I also try to consider the stand on abortion as one of the major

Which way?? You seem to come down on both sides of the issue!!
In which case Mitt Romney must be your candidate!! LOL
I often see both sides of an issue. I see no viable candidate in the
upcoming presidential election. They are all unacceptable.
That's nice but you say that a candidate's stand on abortion is a
major deciding factor in your mind, yet I still have no idea which
view impresses you positively.
If it were up to me, abortion would be illegal unless medical authority
indicated it dangerously threatened the life of the mother, and after
that, it would be the joint decision of the mother and father. In cases
of rape, it would be the mother's decision, alone.
Is that clear enough?
The current crop of 'presidential hopefuls' is about the most pathetic I
have seen in my 65 years, on both sides of the 'aisle'. PATHETIC!
Abortion is either legal - or it is not - as far as I am concerned. If
it is legal in one instance (Rape- or endangering a mother's life) -
then there is no reasonable reason why it should not be legal in all cases.
If religion wants to enjoin its followers to something else - that is
their perogative for their adherents - and those who believe in it have
the right to follow their religious guidelines if they believe.
I take note that abortion is legal in the Jewish religion up to a
certain point - for instance.
However - those who are religious and give all those reasons for not
allowing abortion would clamor just as quickly if a different religion
that they did not believe was FORCED upon them.
That would be very wrong, of course, because they have the One True
Religion (tm)!! And only the One True Religion (tm) has the right to
force itself on others!
There is nothing
stopping those people from doing what their religion espouses. They have
no right to force their religious beliefs on others.
They do if they have the One True Religion (tm)!!
The parallel between Islamic fascism and the religious right in the US
would be funny if it weren't so sad and so serious.
Once abortion is legal in any circumstance, there is no longer an
ability to "take the moral position" that is should not be allowed in
others. An unwanted child is as just as any other reason.
And in America at least, the people and politicians who are most
determined to force women to have unwanted children against their will
are the least supportive of those children once they are born.

I actually have a method for determining the "ONE TRUE RELIGION" - or at
least eliminate the ones that are not true.

Simply go to a place where a major natural disaster occurred - flood,
earthquake, tidal wave - etc. Amid all the destruction - the temple and
property of the "ONE TRUE RELIGION" will not even have a blade of grass
out of place - it will be as if the disaster just skipped over the area.
Certainly the one true GOD will not damage his Temples and land in any way.

Of course - those religions that do have damage to their buildings are
false religions.

Now we have eliminated ALL of the religions that have existed or exist
now on the planet. So - all religion is wrong.

What if the one true God chooses to disobey you? Why should he play
along?

Ha!!!!!!

It has nothing to do with me. It would not be disobeying me - it would be punishing those who believe in it. Well - I guess no one has ever claimed that a GOD has to be smart though.
