Kerry Says He Believes Life Starts at Conception
If you believe life begins at conception and you vote to fund the terminating of life, what does that make you Senator?
It's not a religous belief of some unseen deity, it is a truth based on scientific fact. You are either a liar or worst.
From Kerry Says He Believes Life Starts at Conception (washingtonpost.com):
"But even as he tried to avoid making news Sunday, Kerry broke new ground in an interview that ran in the Dubuque, Iowa, Telegraph Herald. A Catholic who supports abortion rights and has taken heat from some in the church hierarchy for his stance, Kerry told the paper, 'I oppose abortion, personally. I don't like abortion. I believe life does begin at conception.'
Spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said that although Kerry has often said abortion should be 'safe, legal and rare,' and that his religion shapes that view, she could not recall him ever publicly discussing when life begins.
'I can't take my Catholic belief, my article of faith, and legislate it on a Protestant or a Jew or an atheist,' he continued in the interview. 'We have separation of church and state in the United States of America.' The comments came on the final day of a three-state Midwest swing, during which Kerry has repeatedly sought to dispel stereotypes that could play negatively among voters there. "

Priest Has Vision of Hell
Bishops and priests among the populace there...
The priest serves in the Diocese of Saint Augustine, and I know him but never knew of this event in his life...
From Spirit Daily:
That, asserts Father Maniyangat, was when hell, an awful sight, opened before him. It was daunting. "I saw Satan and people fighting, tortured, and screaming," claims the cleric. "And the fire too. I saw fire. I saw people suffering and the angel told me it was due to mortal sin and the fact that they were not repentant. That was the thing. Unrepentant."
The priest says he was told there are seven "degrees" or levels of suffering in the netherworld. Those who committed "mortal sin after mortal sin" in life were suffering the most intense heat. "They had bodies and looked very ugly, so cruel and ugly, horrifying," says Father Maniyangat. "They were human but like monsters: fearful, ugly-looking things. I saw people I knew but I can't say who they were. The angel told me I could not reveal this."
The sins that got them into that state, he says, were transgressions such as abortion, homosexuality, hatefulness, and sacrilege. If they had repented, they would have gone to purgatory -- the angel allegedly told him. He was surprised at who he saw in hell. Some were priests. Some were bishops. "There were many, because they had misled the people," he asserts -- again, for your discernment. "They were people I never expected."
