Free Will

Lately I have been having a lively exchange with another blogger. He is what I might refer to as a staunch Republican ( I am sure he will take offense to my characterization).Let me state clearly here, I totally respect him, we all have the right to express ourselves in the USA. That being said...

He cannot understand why the Republican party has been so overwhelmingly over thrown.

How hard is it to understand that you are not being "demonized" as one of his posts suggests, but that democracy has spoken? Democracy has said, "We want equality!"

Equality is not what the Republican party, as it stands, is for. It remains in control of what I might refer to as "the good ole' boys network". Or even worse, the Christian Right. Again, believe in whatever god you want, whatever prophetic wrtitings that you want to believe in. I am not anti-Christian, quite the opposite.

I do however, believe that free will was given to all. It is not up to one sector to decide if being gay is environmental or natural. ( My personal belief, it's not a choice). It is not up to one sector to decide when an embryo is to be protected by human law( Take from that statement that I am pro choice).

Lastly, I am not what I personally would refer to as a traditional "feminist". Or am I? Is wanting the same pay and rights as another human being making me a traditional feminist? Maybe I am, but I still want my dates to    open doors for me...

At any rate, fundamentally, I differ from my fellow blogger in the following way:

I believe that personal choice should be left to the individual, not law.

Hell, even God says that free will should be the human way!
