I saw this on a social media site yesterday...
For non-Americans, these women are both American but of different religious faiths. Both hold offices that give them legal/political power.
In a way, I agree with this picture, because I think ALL religion in politics is dangerous.
Your religious beliefs are your personal moral compass. You thus have no right to ever think you know better what God wants for another and you most certainly NEVER have the right to legally enforce your spiritual beliefs on an entire nation.
BOTH these women would be equally wrong if they use their religions to force others to be like them. Just as BOTH of them are right if they use their religions to live the lives God intended for them.
It's that simple.
Your soul has only ONE person whose opinion matters - the holy spirit of God that speaks to you alone through your heart. You are not there to save others from themselves. You are only there to support them and love them and hope they make the best choices based on their own connection to God.
