Quote from: Cryptic Bert on September 28, 2010, 08:10:21 PMAh so her views on sex before marriage will influence her vote on budgetary matters, foreign policy, or the economy, or taxes....

Not necessarily. But they'll certainly color her legislative views with regard to social policy, won't they, genius? And with that in mind they'll also color her views with regard to budgetary matters, such as whether Planned Parenthood centers continue to receive funding, just for example.

They shouldn't receive funding, though.

With only a yes or no vote her religious views will hardly be influential....

You are also basing your argument on assumption...

Quote from: Solar on September 28, 2010, 08:11:44 PMAre you saying Religion has a place in politics? ;D

To some extent it can't be avoided, Solar. Religious beliefs are part and parcel of the psychological identities of religious people: the truly religious live their lives according to the precepts of their beliefs; it's ingrained in them as much as covering their mouth when they sneeze or scratching when they itch. But a religious person who understands ethics, and right from wrong, and the establishment clause of the 1st Amendment, also understands that imposing their religious beliefs on others especially through a process as impersonal and comprehensive as legislation, is simply not done without being unethical, and doing wrong, and violating both the meaning and the intent of the establishment clause. So a religious person (in or out of government) must ask himself a question on every vote: "Sure this might be good for me, but is it good for a country full of people who disagree about whether it's good for them?"

Everyone except psychpaths has morals, idjit. But not everyone's morals are dictated by religious beliefs.

QuoteBut then again, what would you know about that?

Yeah, what would a plagiarist know about morals?

Wrong!!!
Everyone votes their conscious, morals, core beliefs.
Ooops, there I go again, posting on something you know nothing about.

Oh no, you're stuck here mental midget, I have no intentions of banning you, I want you to stay and have your monthly meltdown, so all can see what a weakling you are.

Quote from: taxed on September 28, 2010, 08:23:57 PMExample?

Sure. Abortion. Arguments against abortion that aren't religious at root are nearly nowhere to be found. O'Donnell, I think we can safely say, doesn't think that Roe v. Wade was a good decision, based on her religious beliefs (devout Roman Catholic, and all).. But she has to ask herself before voting to overturn Roe v. Wade: "Is it right for me to try to impose my personal religious beliefs on everyone in America?" If she's ethical, her answer must be no.
