To some extent I agree, but then we are on the same slippery slope as moral relativity.
Although everything is relative, some things are relative-er. And there *are* differences between the parties. Like the abortion stuff: http://www.gjfreepress.com/article/20100528/OPINION/100529922/1062&parentprofile=1062 Although both Republicans and Democrats promise the moon and then don't deliver, they promise different moons. Even if I believe in a farce, it's a farce in the right direction; towards freedom and personal responsibility. God is all about giving us the option to do evil, right? Else what's the point? :DeN "god hardened heart" Uno -- Faith means intense, usually confident, belief that is not based on evidence sufficient to command assent from every reasonable person.
