Christians For Dean ("...because Jesus Isn't A Republican.") (Laugh Aloud Alert!!)

[Recovering_Democrat]

Welcome to the Christians for Dean website. We exist to invite people of faith to consider joining the grassroots movement to elect Howard Dean president.

Evangelical Christians have traditionally voted Republican based on the pro-life/abortion issue alone. This created the voting bloc known as the "religious right' and the powerful Christian Coalition lobby. With a sometimes token stance against abortion, the Republican Party co-opted us into an entire economic and foreign policy agenda that has nothing to do with biblical values and commitments.

Mr. Bush has said his favorite philosopher is Jesus Christ. Yet his political priorities are often at odds with the major themes of Jesus Christ's life and teaching: peace, justice, and care for the poor.

For example, 500 American soldiers and 8.015 Iraqi civilians have died in a pre-emptive, unilateral attack that did not meet the principles of a just war, an almost universal conviction of religious leaders.

Instead of voting based on a single issue, Christians for Dean encourages voters to consider all the issues and embrace a consistently pro-life position as it relates to peace and foreign policy, compassion for the poor, capital punishment, access to health care and education, creation care, economic justice, and racial reconciliation.

The truth is, Jesus is neither Republican or Democrat. As Christians, we should be fiercely independent and deeply thoughtful, supporting leadership that best reflects our ideals and convictions.

Thank-you for visiting.

Other offerings: "Why Christians agree with Dean on gay civil unions".

Look, I know this guy is toast...but it is still kind of funny to see some people justify their idiocy.

Would this constitute heresy?

Another group of Dean supporters who can hold their national caucus in a mini-van.

This would be using unilateral in the multiple allies sort of way, right?

...8.015 Iraqi civilians have died...

I suspect that these people are not Americans or believe one can kill .015 of an Iraqi civilian.

I hope that no Christians are led astray by a Democrat who thinks that the book of Job is in the New Testament.

Instead indeed. Leftists cannot set a finger to a keyboard without betraying how stupid they believe evangelicals are.

LOL, but He sure is pro-life and any learned Christian knows that capital punishment is based on Scripture.

Nice try, Christians for Dean. I wonder who thought that one up?????

[weegee]

What is it about Sodom and Gomorrah that sodomites cannot understand?

[weegee]

Sounds like some Satanic work of AntiChristians leading the flock astray with lies.

[boomop1]

This ia about as much BS as Jews for Hitler, probably the homosexual Bishop supporting Episcopalian alleged Christians..

[mware]

LOL, and Mr. Deans favorite Book of the New Testament is Job.

Quite a Christian there.

[anniegetyourgun]

All two of them?

[Naspino]

unilateral attack

I thought is was un-Christian to lie.

[Billthedrill]

...embrace a consistently pro-life position as it relates to peace and foreign policy, compassion for the poor, capital punishment, access to health care and education, creation care, economic justice, and racial reconciliation.

Now, what is missing from this list? Hmm...let me think...let me think...

Mr. Bush has said his favorite philosopher is Jesus Christ. Yet his political priorities are often at odds with the major themes of Jesus Christ's life and teaching: peace, justice, and care for the poor.

Matthew 10:34 -- "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword."

Mark 14:4-7 -- "But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and said, "Why was this fragrant oil wasted? For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor." And they criticized her sharply. But Jesus said, 'Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me. For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; but Me you do not have always.'"

...access to health care and education, creation care, economic justice...

What on earth is "creation care"?

[sticker]

I am not a religious person, but unlike this clowns I know that Che' wasn't one of the disciples. They sound like liberation theology is still active

[BlueLancer]

"What on earth is "creation care"?"

Why, it's caring for creation.
You silly, you ...

Apparently, these are the people that believe the commandment says, "Thou shalt not steal, unless the majority says it's okay." Of course, that's in the New Testament right after Job.
