Of course former Senator Hart would say these things. Pure religion to Liberals is a "Journey" which leaves evry bit of room they desire to disregard what they do not liek about their claimed faith and say that you are intolerant for embracing what they reject. Classic, and by the way...its what Satan did to Jesus when he tempted HIM in the desert. Used a little bit of truth to deceive.
Deceived only us, not Jesus.
According to the Bible, Jesus knew that the 'devil' tempted him, in the desert. Yet few understand the truth of this story.
Jesus knew it was a step in the wrong direction.
Many, including politicians, to find relief from the desert, give over to temptation from the 'devil' every day.
That the Democratic politicians have given every member Cliff notes to use to try and beat those who do not take shortcuts to life, shows where the 'devil' is at work.
President Bush had to contend with just this issue back when he was Governor of Texas. A female inmate scheduled for execution had 'gotten religion' after being in prison.
The 'devil' tempted Governor Bush. Offered him widespread acceptance. Re-election. Support from the media. All the power over what he could see.
When you can answer why they turned it down, then you understand the truth of the story in the Bible.
