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?

The country's first colonists supported the bible. It was already here so how is it being forced upon an unwilling country?

Mr Acid is just as prejudice towards Christians as your are towards non-Christians.

I just wanted to make that clear so it doesn't look like anyone is trying to be better than his opponent... 


am i really? hmmm...... i think your tongue is twisting as a serpent. Changing my words to suit your own denial and self indulgence.

about the gay issue:
What if you were one of them? think about it. The world hates you because you are different than what they want you to be. The world got their idea from some book. Are you not allowed to express who you are because of a religion that you may or may not believe in? Nowadays, there are even gay ministers. Can you doubt their faith because of their sexual alignment?

Also, how do you know the bible is the truth? Ive been to church, and when i ask the question, they try to avoid it or give dumb answers such as "Because it is." For all we know, some dudes might have just made it up. More likely it was misinterpretation. So if christians cant even explain the book their religion is based upon, how can they be so pompous to try and force their ideals on the country?


No one who really follows the Bible hates any fagg or lesbian. The Bible teaches to love the sinner hate the sin. Anyone does not abide by that is not really following the bible.

Like Muslims who do not kill the infidel are not following the scripture they claim to.

All hypocrates.

Gay ministers should not be allowed to be ministers why? not just because they are gay, but because it is a practiced sin. Like a practicing thief should not run a cash register. A practicing lack of morals should not teach others about morals.

homosexuality is a choice not a disease or birth defect. a fetish for killing someone is still wrong even if the other person said it was ok. Still a choice not a demand by one's innerbeing, but a whisper from beyond the shadows in an early grave of loose dirt.
