quote:Where do people get their morals from? Not the government, but rather religion. They go hand in hand. How can you be against gay marriage but be ok with abortion? Just wondering.
Fighting,
For the record i am against abortion, i find it heinous, and partial birth abortion barbarous.
The abortion issue is the one issue that keeps me from voting democrat.
In a sense you are correct, it is hard to separate morals from some kind of religious tenet. I am only making the case from the humanist standpoint that so pervades the moral compass of our nation. We all agree murder is wrong, rape is wrong, stealing is wrong, if we look at the moral implications of these actions we can find a basis to defend both the pro-life position and the defense of traditional marriage. If we thump our bibles, and make our case based on divine knowledge, we have lost the argument as the humanist sees it, because they reject religion outright. We have to make a logical argument based on rational reason.
