In what part of the Christian message are you instructed that political leaders should be Christian? I suppose if you were an Orthodox Christian in Iraq or a Coptic Christian in Egypt that you’d be up a creek because you’d never be voting for a Christian leader.
Indeed, you’d never have any say whatsoever in the direction your country was heading and would divorce yourself rom politics entirely, right? You could claim no real concern for justice or ecomomic prosperity because, afterall, those wouldn’t be real values if they weren’t held by an Orthodox Christian. Right?
I just can’t think you’ve thought this through. Do you really think that Christ intended that men would divorce themselves from upholding justice and freedom whenever it wasn’t carried out by a Christian?
On the contrary, I believe that it was Christ who praised the work of the Samaritan and cursed the strict adherence of the Law by the Priest and the Levite who ignored the man in need in the ditch.
“Go and do the same,” I believe, were Christ’s words.
And I’ll further ask why you would so harshly criticize Romney the Mormon...or Samaritan, if you will?
He even proclaims Christ as his Savior...
CP,
Have you been reading these threads???
“In what part of the Christian message are you instructed that political leaders should be Christian?”
In what part of my posts did you read that I said they should?

What part of my posts said I don’t care about those things?
“I just can’t think you’ve thought this through. Do you really think that Christ intended that men would divorce themselves from upholding justice and freedom whenever it wasn’t carried out by a Christian?”
What part of my posts said any such thing?
Again, are you actually reading before posting???

PS - the Christ that you point out that romney proclaims
is not the Christ of the Bible.
