The Religious Wars...Where are They?

     Where is Obama's war on religion?
Why does providing contraception raise a 'serious moral concern?"
Insurance companies must offer contraception This doesn't mean every woman must stand, mouth open, and then force fed these pills.
     It is about time women are considered gender equal when it comes to health care.
     Believe me, if men were the ones who carried babies for nine months, and then gave birth, they would be howling for a contraception pill As women, all who have had he pleasure of going through the birth of a child, KNOW, that is a true statement.
     Ladies?
How is access to a birth control, an infringement on religious liberty.This puzzles me
     I agree with Mr Obama's statement in which he said, "No woman's health care should depend on who she is, or where she works or how much money she makes."
     Her freedom to have birth control is a religious liberty as well.
     Contraception should not be withheld by a woman's employer or a politician.
     Once again religion wants to hold our uterus' for ransom. We only get them back if we say 'yes' to babies.
I suppose 'how many' is the question to ask..HMMM?

Christ-Crossed

    I read this today. It leaves me in a quandary. A quandary which pushed me to a state of ,'What the --'

"the concept of being 'chosen' is so racist it has no place in this day and age. the fact that Jews make up a tiny minority in the world 'their God's pronouncements', are irrelevant to most people."

-chosen is discriminatory-

-chosen is in the bible-

-chosen is outdated-

Going along this thread, in this vein.....

.is the bible out dated?

.is it the old testament that is out dated?

.the book of 'isaiah' is in the old testament.

.Christians believe Isaiah tells the prophecy of Jesus.

.is the belief in Jesus out dated?

THE FIRST, DOES ISSUE THE LAST.

Squeezed from the World Marble Game

     The United States is losing it's power. Is she the laughing stock of the world? 
     Slowly, the U.S. is isolating itself. It has pulled itself from the Middle East, Israel in particular.
     The feeling I get, and feel, is, America seems to be putting her arms around herself.  Yes, we still give money to Egypt. A large bribe to befriend Israel, not to break the peace treaty with the country, as well as so many other countries.
     The Saudis are building their own coalition against Iran.
     Even the Palestinian Authority is striking out on it's own.
     Every man for himself.
     Why isn't the U.S. taking the threat of Iranian nukes seriously?  Iran wants nothing to do with the United States, and right now, this seems okay in Washington.
     Well, I don't think it's OKAY!!
     Iran doesn't care to talk since they want to drive the U.S. from the region.
     America is being squeezed out of the great marble game in the world.  She seems to be the odd lady out.
     This does not bode well for the U.S.
 She looks like one of the pussies of the world.  She was so powerful, at one point, everyone did what she said, and quaked at her granduer and power.  Falling apart, peices are flying away.  It is sad, very sad.  But then,, the world power players are changing, and now at this time, it seems to be happening fast. Very fast.  Weep for her, I do. And wonder with baited breath, what will happen next. What now will be her destiny...the rock, turned to gel, and is now turning to liquid, reminds me of the glaciers.. they were soaring eagles at one time, now they bleed their water into the sea.

thank you for reading
