Dear Facebook friend, No, I will not share... I accept that we all have differing opinions - that is part of what makes this such an exciting tool. I grow and learn by listening to the opinions of others. My core ethic is one of life. I care for and support that which brings life. I do not believe that I can hold this ethic and support anything that brings death. This means that I find all forms of murder and violence to all people abhorrent. I cannot stand with the victims of violence, including women facing domestic violence or victims of farm murders in South Africa and at the same time support your call to bring back the death penalty. I cannot stand with every Palestinian or Jewish parent who lost a child, and at the same time support Israel or Hamas who orders these deaths. I cannot speak out about oppression and injustice of I do not acknowledge that balance of power and resources have a profound effect on the responses to challenges in communities and in individuals. I cannot stand with Christians fleeing from ISIS in Syria, if I do not also support the freedom and rights of followers of Islam. I cannot continue speaking up for those whose voices are not heard, if I do not believe that every individual I speak out for and every individual I speak out against is created in the image of God. So...if I do not repost or share your request to bring back the death penalty, to support Israel, etc etc, I cannot...
