It’s Not Just Muslims: Christians Play the Victim Card, Too
Vanfonthewg,
I disagree with your view of a democratic state. Laws, in a democratic republic, reflect many human traits. When voters choose to support a candidate or a law being put before the electorate, they will make their choice according to their self interest. For many, their self interest is a reflection of their beliefs and some of these beliefs, most of these beliefs, are based on moral codes affirmed, confirmed, and introduced to them by their religion or a lack there of. Asking people with religious affiliation to leave their affiliation out of their politics is like asking a doctor to leave his medical training out of a meeting of a board of health. You are asking people to vote as if they do not have the biases, ideas, aspirations and training that they do. It is impossible.
Sorry Greg,
I was slow on the uptake. The fact that I took you seriously is as much a reflection of the sort of commentary I sometimes read as it is of my fatigue. Thanks for correcting me.
Oh, and I think the woman who refuses to be involved with these civil unions should simply leave her job.
