I had planned on not posting today. It's Sunday. I felt, as a Christian, I should abstain from work. But then I remembered two things - 1. I work at my normal job on Sundays so it really isn't the "Sabbath" to me in that sense and 2. This isn't work, its fun!
Anyway, I've been wanting to speak about the President's veto last week but didn't get the chance because I spent all week formatting this blog to look the way I want. By the way, how do you like it? I hadn't planned on actually talking about it as it is now an old issue but the debate continues.
What do you think? Was the President's veto a good idea or bad? Most conservative Christians would agree that it was a very righteous thing to do. I myself agree. I do not believe in abortion (or the production of fetus' for medical research) as a choice on a normal basis. It seems to me that considering there are other ways to get at stem cells other than by fetal tissue that the world would be eager to use those methods. Unfortunately, they refuse to see that even with all the documentation and the President's personal endorcement to these procedures. I'm all for stem cell research but why do we need to kill innocent human lives just to do it? It seems that Governor Schwarzenegger doesn't see it that way as he has proposed to put up millions of California funds to support a facility that would be researching embryonic stem cell production. My thoughts go deeper than this but what are your thoughts on the matter? Any questions you need answered? (I'll do my best)

Um, not to dispute the Terminator or anything, but California is really messed up. I take insurance claims from that state every day and they tend to think they are thier own little country. The world seems to revolve around California...it's rediculous. Arnold is very much a "californian". Sometimes I feel like people in that state don't take the time to research an issue before they take a side.
I didn't want to get all judgmental, because I know that California is full of lots of good people. Sometimes I wish I could live there so I could help motivate those good people to take back thier state instead of letting it slip down into this bottomless pit it seems to enjoy so much.
This is like if someone OFFERED you the cure to Diabetes, AIDS, and cancer. You'd say NO. Let the people suffer with it and die because MY RELIGION thinks it's wrong.
And that good-sir would be Selfish. Which i do believe they teach you in the bible to DO UNTO OTHERS AS OTHERS WOULD DO UNTO YOU.
If you were dying with a disease the research could provide a cure for and someone denied you it, would you not feel betrayed or worthless?
Think of the WELL being this research would do, and get your head out of your ass.
