Beliefs posing as facts

Posted June 14, 2019 1:00 am

Religious zealots are entitled to their beliefs, but in no way, shape, or form must the rest of us adhere to them.

I read with great amusement the "opinions" of Ms. Keegan, which she posits as the absolute, irrefutable truth. The argument that "life" begins at conception is solely a religious one, and one that is subject to personal beliefs and faiths. Who are you, and the other adherents to faith-based beliefs to tell others that they must adhere to those faith-based beliefs as well?

This is the tyrannical thinking that caused the establishment of this great country in which one has the freedom OF religion and FROM religion. I left Catholicism years ago as I did not believe in the teachings and actions of it. Please quit trying to impose your personal beliefs on others.
