Absolutely! Your basic values concerning life issues and morals have a proper place in your home, job, and in the way you vote. Human beings are the only part of god's creation that has the capacity to know and choose to do good or evil. I don't blame the Iraq war on Satan. The real culprit is man himself. Man in his evil desires of greed, avarice, lust, gluttony.


are all driven by the want of more money and power. Politicians lie all the time with great oratory they call debates. My eleventh grade debate teacher would pinch their ears off for trying to pass off a cock fight for a real debate. Regardless of what you call your faith most humans know when something is wrong. Life is the most precious thing we have apart from our soul. We are all poor sinners. We have sinned in many ways during our life.As we grow older it is past time for us to show that we care about the next generation by allowing our religious and moral values to be put to work for the good of the those less fortunate in our country and our world. The right of knowing good and evil is an immutable part of our genetic and spiritual make up. You can not separate faith, values, morals and ethic from the way you perform your job-be it janitor or President of the USA.
