On Abortion and Gay Rights, Evangelicals and Liberals Join to Advise Obama

Why do these “Evangelicals” (who, by the way have hijacked
the Christian ‘Faith’ in America from those who most would
call 'the TRUE Followers of Christ' — making it into a “religion”
of both ‘worshipping-mammon and legislating-morality’) seem
to arrogantly think that God is so ready and willing to “punish
America for all the aborted babies” — and YET also somehow
manage to believe that God is (perfectly accepting of and)
NOT at all willing to “punish America for any of the …?
1) American Indians murdered for their land;
2) People (of all “races”) held in slavery (chattel,
indentured-servitude, debt, wage, etc.) in the nation;
3) Abused and exploited vulnerable people
(children, women, elderly, sickly, poor, etc.)
3) Rape and destruction of the ecology
(not to mention corporate-welfare
at the expense of the most needy);
4) Miscarriages of justice in the courts;
5) etc. and so on.” ?!?!?!?!
Why do they honestly (and arrogantly — not to
mention ‘unscripturally’) think that God is ONLY
concerned with the things that “bother them”?!?!?!
In my opinion — those aborted fetuses will have a long line
of OTHER INJUSTICES (MADE AGAINST MANY OTHER
GROUPS IN AMERICA) to stand behind — before they get
their chance to present their “demands to God for justice”.
Also — why does it seem that the very same people who are
against gender right’s, reproductive rights; sexual rights;
work wage rights, education rights; social rights; equality
rights; etc. — often seem to have ‘no problem’ at all with
the many other SAD FACTS ABOUT AMERICA (such as
the past slavery/segregation-system; the destruction of
98% of the indigenous-people of the land; etc. and so
on -- NONE OF WHICH the nation, as a whole -- nor
any of it's leadership has EVER repented of; asked
God to forgive/pardon; or attempted to 'make amends').
Seriously … talk about cherry-picking of ‘abominations’!
They are simply Unbelieveable !!!!

The BIBLE says in I Corinthians 6 and several other places that one who practices this sin and others will not enter the Kingdom of God. Remember Sodom and Gomarah; it was destroyed by fire. Speak the truth in love; TRUST JESUS. W k

We are all equal regardless of sexual orientation--which is NOT a choice but a human characteristic (Jesus' most important message is to love one another as he has loved us). He never would have discriminated like you hateful bigots.

In the words of finding common ground the word sin is left out. How does one compromise the message of the gospel> We have 50 million dead children because of abortion. And the president has already signed the mexico bill for U.S. taxpayers to fund abortions in Mexico. He also has said in his first hundred days he will sign into law the freedom of choice act,abortion on demand for any reason at any stage of pregnancy. Yep that includes partial birth abortion and babies who survive abortions. How many dead children will be enough for this country to say enough! Aveda King Martin Luther King's neice has said,abortion is founded and maintained,and promoted on lies.She has spoken out on the high percentages of beautiful black children who have died because of abortion. But recognizes all babies are beautiful and should live and be loved. The adults who have sex without taking responsibility is what abortion is all about. Too many women use abortion as birth control. If homosexual groups want tolerance shouldn't they not show the same tolerance for those who do not accept living an active homosexual lifestyle according to their religion of faith.It has to be both ways. Some people believe once homosexual marriage is a political given right then anyone who opposes it on religious grounds will be abused. Example of abuse,the way the Mormons and others who voted for prop.8 were treated. Christians who do not accept the homosexual lifestyle is NOT about hate! If you saw someone crossing the street and a big truck was bearing down on them but they couldn't hear or see it, what would we as neighbors do? We would like to think we would push them out of the way of the on coming vehicle. Save their life! That is the view of eternal death that we don't want anyone to experience. Sometimes surrounding ourselves with people who only agree with you does not mean they love you. It's called indifference,they really don't care. And let us not forget the ways the government has tried to take the place of God. Global warming has been the number one issue for years,it's climate change. Does anyone believe that we the human race are capable of controlling the climate? In the UK you have a member of government speaks using green logic that people should not have anymore children than two. We need more birth control and more abortions! We the people of this country have got to be vigilant in letting the government get too much in our lives. Do we really want the government deciding when a child is a child and who lives and who dies. These people,politicians don't even pay their taxes,and they make the rules.

I'm so glad to see some people trying for common ground. How sad that others attack them for it. What has always mystified me, however, is that the same group that says gays are evil and wants to take away their civil rights also campaigns for the rights of people who aren't even born. Let's compromise in the middle and give everyone rights, from the time they are conceived and no matter what lifestyle decisions they may make. Perhaps then people on both sides can truly say they believe in love.

ALL I CAN SAY IS GOD COME QUICKLY. WHAT A MESS WE HAVE GOT OURSELVES INTO. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LEAVE GOD OUT.

If religious organizations are exempted from prohibition of discrimination against gays, then gay organizations should be exempt from prohibition against religious discrimination.
