What do religious leaders want for Obama’s next four years?

63. O.K., so here's a point

Let's take your staement:
"If the only reason you can give to take a political action is religious, then you, by arguing for that action, are trying to impose your religious beliefs on others."

Understood - I'm on your side.

But if you have other "logical" reasons for an action that's o.k.

Now, if you justify your desire for an action with a "logical" motivation
you still may have a religious reason but that's not the point.

The point is what you said before - if you do have a "logical" motivation
then people are just discussing the best way to deal with a problem.

At some point you just have to be able to have a discussion or nothing ever gets resolved.

So I do agree with you. If the ONLY reason you have for doing something is religious
and it's just based on faith then the other person has the right to either agree or disagree
with the motivation for the action.

An example: I don't want someone to tell me if I can use contraception or have an abortion
or eat meat on Friday or if I can eat pork or whatever because of religious beliefs. Now, if
someone says I shouldn't eat beef because we have a mad cow outbreak then, it is still
my choice but I have a reason that is based in logic.

Sorry, I'm out of wind on this one...later
