Figure out that it has more to do with the values that these people have or do not have. It just so happens that Christian values are more in line with what I believe so I usually vote for the Christian candidate that best represents MY values.

How do you reconcile that with the statement you made earlier in this thread:

The " other side " are people who are not Christians. I have no animosity towards Jews,they are God's chosen people, and I am a big supporter of Israel but when I vote it is for someone who has values similar to mine. CHRISTIAN!

You "usually" vote for the Christian candidate? I take it you then sometimes vote for what you characterize as "the other side"? If it were actually about values, "your side" would be anyone who represented your values - not only those who are also Christian.

The "other side" of Christians are simply enough, non - Christians. I believe that every time I have voted it would have been for a Christian candidate. Seeing as most candidates are Christian I don't have much of a problem in voting for the Christian. I wouldn't vote for a Jew because he was a Jew, just like I don't vote for Christians simply because they are Christians. I vote for the candidate who represents my values.
The point was that they were saying because Harris brought her religious views into the equation she was not qualified somehow to hold public office. My response was aimed at the prospect of a non - Christian who had values that would be similar to mine and running against a Christian who's values were opposed to my values, ie Bill Clinton.
Really, the situation doesn't come up very often anyway. I just get tired of people bashing Christians. Try bashing Jews or muslims and the thought police will ban you or you will get sued or some other crazy thing. It's like open season. Maybe we Christians should react by burning down some museums that display Christ in urine. Or lop off heads until it stops. Thats the ticket, instill fear in everyone who disagrees. Why don't we all just join the Democrat party.
