Religious big governmentism is contradictory with Christianity.The problem is the GOP is saturated with people who don't understand Christianity. They honestly believe that Christ wants them to use earthly government to enact His teachings, and they honestly believe that voting for Huckabee is part of their path to personal salvation. They fear they'll be judged as sinful and condemned to Hell if they don't vote for the guy who quotes the Bible.
They're the same people who think God wants them to have eartly riches and that angels really are cute little girls in white robes with big eyes and wings, and you can pray to them.
It's just lazy Christianity. Rather than live a life of humble devotion and witness to others, they just want to punch a button on a voting machine and have the government enforce it. They need to remember that nowhere in the Bible did Christ scrap His ministry to travel to Rome and demand the Senate arrest everyone not following His teachings.

Spoken like a true ACLUist. "Oh you silly Christians, just go back to your churches and be quiet about all the sin around you. Don't bother trying to change anything. Just shut up and do what Cesear tells you!"
So do you think that Christ would have nothing to say about abortion and homosexuality? Do you think he would be fine with those perversions being legal and accepted? Actually, He talks quite a bit about both in the Old Testament. He says that the penalty for both is death. Do you think He's changed his mind since then? Or have we changed ours?
