The population of most countries want to see assisted dying for people close to death, so they will not suffer in pain. Who is opposed to this? Religious leaders, they remember their predecessors raping, torturing men, women, and children and then burned at the stake for being witches. or accusing them of heresy and drowning them. Hanging people for blasphemy. Yes, they still want people to suffer before death... |

Just remember that this holiday season Christians will be going out of their way to promote charities that serve impoverished populations. While on the surface providing food or perhaps helping dig wells to provide fresh water to these populations are good things, the real goal of these "good Christians" is to indoctrinate vulnerable people into their bigoted way of thinking. That's why I only give to charities that have no religious affiliation. |
