, thou shalt not kill! Well now if it applies to the abortion issue it also applies to the death penalty issue just as much. And we are not talking about the innocense or guilt between a so called murderer or the innocense of a fetus, we are talking about the commandment thou shalt not kill, it does not say that you can apply it here but disregard it in another situation, it says very clearly, thou shalt not kill! But yet this President who says he is a born again christian and against abortion has the record for the most executions ever as governor of Texas.
The other thing I really do not like or appreciate is the President's use of his religion to get re-elected. That to me is very unchristian like to use God to further his political agenda. It reminds me of a preacher begging for money on tv to further his ministry to the poor in his representation of God as a prophet while he himself is wearing a thousand dollar suit and wearing a rolex.
