There is no way I can separate my value system into “religious” and “non-religious” parts.
It’s the need to stand up that makes me politically active. It’s the need to stand for right, for the unborn, the vunerable, the small.
What part of me can I check at the door? My belief in justice? My belief that life is valuable in all its’ stages, and that to give up that belief turns us into tools of the state, available to be manipulated by some state or court mandated definition of when you are a person or not? The need to fight against the pc attitudes that say “diversity is the new holiness, and to heck with the first amendment?”
I cannot divide my soul, nor can I be quiet. I will not buckle up and sit in the back of the bus.
Preach it, sister.
