should a christian be a republican? Options

[Retrogressive]

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?

[Spirited Away]

bitterness and spite... these are being confused with frustration. Not with you guys necassarily. None of you know about my life, nor do i expect you to.  I get back from a tough day of unfairness and loss and defend my case against people not all of you, but some people who just assume im an ignorant a-hole because of the beliefs i have and their misconceptions of those beliefs. I am open to new ideas. Just because you have failed to present one that makes more sense than mine doesnt make me close-minded. If you have read any of my arguements with comrade red you would have seen on occasion he corrected me and I changed my position. He enlightened me, if you will. There was an actual intellectual back and forth for awhile.

You mean people assume you're ignorant, just like the way you assume non-Christians are ignorant because we do not agree with you about life/death/God? What goes around, comes around.

Just because you've a firm stand about what you believe in and refuse to believe anything I say doesn't mean that my case doesn't make sense. In fact, many people agree with my case over yours even though I have don't have a firm knowledge of the world. That is, I believe in possibilities, thus I can be convinced, and this is a weakness when I make my arguements because you KNOW that you can convince me if you make sense. Your case will make sense once you practice what you preach. It confuses us when you speak with anger, yet claim that you follow the Bible and that you're only a messenger. As I've said, messengers do not argue. Maybe you're a special messenger? I don't know.

ComeradeRed enlightened me and continues to do so on a timely basis. I don't even need to argue with him to know what make sense and what doesn't.

Your need to prove your belief is the one true one is what drives the rest of us to defend ourselves against your claims. If anyone is attacking, it is the one who claims his belief is the only one that's right.
