Why anyone would ask another poster on TOTV a question like that (and as I said, you are not the only with questions I, ME..myopinion...question) is beyond me. That question is reserved for your religious advisor and for you to feel in your soul. It does not matter what the poster responds.

I understand that pain that goes with the question for sure. I cannot imagine broaching it to anyone on here.

If I am out of line, I am sorry......I should stay out of this....as I said, I think discussion of religious beliefs is so much more of a non starter than politics ever could hope to be.

My only other comment would be.....perhaps love of political party has superceded our love of God and religion or any beliefs and that is why it is allowed.

I know that I can be swayed by a good political argument, but my religious beliefs are imbedded in my heart and soul and will never be shaken

PS....Whatever response you get will not shake your current belief and shouldn't.
I'm sorry Bucco, but I have no idea what you are saying here. I have questions which, in my mind, are legitimate. I have no religious "Advisor" as I don't know anyone who was present in Jesus' time, or that translated the original text of the Bible. I don't really totally trust anyone in the religion business, or lay people that claim to be in possession of the one and only truth. I am a Christian without all the answers and skeptical of those who think they have them.
