I guess since republicans do not believe in homosexual marriages and abortion most christians I know are republicans. But what about the seperation between church and state? I guess morals have a lot to do with who you will vote for, but shouldn't it be the right person for the job? A lot of christian republicans that I know don't believe in abortion and that is a big issue of why they voted for bush, but I haven't seen bush do anything about abortion. I don't know is it wrong to be a democrat christian? Isn't kerry a christian?

QUOTE Choose to follow its lead? Meaning? If you mean to follow what the Bible teaches about morality, then this is quite misleading. Deism existed BEFORE the coming of Christ and morality (and immorality) existed BEFORE the coming of all religions. To believe in God doesn't make one Christian and to believe in God AND follow one's sense of morals definately doesn't make one Christian. Like many of our Founding Fathers, their references to God doesn't make them Christian. And the Bible doesn't lead what already existed in human nature. The Bible existed before Christ was born. I wasnt talking about our founding fathers. I was talking about christian presidents. Human nature is rebellion. The fruit from the tree of knowledge gave us that nature. The bible leads us to what good can make up our nature. |
