“Per your web page — I don’t believe that traditional religion is the enemy. I just don’t want you shoving your religion down my throat. In other words — you don’t believe in abortion because of your religion — fine. My religion tells me it’s up to each person to decide. Your religion tells you gays don’t deserve equal rights — fine. My religion says I don’t have the right to judge them or deny them their rights. And if you think you understand God so well — you are thinking much too small.”
— Excerpted from an e-mail received this morning from a “fan” who probably attends the Jesse Jackson Liberalism Seminary.
Although the e-mailer came to my “house”, she perceives that I’m “shoving” my religion “down her throat.” She contends that her god allows women the choice to kill their babies (with no eternal consequences?). She’s also under the mistaken impression that homosexuals don’t have “equal rights” when in fact, they have the same rights as anyone else. What they lobby for are special rights.
She never said who this god is that she worships. I bet I can guess.
Addendum: In a sense, we do have a “choice” to do what we want. Free will is something Christians have studied and debated for centuries. The e-mailer should know, however, that God requires certain things. His law is the whole Bible, and it is very clear on what he expects from us. Our actions have eternal consequences.
