(39,961 posts)Fundamental Christianity has more than a passing resemblance to Fundamental Islam. Both want to impose their religious beliefs on you. The funny thing is, I'm still waiting to hear what flavor of Christianity they want. Do they want Pentecostal, which dictates that women must wear skirts and can't cut their hair, do they want Baptists who believe dancing is wrong, or do they want Catholic which thinks dancing is okay? Or how about Presbyterians, Lutherans and Episcopalian Christian churches who not only don't believe monogamous homosexual relationships are wrong, but also allow their pastors to be openly gay?
When you talk about "Christianity", they all don't agree. We could revert to being a "Christian" nation, and still guarantee 100% of the population would have their religious beliefs offended in some way. That's why we have separation of Church and State.
In any case, Santorum is a major hypocrite. It's fine for HIS wife to have a second trimester abortion if HER life is threatened, but if it's YOUR life that is threatened or the life of a woman YOU care about, it's not okay. He's one of those that wants to tell you how to live, but doesn't want anyone telling him how to live. That's a recipe for idiotic leadership.
