.Dear Mr. Messick, .Before I say what I'm going to say, I thought I should let you know that I am a Christian. .Now I must say this... there is a separation of Church and State for good reason. There are hundreds of different religions in America. If Christianity was the minority, how would you react when other religions voted for their own "agendas"? I can see how you feel about abortion. Sure, vote against abortion... it's not a religious point. Nowhere in the bible does it say anything about stopping the growth of a fetus into a baby. So sure, speak out against abortion. It would be your own personal view and not just what the bible tells you. .As far as gay rights (which, by the way, you call "the homosexual and abortionist agenda"--so very obviously entirely different things, making you look incredibly ignorant and foolish) denying other people the right to live normally because your religion says what they do is wrong is not only hypocrital and anti-Christian, it's also in violation of the very clear Separation of Church and State. Religion has no business in politics. There are too many religions in America for one to rule all. This is not a theocracy. It shouldn't be. Everyone should be able to believe what they believe--the right to argue and disagree and be as different as they want to be. You see, a lot of the rights homosexuals want are things like laws keeping employers from firing them because they're gay, landlords from refusing them because they're gay--just the right to live. You may not believe it, but in your state it is totally legal to fire someone for being gay. Also, homosexuals would like the right to serve openly in the military, something that is proven to have absolutely no effect on morale or cohesion. In the military, it's not only legal to fire someone for being gay, it's encouraged. .As Mr. White said before me, we are all sinners; thus, no one is better than anyone else. Who are you to judge someone else for how they live? You yourself are living in sin, according the bible from which you preach. Condemning someone for committing something seen by our religion as sin is anti-Christian and a sin in itself. It is a sin to judge another human. .See, so much is wrong with voting on religious reasoning. Look inside yourself to vote, rather than in the bible. If you stop putting words in God's mouth and just listen to what he has to say, maybe you'll get it right. .Sincerely, A Concerned Fellow Christian   .(I couldn't help myself.
