I want to know, specifically, what those policies will be.
Statements like that scare the hell out of me and should scare everyone...Christians especially.
Mormon values? Jehovas Witness values? Baptist? AOG? Lutheran? Methodist?
That statement could be interpreted to mean allowing homo marriage or outlawing alcohol...even BOTH.
I don’t think this was a campaign event. It was scheduled a few months ago, before he was running.
In fact, his RPV appearance today in Richmond was also scheduled before he decided to run — it was a fundraising effort for our Virginia 2011 elections. Bob McDonnell said today that when he heard his good friend Perry was coming to Lynchberg to give a speech to the students about applying their Christian values to politics, Bob asked him to do a fundraiser, and Perry agreed.
Later apparently when Perry decided to run for President, Bob said it would have made sense to cancel the RPV fundraiser, but Perry wanted to help out.
It is difficult these days,and past days, to define and know what are Christian values. I have little problem with the term in so far as it alludes to values given in/by the Holy Bible.
There are basic Christian values as in the Bible. It doesn't involve outlawing alcohol, but considering drunkenness as immoral. Secondly, more to the point -- I don't care if a person is gay, do what you like in the privacy of your home, just don't have your gay pride parades waggling your perversion in my kids' face. Also, if they want "civil unions" -- ok, it's a government thing, but Marriage to me is a Sacrament, so that's off the cards.
Finally, abortion -- I call it killing and at the very least government should not be involved in sponsoring this -- I personally would want to see it banned except in the case of it endangering a mother's life, not as a form of birth control.
So yer sayin you'd be more comfortable with a murdering atheist like Pol Pot, Stalin or Hitler?
Or maybe a murdering moslem, like Achmedidjerdog?
Murder is not a "Christian value".
Mormon values? Jehovas Witness values? Baptist? AOG? Lutheran? Methodist?
Mormon and Jehova Witnesses are not really Christian...they think Christ was a prophet.
What's wrong with mainstream conservative protestant values? That IS America.
