May You See that it is True

President Obama today at the National Prayer Breakfast:

But no matter what we choose to believe, let us remember that there is no religion whose central tenet is hate. There is no God who condones taking the life of an innocent human being. This much we know.

We know too that whatever our differences, there is one law that binds all great religions together. Jesus told us to "love thy neighbor as thyself." The Torah commands, "That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow." In Islam, there is a hadith that reads "None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself." And the same is true for Buddhists and Hindus; for followers of Confucius and for humanists. It is, of course, the Golden Rule – the call to love one another; to understand one another; to treat with dignity and respect those with whom we share a brief moment on this Earth.

Mr. President, unless you rescind reversals like "Mexico City," and refuse to allow federal dollars for embryonic stem-cell research, and shut down things like the "Freedom of Choice Act," you will make life for much of the unborn not brief, but non-existent. May God change your heart and allow you to finally to see that your promulgated truism, that the taking of any life is wrong, is actually true.
