13. Yes it is all about healthcare.

Remember the woman from India, Savita who died in a hospital in Ireland last year? She was miscarrying yet the hospital denied her an abortion "as long as there was a fetal heart beat". I had to look up the article to find her name. Yet the details are etched in my heart.

I was raised in the Episcopal church and was active there until my teens. Then I started questioning some of their teaching. Yes it was far more liberal than the Catholic church, yet still restrictive. I now pray in my head in my own way and it comes from my heart.

It is the fanatics, their blind faith, and it is blind, that is so unnerving. As you said it is not faith at all. It is what they hold onto, to pretend to themselves and the world that they are righteous. They cloak themselves in a mantle of hate and they hide there, yet they are transparent.

They are indeed blind, they seek Heaven and all they will ever see will be everlasting Hell.

Whether they like it or not, Obamacare is the law, it is working and it is damn well here to stay.
