I'm pro-life yet not very religious, though I call myself a Christian. The small religious part of me has nothing to do with my pro-life views.

That said, I am FOR the pill, FOR plan B, and do support the right to abortion in the case of rape or medical necessity (only).

That is SO ridiculous.

How about this, the religious can't live their own life or have ANY type of self responsibility so they rely on a magical being to tell them right from wrong. Without the bible, all religious people would murder, rape and steal because without a book telling them what to do they would go crazy. Instead of taking responsibility for doing something bad, you say the devil made you do it. Instead of being humble and giving/taking credit where credit is due, you blame it on 'god'. Doctors get no recognition for saving a life because it's a 'miracle' etc.

Now, I know that's not true because I know a lot of really good religious people, but basing stereotypes on extremes is absolutely stupid.

Although I am religious, I rarely if ever use religion to support any argument I make.

The liberal media has invested a lot of time, money, and creditability on Obama. If he fails then they have lost a hell of a lot that's why we keep hearing that the Republicans have to change. B---S--- staying true to the conservative principals is the only way truth will be known. I believe in the Bible, guns and everybody paying his share of taxes not just one group. If you pay taxes then the citizens are invested in the system and pay attention to how it is spent. That is the truth that the Democratic party keeps hidden.

Do you have ANY idea how absolutely insane it sounds for you to say you believe in the Bible and Guns????

The two are absolutely diametrically opposed...

Unless, of course, you can quote the chapter and verses where it is written that it is OK for a believer to own an AR-15 or Ak-47 with an extended clip, or a shot gun, or even a simple assault rifle (semi-automatic at best of course - no fully automatic weapons could ever be allowed by the Bible)...

Oh - I see - when it is written in the Bible 'He who lives by the sword shall die by the sword' - you took it literally - and felt that it was a conscious exemption by God that allowed fully and semi-automatic weapons to slip thru with his blessing...

ROFLMAO!!!

Oh, yeah, I forgot. You want your "tent" to be as small as possible.

You don't need to tell me what I'm trying to say. I can speak quite clearly.

The Palin girl chose to keep her baby. That's the point. Her mother talked about it as a "decision" that she was proud of. If they were truly anti-abortion, they wouldn't have even thought about it as a decision.

So in your book, in order to be a real Republican, you must believe that abortion should be illegal. Is that correct?

Jesus told his followers to sell their clothes and buy swords. Check.
