Of course it is. But it's Breitbart so the editing is likely heavy handed. I didn't hear the whole speech. LOL Breitbart.

The other idiots, though, tended, to use religion like a club; e.g., homosexuality is a sin, thus gays and lesbians are not allowed to marry. I don't think many people would complain if it was stated that religion says we should help our fellow man.

Same speech. Kerry still claims that he has a responsibility under God, since before God created Man, he created the Earth, clearly stated in the Book of Genesis in Scripture, and that his God given responsibility is especially pressing in Muslim majority countries.

No different. If one group can reference Scripture for their actions, or responsibility, or beliefs, so can an other. You can't hand pick that you like what Genesis says, but others can't quote Scripture for other things in their agenda. Kerry is USING scripture to support his claim that he "has a God given responsibility mandated in Genesis" to go after Climate change in Muslim counties, yet some other nut can't use wherever it says "man can't lie with man" in the Bible to push their agenda. An agenda using scripture in both cases. How come you defend one and criticize the other?

fiogf49gjkf0d
But you see, it's the same thing. Pat Robinson is a nut, but so is Kerry. You can't hand pick when you want to use something stated in Scripture for one idea, but condemn when Scripture is used for an other idea. And I roll my eyes at Pat Robinson and call him a religious nut too. (I can't stand religious nuts or those that use Scripture in this way). At least I am consistent.

Because one is using religion is restrict a group's (arguably) basic freedom, another one is using it promote environmentalism. To put it more simply, one person is using it constructively, the other is using it destructively. I'll have to agree with AlM and say that for Kerry to bring it up as a religious matter is not that good, particularly if he makes it sound like that's how govt policy is determined. Otherwise, I don't see anything wrong with believing in God, it's what he gets out of that belief that concerns me.

The operative question here is....

What variety of legislation is the Secretary of State proposing in order to reach this alleged biblical goal?

All these RWers seek to legislate their RW religious dogma AS LAW. That's very very different than saying religious belief is personally guiding their enforcement of what is sound secular, science based policy.

They are both using religion and the scripture.
