[quote=Anonymous]a priest at church made an interesting point that society tries to "modernize" jesus and almost water down his entire message to the point where simply being "good" and "nice" to people is all it takes to go to heaven. he made the point that if the message was simply about being nice and good, then jesus wouldnt have been crucified cause its not as if that message is so extreme to warrant the backlash he got during life.

i say all this because whatever you believe, most people gravitate towards religion to have some sort of foundation to live up to. sure many of us had pre marital sex, drink, curse, eat pork, dont pray everyday or break a host of sins or rules laid out by our respective religions but at the end of the day, we all try to be good and live up to some standard outlined in the foundation set by whatever we worship.

elected officials shouldnt force religion down our throat or legislate as such. they can use the foundation of their religion (whatever it is) to help set the standard or guide them to doing "what is right" maybe but its nobody's right to make laws forcing people to do something because its right or wrong in their religious view.

im far from a strict by the book catholic but government shouldnt be telling the church what to do or how to think about abortion or gay marriage (in extreme cases). while i personally disagree with the church's stance, i dont think government should impose their will on the church towards the "right side" of the argument.

i just think both parties waste way too much time debating religion when its a personal preference[/quote]
