Removing the religious mask of the Republican party

1- Yes, Abortion and homosexuality are sins in all Abrahamic religions. I disagree with my liberal Christian friends when interpret the biblical verses about homosexuality. But sin does not mean illegal. Sin is something God will punish me if I do, but illegal is something the government will punish me if I do. Sin is something I believe it is wrong and I should not do it, whatever it is legal or not. Your religion asks you to avoid the sin, not to forbid it. What makes a difference between a believer and sinner if the sin is illegal and unavailable? Do you think God should punish the people who desire the sin but cannot commit, just because it is illegal or unavailable? Should government punish the sinners or God? God allowed the sins in our life to challenge us: how can we live by it but not commit it. Abortion and homosexuality were legal in Jesus' time, and he never said they should be illegal. Rather, he distinguished between the state and the church when he said: “give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” (Matthew 22:21) That is why you can be believer person and secular professional.

2- God is fair. He will not punish you for others’ sin. He protected the prophet Lot and his daughters. He did not destroy all Sodom’s people, just because some of them were sinning. The angels said after they destroyed Sodom: “So we brought out whoever was in the cities of the believers. And we did not find within them other than a single house of those surrendered to God.” (Quran 51:35-36)

3- Abortion and homosexuality are not topics in this election. Even the candidates did not discuss them in their debates. The republicans use them just to attract the conservative voters, but they would not change legislation of abortion or homosexuality, if they will win. Abortion is legal in the USA since 1973 during the republican administration of Richard Nixon. and the republican conservative presidents Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush stayed 20 years in the white house without changing the abortion law.

4- Legalization of abortion or homosexuality is not the president’s job. It is the Supreme Court justices’ job, and I believe that the justices do not decide based on their political views rather than on the constitution.
