I've got to say that this post just told me everything I need to know about you.

Of course you have no problem with assisted suicide/euthanasia, your problem is with several thousand years of Judeo-Christian teaching against it.

Are you aware that Free Republic is a PRO-LIFE forum?

I'm not a Christian, and the movie is about watching a man be tortured to death. I understand that Christians find this inspirational because it's Jesus Christ (whom they believe to be God incarnate) taking the sins of mankind upon himself, but please understand that to someone who doesn't believe that it just appears grotesque.

It's also pro-God, but I haven't had any problem posting about being an atheist. I would describe myself as conservative in most areas, but leaning Libertarian on some issues. Does that disqualify me from posting on this board?
