I'm
still a Catholic, and as a good Catholic Boy...like most of
them...I'm still against the Vatican's rules...most of them...but, I
do believe in Evolution, among other things. Rick Santorum doesn't
have to believe in Evolution, that's his God given right...but, don't
try to pass his Religious believes on everyone...specially his
radical ideas about the Roman Catholic Church.
The
entire "idea" for the creation of this Nation, is
"Freedom"...not just Freedom Of Speech, but Freedom of
Religion, too...the ability to practice whatever Religion you fucking
want...without Government interference...that's why we have a
Constitution, and a Declaration of Independence.
That
means, "We, the People" are Independent to choose whatever
we want to believe in. Policy positions based on the Bible, or on his
own interpretations of Roman Catholic Theology, just proves the
incompetence this fellow has, if he wants to become the leader of the
free world...you have to base your thoughts and policy ideas, on real
life...and whatever situation arises, that require the President to
act. It's not based on your personal believes, but on what,
realistically... has to be done.
When
the Fathers of this Nation wrote "IN GOD WE TRUST"...they
meant "GOD" as in a Deity, which can be interpreted by all
Religions. Whether it's Jesus Christ, son of God, Jehovah, Elohim,
Allah, El Shaddai, Ishvara, or whoever else...they're all "One"
God. Khalil Gibran once said:"I love you when you bow in
your Mosque, kneel in your Temple, pray in your Church. For you and I
are sons of one religion, and it is the Spirit". The word
"God" is just a word...but, for the Social Conservative
Christian Fundamentalists, their radical approach is to make "God"
Jesus Christ, the official "Spiritual" leader, and the
Christian laws, interpreted from the Bible, by them...as the Laws of
the Land, by the US Government.
It's
ironic that these people favor Crusading in the Middle East and
elsewhere, to change these Theocratic Governments..."Leave
Religion out of Politics, free the people, and make these countries
DEMOCRATIC!!". The Right, wants to take religion out of Politics
for the Muslims, but put religion into Politics, here in America.
Very quietly, they truly want a Holy War against Islam...a Jihad.
They want to relive the Crusades...but, at the end, who won those
Crusades? And who Lost??
It's
not just Rick Santorum, but the Christian Right too. The GOP, Tea
Party, and the far Right, do have very much in common...they all know
how to spell...HYPOCRISY!!!
