Texas Senator and craziest person this side of anywhere - Ted Cruz - may be cuckoo for cocoa puffs for a very good reason - his father, Rafael.
When talking to a group of Oklahoma gun rights advocates earlier this month, Rafael Cruz said the following:
"And of course, this leads us -- when there are no moral absolutes -- leads us to sexual immorality, leads us to sexual abuse, leads us to perversion. And, of course, no hope. No hope."
Ironically enough, according to USA Today, "Nearly 17,000 people have suffered sexual abuse at the hands of the clergy since 1950."
Those dam* atheist clergymen!
I tend to find absolutes absolutely ridiculous.
"Thou shalt not kill."
That sounds simple and moral enough. However, what about in times of war? Defending oneself against an intruder? If Mr. Cruz is anti-war and anti-gun, perhaps he does believe in moral absolutes after all, but I'm thinking that's highly unlikely.
If Cruz does believe in war and/or guns and therefore doesn't believe in moral absolutes, has this led him to sexual immorality, sexual abuse, and perversion? Again, that's not likely
Just because one shouts to the heavens that he or she is a believer in God and is a good person doesn't make it so. One's beliefs or stated beliefs are irrelevant without the coinciding actions. I don't care if one claims to be a devout Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, or Atheist, I won't judge that person's character until I both witness and experience for myself what kind of person they really are.
