I sooooo agree with your post.
I believe he Jesus Freaks will be the death of the conservative party. I don’t give a rat’s ass what religion a politician is, as long as he has a long and proven track record on conservative practices.
And I too am familiar with the Christians you mention. They act like total dickheads six days a week, then think that a 40 minute sermon and $5 in the collection plate will bring them salvation. And I am familiar with the ‘doesn’t matter what we are talking about, I will find a way to ram scripture down your throat’ Christian. Quite frankly, as a Christian myself, it scares the crap out of me and angers me at the same time. Drinking that Jesus juice makes some lose all common sense and perspective.
I am of the belief that true Christians do not need to jump on a pulpit and witness every waking moment! They should be leading by example and making the rest want what they got and follow out of desire of God’s riches, not out of a bully pulpit or screaming from the rafters.
I would LOVE to have a true Christian in the White House. I do not wish for one badly enough to sacrifice the downfall of my country to get it, though.
Give me a true Constitutionalist over a bleeding heart religious freak any day. In the end, I would rather stand before God as an honest heart for the best of my country than put my self wants above all else.
A "true Christian in the White House" could not bring about the downfall of our country. By definition, a true Christian would be following both the Constitution and the Will of God, which are not remotely contradictory. If you believe Scripture, God sets our leaders in place and allows them to govern. If downfall occurs it will be because we, the Christians of this nation, deserve it. Not because of the action or inaction of one person.
Furthermore, Huckabee is a Southern Baptist. Most people, even non believers, would not classify Southern Baptists are "bleeding heart religious freak(s)". In fact, I think those terms are contradictory. Most bleeding hearts, or liberals, are atheist, Catholic/Orthodox or Jewish. Most Jesus freaks, like myself, are evangelical and pentecostal and tend to be very conservative. In fact, I and nearly everyone in my church would be very insulted to be called a bleeding heart. You seem very angry to me. If you hadn't said you were a Christian I wouldn't have guessed.
