No, don't discount religion in your thought process, but don't use religion as a political argument. That's my point.
Our religion told us it was true long before the science of DNA proved it to be true. I've been trying for 10 years to get DNA into the abortion discussion and I believe we can win by using it, but we'll never make headway as long as the other side can dismiss us as religious fanatics.
As a man thinketh, so is he.
I don't think we can compartmentalize our processes ... truth is not up for arbitration, nor is there one truth for one subject, and another for another.
I understand what you say, I just don't agree.
Judges judge, based on how they think, and the greatest and most admired are those that have a Christian mindset .. thought process.
You can't separate the two.
