Posted July 9, 2009

Faith

I think it safe to say that obama looks too satan for ansers.

Shame on churches?

Shame on you for claiming that prolifers are only prolife to make money. The prolife stance is about conviction. Too many people today say you can do whatever you want if you think it's ok and if it makes life easier for you. People who have abortions because it's inconvenient are showing a lack of repsonsibility, which is a major problem in our country. So if it's ok to abort a baby (not talking about taking the morning after pill) because of economic reasons, does that mean it's ok to kill someone because of economic reasons? Like if they take your job? Isn't that about the same thing? Maybe that's why there's been so many killings in offices. And abortion is the reason why so many mothers have thrown their babies in trashcans or dumpsters after the baby is born. In their eyes, it's probably the same as having an abortion just before the baby is born. Abortion devalues human life.

As for Obama, he just uses these "religious" leaders to accomplish his liberal agenda.

Obama And Faith

As a true American I appreciate the faith in Christ as foundation stsone of life of Obama.The faith would lead him to

conclude many of the tricky situation whcih the country faces.

It is very essential that American people should have a good health and death policy of life.First fifty years of human life should be healthy.The next fifty years is the decline of health leading to death.This second period of decline one should have good health care at cheaper rate so that one could face death grafefully.I appreciate his promise of giving good health care to all who are poor and weak.Obama's faith is reflection of Sermon on the Mount.
