To be sure, there are people who call themselves Christian and who are liberals. But their 'Christianity' is usually (not always) something very different from what appears in the New Testament. I do not regard them as Christians

Then the Republican Party is the Christian Party?

Look at #15. He gave a good response to your question. Are there some Christians who are Democrats? Of course. But they are misguided in not thinking through the implications of the Christian view of the world. Is the Republican Party the Christian Party? No, it is not even always a Conservative party. But the Republican Party reflects much more closely a Christian worldview than the abortion-promoting, homosexual lifestyle-loving, anti-Christian attitudes of the Democrat Party.

When the Republican Party starts to act too much like the Democrat Party, then the Christians will leave to find another party that more accurately reflects their views. Until then Christians are gaining more power within the Republican Party and they should continue to try to push their values as stated in the Bible. It's the Democrats, with their friends in the ACLU, PFAW, NEA, and Americans United, who try to silence conservative Christians on cultural and moral matters. Please explain to me how a committed Christian could vote for the Democrat national agenda.

That's not what I said and you know it. What is especially annoying about your quote of my material is that you elided the next section, knowing that it was inconsistent with your glib response.

There are a lot of R's as well as D's who are also nominal Christians for reasons of either family history or political expediency but who hold a humanist worldview.

It is very hard to read the New Testament as a believer and to hold a humanist worldview--regardless what party you belong to. Some genuine believers apparently do in some regards; but I suspect that is the result of their not having studied the New Testament or not having thought through what it means for political philosophy.

But if you want to continue to twist what I said into the silly oversimplification above, go ahead.

Instead of asking questions, how 'bout you answer one? Do you think the New Testament is consistent with a liberal worldview or, for that matter, with any humanist worldview?
