So?
If one of those groups you listed had a man (or woman) in the running for president; you can bet your sweet bippy that their 'belief' system would be fair game; just as Romney's is.
The FACT that ROMNEY has gotten this far, illustrates how little effect Chrsitianity has on America today.
But wait just a short while longer, and we WILL see a return to things of the bible!
HEBREWS 11:37
My point is that I will criticize Ron Paul for the aspects of his overly ideological brand of Libertarianism and it’s limitations for the executive with relish but with posters I know here that are libertarians fighting with the left I will not disparage and hound them for their honest beliefs.
If that poster and I disagree I will make every effort to convince them while sharing in the fellowship of this forum. I have found myself here in much the same way that Chesterton tells us we are “dropped down the chimney of the house” of the family we are born into.
The experience he says is “christianizing” in a way that isolation with only the like minded is not. I know I can’t change my fellow posters mind by belittling his beliefs, stalking or trolling for him. I can only modify him by living the truths of my First Principles.
I oppose Romney due to his chameleon demagoguery and willingness to always work with leftists on compromise. While firmly believing his faith is deficient, I stand by the rule of the founders and eschew a Religious test for office.
As for others of that faith that have chosen to make common efforts with us here over a decade, I stand like Sam Adams ready to pray for my nation with any man.
Many on your side of this issue lack your forthrightness. They relish their hurt and anger and that lack of humility stifiles all Christian love. Taking an ecclesiastical authority upon themselves outside their communion appears, in the limits of Internet postings, as bigotry — a trait they probably to not have in real life.
My comments were given in appreciation for your frank and honest distinctions in your earlier post. I don’t plan to argue endlessly in hopes of changing any current tone of the forum. I only wish to honestly express my opinion.
