The Role of Religion in This Year's Election

I was taught to THINK for myself, I realize this is a new concept for the right wing, I an not a republican nor a Democrat, I am an independent, I do not believe that ANYONE be he president of the United States, my Spiritual Support or my husband has the right to tell me what to do with my body.

Now wait I know you are all going to jump on the last one so let me explain. I believe it is my body and as such it is my choice, however, having an abortion is not something I would do lightly or for that matter is it a choice I would ever make, however, I will die for the right of my children to make a decission based on what is best for them. If an abortion was a decission I was faced with I would include my family in that matter because Reality is it effects them, however, in the end the decission rests solely on my shoulders.

Does life begin at Conception? That is a great question, there has been no child delivered in the first term of pregnancy that has been able to survive outside the womb for more than a few minutes, the life of the child is literally connected to the mother, simple biology people, look it up, a child in the first trimester can not breath on its own it has no lungs, a child in the first trimester can not perform any kind of function because its brain has not formed, so does life begin at Conception? You tell me!

And what about Rape victims? shouldnt they be allowed to decide if they want to carry the child of a rapist and if they do not wish too where are they suppose to go? I do not want my government telling me what I should or shouldnt do in this case, I have a mind and I have my own ideals, that is the great thing about this country we can All of Us say what we want and think what we want, whether you like Palin and McCain or Obama and Biden you can not escape the fact that even with the night mare we live in right now we have more than any other country in the world.

I choose not to have an abortion, I love my children, however, That doesnt mean that other women shouldnt have that choice, ok so it is not your choice, does that give you the right to tell others what to do? NOOOO ultimately that right belongs solely with Your Gods doesnt it?

Religion has no place in Politics or schools, and the less they interfer with ourlives and the more they tend to the other things this country needs the better off we will all be. I agree with Ted, there is no place in Politics for Religion, there are much bigger issues in this country.

I was raised to believe

that RELIGION was a "Force for Good"

that you should love one another

and honor your parents

respect another man's property

and keep your hands to yourself

until, they are requested

I was raised to believe

but then, I watch the NEWS

and see the "State of the World" today

death tolls rising all around the globe

all of the "ACTS of WAR" are in play

but most of all RELIGION

now, it seems ok to hate your neighbor

it seems ok, to kill another human being

if you don't believe as I believe

death in the name of RELIGION

I was raised to believe

And then, I see the NEWS

there is death in the Sudan

no end to the violence in the Middle East

while suicide bombers have visions of virgins

thinking the lives they take are justified

because, "the infidels must die"

now it seems, that "Force for Good"

conflicts with, free will and free thinking

it has become the "Face of War"

I was raised to believe

All around the globe, threats and death prevail

while the voice of reason is silenced

Christians, Jews and Muslims all fighting

for theological supremacy

all in the name of RELIGION

now it seems, this "Force for Good"

is full of saber rattling and preemptive strikes

refugees and migrants all seeking peace

running from the face of RELIGION

I was raised to believe
