It's too bad that so many people feel the need to dictate how others should live their life. When it comes to abortion, gay marriage, etc. why should it matter to someone else?
Pro-life? Why? We have over 6,000,000,000 people on the planet so I don't think we're in deperate need to procreate.
Against gay marriage? Why? Worried that they might actually want to live a normal life like everyone else. I guess "The Jesus" freaks don't believe that everyone is equal.

These are the same people who want government to stay out of people's business... fiscally, that is. However they want to get into our most intimate matters such as the bedroom and our bodies. It makes absolutely no sense to allow people who believe in some seven-headed demon to have so much influence in drafting any policies whatsoever - whether they're local, national and especially foreign policies.

I'm not sure what to make of it?

Is oil the god!

Since the U.S.A are trying to control, by any way they can, are they hoping to control god.

The U.S.A having ousted the group of born again christian out of the White house maybe wi'ill be living in a safer environment.

But alas we must be on guard for those who want to integrate the civil service.

Creationisme will be the law.
