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?

And here I thought you were perfect.

Prejudice is a matter of opinion in our conversation. While you do not think that you're exerting prejudice, the people who read what you write certainly think so. While it's hard to accept that your words do hurt/annoy others, the reality of it is hardly debatable.

We non religious affliates are minorities, do you disagree? If anyone is not being heard, it is us. What we say have no affect and will not be agreed with simply because we are out numbered. In addition, we Agnostics and Atheists tend to follow concepts and this makes us more divided than organized religions. This matters not because we retain that which is true to our own life, or at least that is how I see it.

You understand of course, what you experience in this very forum is what non-Christians suffer everyday. Confused? You shouldn't be. Inside this forum, though we are minorities, we have the chance to have our say but outside this forum, we are voiceless minorities. It's not because we are afraid to speak against the mass, far from it, it is because we will not be listened to.

You heard me. We are not listened to. Surprised now, are we? Don't be. The most intelligent of men were persecuted by the "good" faith of others simply because they were not listened to no matter how strong their voice rang out. In fact, the louder they were, the more they were punished for it. That is what history has taught us about religion: "might is right".

If you consider speaking plainly to be the works of the Devil, I cannot stop you from amusing yourself with that thought. My words may have come from "self-indulgence", you called it, but they were well thought out. I usually do not say things without weighing its consequences.
