I think the government is too big butWhat the GOP needs to do is stop calling Government workers parasites on the tax dollars.

I would never support abortion butWhat the GOP needs to do is stop calling Pro-choice people baby killers.

I believe in our higher power butWhat the GOP needs to do is stop stop asking GOD to fix the problems and come up with solutions that will benefit enough Americans to get elected.

What the GOP needs to do to get elected is find a candidate that speaks for Americans and not just a hand full of special interest groups. When we support the likes of Perry, Palin, Bachmann, we are wasting our vote and fragmenting the party into oblivion. But at least the Liberals love it, so some good comes out of it.

All of the above is good, but all that WE THE PEOPLE need to do, is actually make the government follow the Constitution.

Finally!!!! Someone from the right that makes sense.

Imagine if God answered some of those - might He say "I sent Jesus and he showed you what to do but you have no charity for the meek!"

I am heading for the golf course right now, but will take this thought with me for afternoon posting.

Great posting, Villager II.

Just curious to what Jesus would think about aborting babies?

Really?; you can't figure this theological question, in keeping with Christianity, out? C'mon, you know the answer.

Well, I'll say it. No one who believes in Jesus as Lord can, in keeping with their faith, be pro-abortion. End of story.

I have worked with many families who felt like you just stated until their young daughters got pregnant.....and NO I had nothing to do with abortion clinics or Family Planning.

I know what you're saying. I have a family member who is an every Sunday going to church lady, and lives a normal Christian life. Yet; she's pro-abortion (she would say pro-choice; but it means the same thing), for all the reason's people have. It does not jive with any serious teaching or practice of a devout Christian to believe in the aborting of a human life.

I don't want to get into a whole social consciousness discussion here; I'm just speaking as to the practice of Christianity.

My departure from strict Christian teaching is in the prevention of conception, as in "birth control". I think the Church needs to rethink that. I don't think Jesus would have much to say to that, either. Pre-conception is not life, in my way of thinking and the Church should step back on that teaching.

Not in my opinion. I am firmly against anyone having an abortion, however, I would vote pro-choice over and over. I say it is far to serious of a decision for one person to make for another. And I especially have a problem with men telling women they are wrong. The law of the United States deems it legal, so abide by the law or change the law, but stay out other peoples business.

Pro-choice and pro-abortion are two entirely different beliefs. I am a Christian and I am a citizen of the United States. Our laws respect both the rights of the mother and the rights of the infant. As an American, I must respect these laws providing liberty to others just as I respect those laws that provide freedom of speech.

Christ was very clear when he said, "Render unto Cesar that which is Cesar's and render unto God that which is God's." I do not favor abortion, but I also do not have the right to impose my views on others.

I agree with you, but the Church has it's stand on the issue, so it is a sin whether you agree with it or not. I am always fascinated by people's religious beliefs versus what they tell themselves to make the things that they do, which do not jive with the their religions teachings, to make it OK. I think most people do this, regardless of their religion. I do it; you do it and I think most everyone does. For heaven's sake, how many folks break the no premartial sex tenet?
I went to Loyola University and got to know so many priests and nuns and was "shocked" at their private beliefs versus the "party line." I was young and foolish then...LOL. Nothing much shocks me now.
