"It's not just a matter of faith, it's a matter of science"
A quote from the Republican leader Bill Frist once again proves that religion is just religion to those who consider themselves men of faith. Forget about having your faith influence your thoughts and actions, faith is faith and politics are politics. Or in this case, science is science and the two do not mix. The story is getting old from those who pretend to have faith but allow political inflences to trump it.
Again, the idea of being a Christian is to be Christ-like. Apart from that goal ruling your thoughts and actions, you are not a Christian. So what are our leaders, elected by a majority of Christian conservatives, thinking when they turn from what is right, and support what is evil, and say it is not an issue of faith? How can a Christian use and support the murder of innocence to "alleviate so much suffering (Nancy Reagan)?" Are they Christian at all?
Stem cell research is just what the pro-choice movement needs to validate the act of abortion. While we have a President who is looking to subtly find a way to end the mass murder of abortion, his polical party leaders in Congress are backing the evil minority! The fact is most people believe abortion is wrong, and these Senators who were elected by the conservative Christian majority in the Republican party, are muddying the waters with this idea that the use of stem cells are apart from morality and soley and issue of science because they can potentially do some good.
Where do these so-called pro-life leaders think these stem cells come from? They come from playing God by creating, studying, testing, and then destroying embryos. This is the opposite of the whole point for being pro-life. God alone makes life and we have no right as humans to try to create or take it apart from the ways He had allowed, through the scripture, in a civil society.
The issue doesn't just end with the idea of allowing medical testing with these embyos, but is with the idea that federal funds could be used to support this. The majority of voters backed President Bush, who is against this funding. For a Senate to go against the President, a Senate who has a majority that is the same party as the President, is wrong. It is wrong that near half or more of Americans may not even support this idea of federal funding for such a research, yet our taxes may be used to support it. The same issue occurs in California and other states concerning abortion. Tax dollars are used to help fund abortions for poor women who want one yet a majority of Californians (though not necessarily pro-life) believe abortion is wrong.
We cannot allow our Christian votes to support the Republican party. I believe in the sovreinty of God and His will WILL be done. We need to vote for the best overall canidate and no longer comprimise. The more we comprimise for the sake of trying to "beat the Democrats" or save the Republican party, the farther we will fall out of morality into this political compromise.
