Christians do not compromise.

Rommey, Guiliani, McCain and, Christians.

If conservatives are serious about getting a republican back in the White House, they better stop expecting that Christians compromise on their values. Being that we know where we were in life before Christ came in to our lives we will never turn our backs on him.

Jesus is sacred to Christians. Asking them to pick a candidate that is of a religion that is a polar opposite of Christainity or who has publicly disrespected Christianity is like asking Christians to turn their back on Jesus, who they love and regard with admiration for been merciful and graceful in saving them.

In addition, I encourage Christians to live their faith during these politically challenging times in America. Daniel and his friends did not pray to the statue of the that king, why should we compromise our loyalty to God, when the threat is no where near what Christ had to endour for us.

In my opinion, McCain spoke his mind willing and without remorse when he attacked two of the Christian faith's leaders. Therefore, McCain has no one to blame but himself for Christian not wanting to vote for him.

Giuliani, my opinion, is playing politics with the issue of abortion. If you have been paying attention you what heard statements such as "For me abortion is wrong, but I think a woman should have the right to choose for herself". These are statements made by people who want offend as little people as possible. I have been hearing these type of politically correct statements for quit some time now.

Moreover, I have stated before that for me abortion is murder and anyone who facilitates it is a murderer. For this reason I cannot see how true Christians can consider voting for a person, who thinks a woman should have the right to choose to murder an unborn child.

Rommey is in no way a Christian. I have made my case in other essays on this blog. In addition, not only is Rommey not a Christian his faith is in direct opposition to the true Christian faith. Where in the King James Bible does is say the Christ is the brother of the devil? Mormoms believe Christ is the brother of the devil.

Therefore, on the issue of who should Christians support, I say support some one who respect yous as a Chrisitian and is not against the principles of the Christian faith.

Moreover, to everyone who thinks 'well Christians are just going to have to be more reasonable and support a Gulliani or Rommey just so a republican can win the White House, I say " I crucified Christ with my sins. Turning my back on him would be like crucifying him again".

Hence, the ones who are going to have to be more reasonable are non-believers. I just do not see how a republican gets elected to the presidency without the support of the faithful.

I seem to remember something about the separation of church and state...but I might've been dreaming.

Religion and politics...two things that really suck to debate because passion always gets in the way of logic.

I seem to remember something about freedom of religion, and this strange 'freedom from religion' everyone seems to think they have instead... shown by the phrase, 'separation of church and state'. Yeah, you can believe whatever you want, but I can believe whatever I want too, even if I'm an elected official.

No argument there...but when it seems to be your driving platform then there's something wrong.

Separation of church and state implies that the government will not govern religion or vice versa...however, that seems to be the case these days. Well, the country is overwhelmingly Christian and the government is also filled with lots of Christians...so maybe it doesn't matter.

wrong separation of church and state is designed to keep the state from recognizing one religion over all the rest.

however you and the democrats/liberals want to thrust non religion down our throats.

in my opinion non religion is a religion. it is the belief that there is no god.

Separation of church and state does imply that the government will not govern religion or vice versa, while freedom of religion implies that the government will not govern religion, and doesn't imply anything about vice versa. But, like you said, Christian people, Christian government... sounds like a government of the people, by the people, for the people.

Asking them to pick a candidate that is of a religion that is a polar opposite of Christainity

since "Christianity" can be interpreted in many ways.. I always found it quite odd that people may describe someone as "the opposite of Christianity", or "The opposite of moral values", since whatever you are trying to describe with those words are usually YOUR moral values (or those that have been shoved into your throat while you were a kid).

Someone can beleive that abortion is moral. Or that it should not be made illegal. Or that in specific circumstance, if should be allowed - even encouraged -. The morale side of the question depends on the person talking, so don't say that peoples should be "on the side of values".

n my opinion, McCain spoke his mind willing and without remorse when he attacked two of the Christian faith's leaders. Therefore, McCain has no one to blame but himself for Christian not wanting to vote for him.

Preposperous. So, it's impossible for leader of a faith to be wrong? They are always right, and should never be challenged? Want a theocracy with you fries, miss?

Moreover, I have stated before that for me abortion is murder and anyone who facilitates it is a murderer. For this reason I cannot see how true Christians can consider voting for a person, who thinks a woman should have the right to choose to murder an unborn child.

? Define a "true" christian? Those who agree with you, period? You have total monopoly on the christian's values & choices? Christians can change opinions on some values, and they are FAR from being right about anything.

Any political group that want to teach myths and legends over science as actual fact do not hold the "Truth" in my book.

Rommey is in no way a Christian. I have made my case in other essays on this blog. In addition, not only is Rommey not a Christian his faith is in direct opposition to the true Christian faith. Where in the King James Bible does is say the Christ is the brother of the devil? Mormoms believe Christ is the brother of the devil.

Mormons are christians, just a different sect. Deal with it. They beleive in different things than you, and your declaration simply underline that you believe that only "you" is the right faith, which doesn't make you any better than any muslim in Indonesia - who deny political rights to people on the basis on non-muslimhood -.

So.. because someone is not "your" kind of christianity, he should not be allowed to be in office?

Basically you just figured Jesus out. It's his way or the highway, all other Christians need not apply.

Guys, guys, guys. The author of this article is "Jesse Delesma", otherwise known as Jesus.

The author's name is Jesus. I'm not referring to the savior, the son of God. I'm talking about the retard who shat his opinion onto this article.

Well, it is not my way. It is the way of the majority who will support a candidate for the presidency. Today, in this real world, many Christians will not support a person who offends thier faith.

If you really want a republican to win, you have to take this fact in to account. The only way a republican candidate can is if he or she has the majority of support from all the diverse special interest groups in the conservative movement.

Failure to accept this fact is sure failure in 2008.
