Free will, eh? So, in an exercise of free will, the Christian thing to do is kill you, Kirsten? That seems a little harsh.
Where does one start with a person as screwed up, uneducated and misinformed as this?
Oh, yeah. With a politician.
So opposing abortion is an attempt to impose the Christian faith on others? I see nothing that requires people to adopt the Christian faith or creeds. I see people and politicians arguing that human life is sacred and should not be subject to subjective termination but that is not an exclusive Christian concept. Many cultures and faiths have expressed the same thing.
A wise man once said there is nothing new under the sun. This is especially true in the expression of values and what we call universal truths. We can always find these have been expressed before, sometimes many times and from many sources beforehand. What people are doing is expressing their own heartfelt values and principles and the source of those values can always be traced to someone else, be it the Bible, the Sanskrit, the Quran, Confucias, Plato, Marx, Rousseau, Freud, Nietzsche, etc. etc.
Should the government have the power to censor heartfelt views of citizens based on the source of those views? If one quotes a Chinese proverb, is he imposing Chinese culture on the listeners? The vegetables in the garden belong to the gardener and not the seed seller. We need to stand up and say, “no, this is not my church speaking, this is me, a citizen, who has the right to express my thoughts, opinions and concerns.”
