I don't watch televised news, but I should have remembered from reading the papers. Thanks.
But I'm not sure what all this has to do with what we were talking about... ministers preaching politics to their congregations.
Churches being used for political gain, that's what.
This conversation has gone from Terry Schiavo to constitution to separation of church and state to the current topic.
The fact of the matter is this. How do you look at life? Do you look at it as a simple matter where everybody that is unproductive needs to be killed? Or do you look at it as something that needs to be protected, regardless of who you are?
Imagine we know nothing about the case, nothing about the Schiavo's, and nothing about what is going on except that the husband wants to end his wife's life and her parents want to see her survive and be taken care of. In that circumstance, yes, it should be left up to the husband.
BUT, if you take into consideration what we do know, take into consideration the facts of the case, the allegations in the case, and the simple fact that her parents WANT to take care of this woman, it makes it a whole different ball game.
Church separation is NOT in the Constitution, but for some reason everybody believes it is. No where does it say that the church will not play an influence in our society. But that's what so many people are pushing. I could go into what has happened with the decline of the church in America, but that's for another topic, another day. Oh wait, no its not. It's this topic, where so many people deem Terry Schiavo to be a waste of energy who needs to be killed. We've had a statement made about the fact that unproductive people need to be killed. Doesn't anybody see where this is heading? Anybody here feel they will be a burden to your children when you are old enough to require full time medical attention? Would you rather be killed because you are a burden to them, or would you rather teach your kids to respect your life, and learn from the wisdom you have gained from your life?
WAKE UP PEOPLE!! We can't go around killing everybody that is not productive in our society, including Terry Schiavo. Don't you think that if this hadn't been that big of a deal she would have been let go in peace 13 years ago? No, her parents don't want to see their daughter die at the hands of this jerk who calls himself her husband, who left his wife years ago for another. There is more to the story than just the fact that she's in the state she's in and her husband feels it's time for her to go on. He wants her dead for some reason or another, and for our country's sake, I hope and pray that the feeding tube is reinserted.
