I respect your opinion but at the same time I think you ought to consider what your demands represent... what if Islam was the major religion here.. what if paganism was? Would you want murder to be acceptable if Pagan's ran the gov't.. anchary in it's true form? You have to realize that when you push certain moral and ethical boundries onto people that you have view the situation from their eyes. "If I don't believe in God.. in the *** that I was dating stupid condom broke.. if i'm broke.. if I'm better off taking care of my existing kids.. who are you to tell me what is amoral?" You may not like that arguement very much but that's the way life is. People are given a choice by God whether to believe in him or not... If they choose not it is not our place as Christians to force our beliefs into them.

As Christians we are bound to protect life wherever and under all circumstances.

LOL! You sound like the way I thought up till about 10 years ago.
What right does any man have to tell me what to do!
If Islam was the major religion here, we would no longer have the United States of America.
You would not have a computer. You probably would not even know how to read or write.
What has made this country what it is is it's Judeo/Christian values.
That means living by the 10 Commandments, ALL of them.
Throw our morality away and we will cease to be the most powerful nation in the world.
