5. such hypocrisy
Anyone like to assist me with this?

I am around these nut-cases quite a bit, but what I would like to do is present a succinct argument that proves on balance, that from a Christian standpoint, Democratic ideals outweigh Republican ideals. Abortion is just one point, one issue that does not justify all the other evils that are being done. These evils consist of lying, stealing, killing innocents which includes the torture and slaughter of innocent beasts such as Palin does to wolves.

For instance, lets take the inquisition. Based on one issue logic, was it the right thing to do to torture and all of those people based on the idea that they might be a heretic or a witch? Was it? If that one issue had been abortion instead of heresy, would it then have been the right thing to do? Would it be something Christians today would be proud of? Would it be something that Jesus would look favorably upon?

One can be against abortion and I have no problem with their opinions of this. However, are they willing to throw the baby out with the bathwater with regards to their most cherished religious beliefs in order to accomplish an end to abortion. If the answer is yes, then I would tell these people that they need to go back to their bibles, and they need to look into their hearts, and that it would be a very good thing if they took some time to really analyze their real motivations along with how close they are to their savior. If he is really in their heart, then their answer would be something entirely different.
