Of course, it’s apparently not against the Bible to support abortion on demand and gay marriage, two policy positions Kerry supports
(Breitbart) Wednesday at a ceremony to appoint Texas lawyer Shaarik Zafar to be special representative to Muslim communities, Secretary of State John Kerry said it was the United States’ Biblical “responsibility” to “confront climate change,” including to protect “vulnerable Muslim majority counties.”
Kerry said Scripture, in particular the Book of Genesis, make clear it is our “duty” to protect the planet and we should look at Muslim countries “with a sense of stewardship of earth,” adding, “That responsibility comes from God.”
There’s the hazard with mixing religion and policy. There’s so much silly and ridiculous nonsense in religious texts that you can interpret it as you wish.
The Christian Bible has been used to support slavery, capital punishment, the subjugation of women, women covering their head to pray, stoning sexually active daughters to death and loving your fellow man. It’s been used against the family, the blind, the lame, homosexuals, divorce, dwarfs and infertile men.
The Quran is no better.
Kerry is a gov’t official and should not inject religion into his policy ideas.
