November 5, 201213 yr The ONLY way a dent is made in the two-party system is for enough folks who really believe in a third-party candidate (over the D and the R) to actually man up and pull the lever fpr their candidate. If BGP is an indication of the rest of KY he should get that 5%.
November 5, 201213 yr Wouldn't a "Christian" want people with pre-existing medical conditions to be covered by healthcare? Obamacare allows 30 million people with pre-existing medical conditions to now be covered by healthcare. Isn't that a "Christian" act? Yes, most Christains would like for everyone to have quality healthcare but I would also think that most atheist would want the same thing.
November 5, 201213 yr So a candidates religious views do not matter to you,as long as they have good morals? Would you vote for an atheist with good morals before you would vote for Obama? To question 1: Absolutely not. To question 2: Their religious views (or lack thereof) would have no impact on how I vote. Frankly, I find it a bit sad that people let their religious feelings cloud their judgement when it comes to elections. Our country was founded on separation of church and state. I wish more approached the process in that manner.

Obamacare allows 30 million people with pre-existing medical conditions to now be covered by healthcare. Isn't that a "Christian" act? Sure, but it's one that our country can't afford to pay for. And this is coming from someone with major pre-existing conditions that make it so if I were to lose my coverage I'd really struggle to ever be covered again.
November 5, 201213 yr Sure, but it's one that our country can't afford to pay for. And this is coming from someone with major pre-existing conditions that make it so if I were to lose my coverage I'd really struggle to ever be covered again. I hear you and I understand completely.
November 5, 201213 yr Yes, most Christains would like for everyone to have quality healthcare but I would also think that most atheist would want the same thing. I agree. So why would one be more dangerous than the other? Their religious affiliation has nothing to do with balancing a checkbook.
November 5, 201213 yr I'm only speaking for myself but if the atheist had a social platform the exact opposit of Obama's then yes. Furthermore, what actions taken by Obama make you believe that he is any different than an atheist? One other question, what is more dangerous, an atheist or someone who claims to be Christian but doesn't live or conduct themselves like a Christian? 1.I can understand that. 2.I don't know if He is any different.(I'm not sure what He believes)! 3.Definitely the Christian. Please understand that I'm not voting for Obama.
November 5, 201213 yr I'm still trying to figure out why so many Christians,that base their vote on a candidates Christian beliefs would vote for Romney. If they are voting on political issues only,leaving out their Christian biblical views,then I can understand why someone would vote for Romney! I have read that these are some of the Mormons beliefs... Jesus and Satan are brothers. The Garden of Eden is in Missouri. Joseph Smith is a prophet,that he is as important as Jesus. I won't be voting for Romney or Obama. One of my reasons that I will not vote for Romney,is because of the hatred I have heard towards Obama from Christians! I've had people from my Church tell me that they are voting for Romney because He is the lesser of two evils.Is there such a thing in Gods eyes?Some folks may believe that,and that's cool with me because that's between them and God. I believe that evil is evil,and I don't trust Romney or Obama! I maybe would vote for Romney if it wasn't for my Christian brothers and sisters bashing Obama because of gay marriage,abortion and him supposedly being a Muslim! I don't fear who wins,because I put my trust in Jesus Christ... So I'm still undecided,but I do know I will not be voting for Romney or Obama.:thumb: You have to be able to seperate your ereligious beliefs from your political beliefs. Just ask Joe Biden
November 5, 201213 yr I agree. So why would one be more dangerous than the other? Their religious affiliation has nothing to do with balancing a checkbook. I did a poor job of framing my last questions. Let me rephrase, who does more harm to the Christian faith, an atheist president or a president who claims to be a Christian and acts like an atheist? Sorry for the confusion.
November 5, 201213 yr I did a poor job of framing my last questions. Let me rephrase, who does more harm to the Christian faith, an atheist president or a president who claims to be a Christian and acts like an atheist? Sorry for the confusion. Ohhhh, okay. Gotcha. I'd say the Christian would do more harm to the faith perception wise. Christians don't take kindly to being misrepresented. The problem is that Christians are misrepresented everyday and tend to pick and choose which misrepresentation is the worst. Separate the church and the state and the problem will evaporate. Yeah, I busted that rhyme out real quick.

Yeah, I busted that rhyme out real quick. Very nice! Once again I apologize for getting of the track. My point was that what someone claims to be is not that important it's how they live their lives that matter.
November 5, 201213 yr 1.I can understand that. 2.I don't know if He is any different.(I'm not sure what He believes)! 3.Definitely the Christian. Please understand that I'm not voting for Obama. I get it. I actually appreciated the orgional question on Mormons. My interaction with those of the Mormon faith have been positive experiences but I didn't and still don't get the whole religion. Some of it sure seems weird to me but I'm sure Christianity seems strange to none believers.
November 5, 201213 yr Very nice! Once again I apologize for getting of the track. My point was that what someone claims to be is not that important it's how they live their lives that matter. Very true.

I wish more approached the process in that manner. Please don't get me wrong on this... I agree with you 1oo%.The problem that I have seen from my end of the spectrum,are the Christians that love to bash Obama for his religious beliefs,but have no clue of Romney's beliefs.:thumb:
