53. My point is, a personal belief isn't right or wrong because
Edited on Thu May-15-08 01:21 PM by sfexpat2000
you can't prove or disprove a belief. You either hold it or you don't. Moral or immoral, right or wrong -- that's a different arena altogether. In other words, although I don't agree with Obama's belief, that doesn't make him wrong. He never claimed to be right in the first place.

In any case, I like the way he refocuses the discussion on what people need and want and what is just. He takes it out of the realm of personal belief altogether, which seems right in what is left of our secular democracy. :)
