A Free Thinker's Web Log

All we have is this freedom, which does carry with it some responsibility. As long as we don't impinge on someone else's freedom, we can express ourselves freely. This blog will serve as my blogger journal. I try to stay open to ideas. I don't think there's anything wrong with changing one's mind, but there have to be some fundamental beliefs that remain true.

Segregation of Church and State

Only God can decide who lives and who dies. Everything is according to his will. If Terri lives then it’s by the grace of God and not by the will of man. But we can see the liberals in favor of letting her die, because there are so many others who need the urgent care and they’ve decided that they know best. It’s democracy at play: let the people decide. Keeping the girl alive depends on tax payer dollars. She’s been in this state for fifteen years. The tax payers have more important priorities. It’s not fair to society to let her live anymore. However, from a Christian perspective, it’s not up to us to decide who lives and who dies. The President and the US Congress have signed a bill to let Terri live, but the judges in Florida don’t agree and the Supreme Court doesn’t want to ruffle their feathers. So now we have this impasse, this reluctance to do the right thing.

In the end, it's what we do, not what we say.

Hope you enjoyed reading my web log. It wasn't meant to be earth-shattering, just some random ideas in my journey of life -- vic@v-a.com.
