General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: So I'm Grabbing Some Cheese At The Grocery Store... [View all]This is, ultimately, my point. The zero-sum game we stuggle to maintain in this country must transform into something more reality based then where we are at right now. Just because a person shows the public a religious face, this means they get a free pass and I don't because I'm not religious?
Then why didn't/doesn't the overtly religious George Bush get a free pass? How many laws did he break, how many people did he hurt, in the name of his religion?
My 21 year old niece died a few months ago from chemo for Ewing's Sarcoma. Had Mr. Bush not stopped stem cell research 12 fucking years ago because of his religious disagreement to it, my niece might have been able to grow a new set of her own lungs, and still be alive today.
So I am all for ending the zero sum game and interjecting a bit of reality into our culture...
