First and foremost, I am sorry you are going through a hard time and I hope your life improves.


Some points:


1) There are many, many, MANY Liberal Christians out there in this country.

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.

I'm sorry but by telling her to put her bible down you are suppressing her freedom of religion!

While I take issue (and expressed my concerns) with the way the poster expressed herself, it is impossible to suppress someones freedom of religion by telling them something on a message board.

I just want to say that I would hope that there would be a little more tolerance on this board. I am a Christian and was not at all offended by what you posted. I agree with the poster that said that there should be a separation of church and state. Yikes, you can get jumped on for pretty much anything on these boards. No wonder so many people just read them and never post.

therefore, our president is not your preist,or pastor, or whatever else, he is PRESIDENT. His religion and your religion does not have one thing to do w/how he leads our country.

put your bible down and pick up a history book.

To you religion may not have a part in politics, but most voters aren't atheists either. For you to make such a ludicrous statement would also discount Mr. Obama from holding a public office, since he himself professes to be a Christian. Do you see the illogic behind your flawed reasoning? Would you say the same things to someone who is a Muslim? Would you insinuate to them that they have no right to voice an opinion, or vote in an election because of their religion? That appears to be what you are saying here.

In the context of the rest of the post, which I read as you can have whatever religion you want in this country, I didn't find any of your post or the lightening rod quote to be offensive at all. I thought it more or less said "you need to look at the bigger picture".

I read about half of that, and couldn't keep going.

As I said, I will not debate this. I had been asked why I was NOT voting for Obama.

There are many, many Christian voters who vote Democrat, and have just as many Christian reasons for being liberal as the conservative Christians do for being conservative. I am one of them, who does vote my conscience. It is very hard for me to understand how one can be Christian and be conservative, just as it is probably very hard for you to see how one can be Christian and be liberal.

The fact of the matter is - if religion and spirituality is a huge part of your life, you can't separate it from anything you do. You can't leave it outside the voting booth. But as Christians, we also shouldn't push our views on others. Christ gave us freedom.

I do have to refute one thing from the OP. John McCain supports embryonic stem cell research, so that can't be used as a reason to vote for him by pro-life Christians.
