I know that "progressives" feel threatened by people who believe in God. But the irony that arises from their fear of religion is that their own belief system is so cultish. At this point in time, when you ask a "progressive" what they believe in, they'll tell you that they don't know. They're too busy questioning reality and trying to re-invent human nature to something that fits their utopian world view. But the dark underbelly of this is that while on one hand their belief system seems mushy and shapeless, they base their politics on a view of human nature and the world that is fictional. Their politics are based on a "faith" that their brand of "good intentions" can save the world, and that human nature is something that can be shaped, moulded, and pushed toward a higher evolutionary goal. YOu can't believe in the evolution of humanity AND believe that humans have a sin nature that is weak and needs God. It's much like Nazism: the quest for the more perfect world and the more perfect human. You don't have to be a gifted prophet to see that the outcome of progressive philosophy will be similar to the outcome of Nazism.
Would Mr Schiavo change his mind if an investigation is launched looking at the circumstances around the initial incident 15 years ago. If an investigation proved he contributed to her condition by violence, her death would change a battery change to murder.
