ONE love, blood, life
I do understand that, many "liberals" do use God and religion when justifying their arguments and I think that is piss poor as well. And I have not seen too many religious arguments about a right to life.Macfistowannabe said:I am very curious here, your post is based on religion vs secularism. Yet, I haven't seen one conservative on here rage about what God wants for her. In fact, I've seen a number of liberals do that.
It seems that a significant piece of the lobbying in this particular case against pulling the plug is from certain Christian groups and these groups are aligned with the GOP. I myself would ally with the more libertarian elements of that party, and would hope to see them be the driving force ~ in this particular case the libertarian in me says hands off. The government should not get involved.
So to answer your question, political discourse and government must be kept seperate from religion. Christianity in the US is a force in the demographics as well as the politics so that distinction seems to get blurred. And when this happens badness seems to follow. The US is not a theocracy and neither is it's government, it is just that people are hyper-sensitive when that strip of grey starts to change.
Take no action and do no harm would seem to lend itself to the leave as is path. But I really don't think that dead or alive makes any difference to Terri because from what I have read all that is there is a body.
