And if you are going to base your political views on the Bible, then you shouldn't be for war, for guns, for the death penalty. It does mention  violence in the Bible numerous amounts of time and how God doesn't support it. IMO, the republican party is filled with hypocrites.

This isn't a topic asking whether or not you believe in every word of the Bible or if you believe in it at all. I'm asking do you think the Republican party, which is normally seen as the most Christian, sticks to what it claims to stand for.

I like how this election is the family man with two little girls and the widower against the man who divorced his wife and married a hotter, younger, richer woman when his old wife was crippled in a car accident and the woman who got pregnant and married a dumb redneck, had a daughter who ALSO got pregnant and is going to marry another dumb redneck for it.

For instance, one of my moms reasons for not voting Obama, is his support of gay marriage (which she believes is like a mortal sin). However, isnt marriage traditionally a religious ceremony? Why is the government even have a part of regulating it? Even if they have to for some reason, then shouldnt it be more up to the people getting married, and the organization doing it?

As for abortion, some people would argue that its murder. In some sense, I kinda see where they are coming from. However, I think certain circumstances would justify an abortion (rape).

It seems to me that most republican voters focus more on their "moral" issues, and care less about the real issues, the ones that actually matter. Likewise, republican politicians feed into the moral issues (IE promising to abolish abortion, block gay marriage). That gains them the support they need to get into office, and fuck around with the real issues, things they have not followed, so they dont know what they are doing.

Thing just don't add up. If you're going to vote based on your morals, they should be consistent.

Wasn't he the dude all about feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, caring for the sick, aiding the elderly, spreading the wealth?

The dude dressed in rags, wore flip flops, had long hair, and saw visions. Definitely into bud.

Yep, sounds like a Democrat to me!

WWJD? He wouldn't be registered Republican, that's for damn sure!

Actually, Obama is against gay marriage; he is for equal benefits to gay couples, however.

And no, that doesn't mean I think he would be a Republican either. I think he was pretty much apolitical.

Like I said, I honestly could care less about that. I dont think marriage should be regulated at all by the government, since to most people its just a ceremony.

But if they are going to argue abortion is murder, shouldn't they argue war and the death penalty is murder?

Thing just don't add up. If you're going to vote based on your morals, they should be consistent.

---

As for the death penalty, I think that falls under the whole punishment thing. Since most Christians seem to think its up to them to tell everyone they are going to hell, it doesnt surprise me that they wouldnt mind killing "evil" people.

Im sure there is some sort of justification for everything.

With that being said, I despise most political parties, since they all have some sort of agenda. The government should be an accurate representation of what the people want.

Same with gay marriage, wouldn't the Christian God support people having a choice in the matter.

---

I do think there's something in the bible about killing gays...

And if you are going to base your political views on the Bible, then you shouldn't be for war, for guns, for the death penalty. It does mention violence in the Bible numerous amounts of time and how God doesn't support it.

If your not a republican or democrat then your apolitical?

Anyway, the Republican party is the Right Wing party of the usa, meaning the Conservitive party.  The world used to be all religious and such, and the Righties most of the time like to keep it that way (they like to conserve the past).  The right likes to cut civil liberties (usually with the justification of a holy book) while the left likes to cut the liberties of the businesses.  Therefore, by definition, the right-winged Repipublicans are baised when it comes to the bible.  Simple as that
