In a statement to Congressman Paul, Rev. Linzey stated: "Having thoroughly examined your political philosophy and finding that your platform is 100% in line with the Constitution of the United States of America, and examining your political record to find that you have consistently upheld the Constitution and thereby faithfully represented your constituency, and studying your statement of faith to find that your faith and religious experience is 100% compatible with Evangelical Christianity and Orthodox Christianity, I hereby endorse you for the Office of the President of the United States of America. I wish you Godspeed!"

Dr. Linzey later stated, "Among the six remaining GOP hopefuls, two are evangelical — Ron Paul and Rick Perry. But the tell-tale sign of being qualified for the presidency is not faith, but loyalty to the Constitution which defends the open expression of faith. Ron Paul seems to be the candidate most loyal to the Constitution according to the records. So when other evangelical leaders endorse GOP contenders of other faiths and traditions, some of whom have received funds from special interest groups, and are not as loyal to the Constitution as is Dr. Paul, one must necessarily ask, 'What is their agenda?' because they certainly are not endorsing the most qualified nor the most evangelical. If evangelicals wish to make faith an issue, then they should take a closer look at Dr. Paul's statement on his web site, 'Let me be very clear here: I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, and I endeavor every day to follow Him in all I do and in every position I advocate.'"

BUT, and this is a big BUT (no pun intended), an individual who chooses to partake of those things must do it in way that does not harm others, for example, by not driving while intoxicated or high. If they DO harm someone else, then they must be held fully accountable and legally responsible for their actions and suffer the consequences thereof.

We cannot protect every person from every foolish action that they might take, and that's what drug laws and other nanny state legislation keep attempting to do. At some point, a person must take full responsibility for their own actions and be allowed to fail if necessary without the 'help' of legislation that intrudes upon personal, non-criminal actions.

If the "choice" you are thinking of is abortion, then God is certainly NOT going to support your choice to kill an innocent baby in it's mother's womb. God has very definite laws of His own, so don't think that free choice means God approves whatever we decide. Even man's laws say that murder is wrong. Sounds like you think we should eliminate all laws and let man do whatever he wants. Good luck with that one, dude. Just don't expect me to help you when someone "decides" to rob you of everything you have at gunpoint.
