Letter to the editor: Biden, Harris on abortion, marriage

God tells us, “Judgment is mine says the Lord!” He is talking about the judgment at death when the soul is either saved or damned. We must make judgments every day when we associate with new people that we don’t yet have an opinion of.

In November, we will cast our votes for people who are mostly strangers to us, so we must be careful on how we “judge” them. I am going to base my vote on the “faith,” or lack of it, of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Both claim to belong to established and respected denominations — Biden a Catholic, Harris a Baptist.

Both of these faiths are “pro life” and are against abortion. Biden and Harris are steadfast in their stance on abortion on demand even when the child is viable and ready to be born. Biden has been denied holy communion because of his abortion stance. I believe both will be the greatest supporters of no restrictions on abortion. That could increase the number of abortions to over 1 million every year.

Both faiths proclaim that holy matrimony is a church rite between a man and a woman, but Biden and Harris are supporters of gay and lesbian marriages. Man and man and woman and woman cannot be fruitful and multiply.

If you cannot be true to the faith you say you believe in, how can you be faithful to the oath you take to serve us? In God we trust; one nation under God. God bless America.
