"At church yesterday I told someone that you can't be a Christian and a Democrat. It resulted in quite an interesting argument. That may not be politically correct but I believe it to be true."

Whoa, that may be a little too strong. I would never say a Christian cannot be a democrat. I would, however, question why someone who claims to be a Christian would be a democrat considering the party's stands. Although I am a conservative evangelical Christian and currently Republican. I would never equate being republican with being Christian. It just so happens that for the present, the Republican party - at least in writing - is most close to my beliefs.

If pro-aborts & pro-homosexuals became a majority in the Republican party - I would bail in a heart beat. No party has a lock on morality.

Yes. That statement is a little strong. I did that on purpose to get someone's attention. I was talking about the current platform of the Democratic Party. There are people I know that will vote Dem. because their Union tells them to. To me, that appears to be putting a job before what I consider to be Biblical principles.

I never actually said being Republican equals being a Christian. I know MANY Republicans who aren't Christians. That's why it upsets me that there are people I go to church with who actually are going to vote for Kerry. I have struggled with how to deal with this in a loving, Christian way. I just feel so very strong about this and I truly believe Kerry is evil. That may seem harsh but that's how I see him.

I agree with you 100% that no party has a lock on morality.

Looks like your comments, and #18 are getting pretty close to the real truth.
