Republicans make decisions by what they want God to tell them.

But when God speaks to you how do you know the difference.

Jesus' words as recorded in the Gospels

As God told the authors.

Jesus' words as recorded in the Gospels

As God told the authors.

The Bible was written by people who believed they were insired by God. It was not written by God, nor was it dictated by God. That, by the way, was the official teaching of the Catholic schools I went to. If God wrote the Bible, why are there so many contradictions in it (i.e., how did Judas Iscariot die?).

How do I know the difference? How does anyone know the difference. Religion is a personal thing. People on this board have certainly told me that when I believe to hear the voice of God, I'm actually experiencing delusions.

For the record, Democrats also make decisions based on their religion. My wife is a life-long democrat currently working to help defeat CA proposition 8. She has a Master's of Divinity and is scheduled to be ordained as a Christian minister this November. She is working for this particular piece of social justice because of her religion. She's not alone in this regard, too.

I have no problem in people being motivated by God they just need to do action based on rational facts and thought.

It is when there is no evidence (weapons of mass destruction) that a higher power instructed a leader to start a war that belief's cause horror. Positive thinking is not a plan that works by it self.You need to take all the steps necessary based on facts to be  successful.

common decency demands

Common decency demands, well, at least common decency, and I don't see much.

And Teddy's driving problems were not exactly not covered by the press, it was a huge story, and pretty much cost him the Presidency.  So using Ted, well, it pretty much makes my point that huge laps in personal judgments pretty much disqualify you from the office, and a very personal and very huge failure of a moral stance that she not only takes, but attempts to force her morality on other people.  So, its fair and valid to ask the Dr. Phil question, So, How's the working out for you?

If a moral policy is not working out in her own family (and where was she while her little snowflake was busy making the beast with two backs? - is that good parenting?  Something we should celebrate, promote and endorse?) then by what right does she shove it on to the rest of us who don't share her faith, her standards, or her morality - or lack thereof, as we will find out.

And if your busy using your kids as props, then we are right and valid to ask just how good their lives are.
