"Inconvenient" "Persons" [Rand Paul's Petition for the Unborn]

I agree with Rand Paul on this point, we do live in an age which finds a lot of people inconvenient.

Dr Ben Carson has special personal insights, having operated on the unborn.
He testifies, first-person, to their undeniable humanity!

2016:

Again I will admit that I have not read all the pages here so I may be saying something someone else has already said. If so forgive me.

Here is the issue as I see it. I do not remember ever hearing Carson say that Trump was a good Christian. Perhaps he has and if so I would disagree with him.

However I believe the reason that Trump and many other Christian's felt comfortable supporting Trump (I was not nor am one of them) was for a very different reason than that they felt Trump was a virtuous Christian man. Rightly or wrongly they sensed that they may have found a man would will actually listen to some of their concerns and not write them off as bigoted lunatics as much of the left wing media and most mainline politicians have started to do. I really believe that it was that fact more than any other that put Trump over the top.

Before you quickly dismiss what I am saying think about this for a minute. The belief system that many Christians hold too particularly evangelicals were pretty mainstream only 15 to 20 years ago. But all that has changed. Now, to believe that abortion is wrong or that marriage is between a man and a women, invites the public to address you, ironically, in the most bigoted and hateful way imaginable. And that change happened very very fast.

The day after your election I heard a former local liberal provincial cabinet minister say something that I found to be really honest. He stated that he believed that the results of the election should be a wakeup call for all liberals and that the fact was, that things have changed very quickly over the last 20 years and many in society have felt misunderstood and left behind. Trump to a large extent latched on to that demographic.

I think he is exactly right.

And so while I do not agree with Carson's brand of Christianity I do not see it as my place to damn him to hell either. I will leave his relationship with God between him and God. I believe I can still admire many of the things that he stands for even though I may not agree with his stance on politics. I happen to be a bit different than some of you in that I do not expect everyone in Heaven to look and think exactly like me. While some of you may disagree I do not think that that makes my faith or belief system less strong. I just choose not to feel threatened by those that think differently than I on some issues.
