I did not want to post on this thread but your mail has forced me to have a frustrated rant.
Bush is against homosexual marriage and abortion and for the 10 commandments.
I think he must have thrown out the one about "Thou Shalt not Kill" or are the little brown people not classed as human in your Christian value structure?
We already know [Bush] is a humble Christian man...
I am sorry, but Kerry is no more honest than Bush..
By your own admission this means that Kerry is either trustworthy or are you saying Christians are not trustworthy?
I think the US should help every country it possibly can. We are a very blessed country and so many just don't see that
The problem is there is a Fox News type definition of "helping" another country and then a reality which removes the help and replaces it with exploit at best and extends to genocide in certain other locations that "need" a Pepsi factory at worst.
If you look at how the US has interfered with geopolitics over the years without your, I am sorry to say, frighteningly brainwashed blinkers on, you will see that they actually bear the major responsibility for forming what is now seen as the axis of evil.
I agree that America is a great country and could really do so much for the World and it is great that a lot of Americans want their country to do this but right now unfortunately there are some very dark forces at work making decisions which will be potentially disastrous for us all and refusing to listen to what anybody else has to say. They are not the forces of good but of deceit, selfishness, destruction and protectionism.
Homosexual marriage and abortion as with all these "side" issues are just about votes, you are the target and it obviously works very well.
Kerry will not change a lot but it will at least give the US the possibility to regain some sort of credibility with the rest of the planets population.
Anybody who claims that Bush is doing Gods work has either totally and wilfully stopped questioning or thinking for themselves or is so brainwashed by the machine that there is little hope of ever getting them back.
If I am praying now it is for less people who have adopted your very narrow perspective and are registered to vote in the coming election.
