Regarding christians and the way they vote.....?

As a christian I vote against eveyone that is pro-choice.\nThe unborn need a voice. Only God can hear their muffled screams. The unborn are also live humans that need protection. The woman can choose to do whatever she wants with her own body, as long as it don't harm anyone else. \n\n"Woe to the one that harms the least of the one of these, my children."

Good questions!\n\nHowever, the same argument could be posed by the SAME people who have the different religious ideogy that you oppose. For example a muslim living in America and paying taxes could be thinking "why do my tax dollars have to support christian-related issues".\n\nI guess the answer lies in the politcal system, join it and try to get enough support to change what you don't like about it - of course no change is possible without a majority of people willing to vote for your point of view.\n\nthanks

I am a very spiritual person, but I am weary about the so called "good Christians".  They are usually the most closed minded people, and they are usually self serving.  If it's in their best interest, they invoke that Jesus would want things to be done their way. And if they don't like something, they say it is against Jesus.  Really, how do they know what Jesus would want.  That is why he gives us the Holy Spirit, so that we can be connected with Him, and make our own decisions.

I'm a Muslim and everything you have stated is true. Christians are supposed to worship like this too but somehow they interpret the bible how they want picking and choosing what they feel is necessary in there worship and what is not.\n\nYou did leave out one other thing we share, male circumcision.\nWhich Christians are supposed to do also but don't......

PAT ROBERTSON UNIVERSITY! - Nah - I couldn't wish that one on my worst enemy.    The fact of the matter is, Christians should NOT get too deeply involved in the political process except Voting, and of that only because it is a right they may exercise in a free society.., actualy it's *supposed* to be free society.., what with the ACLU's bias leaning toward Islam over Christianity.

No, not at all---in fact Christians today must remain neutral and not get involved with politics in any way, shape or form. We must not put our trust in human rulers.(Psalms 146:3) \nIf we vote for any imperfect human, then we are showing disloyalty to our King, who now reigns in heaven. Our allegiance is to our righteous King, and his Father's heavenly government only. The Bible says that man was not meant to rule over man. ( Ecclesiastes 8:9 )\nWe must obey the laws of governments as long as they do not conflict with God's laws. We maintain the same position as Jesus' apostles: "But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We must obey God rather than men." (Acts 5:29)\nHuman governments will soon be put out of existance and will be replaced by God's government which will rule over the entire earth. When you say the Lord's prayer and ask for God's Kingdom to come, that is what you are praying for. \nThe new government will last forever as seen at Daniel 2:44--"\n"And in the days of these kings(current human rulers) the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever." \nChristians should not put their trust or confidence in political governments or rulers that God will soon overthrow. We need to look to God's Kingdom as the only hope for all mankind.

It does not bother me in the slightest.  How can such tyranny have come from a true Christian?  That's not Love, that's not how Jesus would ever want people to act in His precious name.\n\nRather, those who participated in such heinous deeds were users of the faith for their own political agenda's and had no real love for Christ.  They have nothing to do with me.

The elect are those chosen by God for salvation and eternal life. There is considerable debate around whether the elect are already chosen (i.e. who is to be saved is already determined) and whether Jesus died for all or simply the elect. Equally, there is the argument that such decisions will be made on the day of judgement. Thats a whole other issue :-)

i am american, Im NOT Christian.\n There are about 2 churches in 1 neighhood ratio, that is how people are brought up, to believe the same thing and be orderally. I mean what would happen if people actually thought for themselves? It all ends up being affliated with the goverment, they want masses of people thinking the same things so they dont have to deal with other crap, people wouldn't all vote for some pertically person because he said something about there god...I mean what happened to seperation between state and church?!

I am a Christian Conservative and I vote Republican because they TELL THE TRUTH NO MATTER WHAT. Liberal Democrats LOVE TO LIE BECAUSE THEY CANNOT TELL THE TRUTH and that is why I do not vote Democrat unless the candidate comes from the city that I live in.

I find most people tend to vote based on what their family or peers do. Why do the Liberals act so conservative? Why do the Conservatives act so liberal? Simple. Votes. They appeal to a wider range of the population this way. Plus this just tells you what you want to hear. Which proves what most of us think...they are all the same.

Nah not really. Preachers you have to remember are not held to any particular standard. What I mean to say is when they preach it is there perception and interpretation and does not make it so. Form your own opinion and they can keep theirs to themselves. When you go into the voting booth they will not know who you voted for anyway unless you tell them and quite frankly that is none of there damn business. As far as a separation of church and state, well that may be one preacher you want to separate from if he/she is attempting to influence your voting decision. Keep in mind one thing though. If you go to church regularly and heed and believe and listen to and follow your preachers teachings then you will most likely vote as they would have anyway. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Remember that!!

You're quite right - and you have to consider how many of these people ahd political agendas of their own to fulfill. If there is any more doubt - how about the fact that the Bible has been editted to include and exclude certain items?

They sound like a Christian to me.  I've never met one who follows the teachings of Christ. Intead they follow the politics of their "religion" usually to the compleat exclusion of the teachings of Christ.

I vote on the issues. If the person who's most qualified happens to be Christian, then so be it. If they happen to be atheist, that's great as well.
