I don’t think I ever wrote Dobson doesn’t have the right to say or do what he wants. Secondly, I don’t think a candidate’s faith is irrelevant. If forced to choose between a devout Christian and a secular leader who are nearly identical on the issues, I’d pick the Christian. However, please consider, that’s not so easy to tell.
Huckabee, for example, is by far the most vocal Christian, but I have no way of knowing his sincerity. The loudest singers in church aren’t necessarily the strongest believers. What I can do is evaluate Huckabee’s history as governor and decide whether or not he translated his faith into deeds.
This is where there’s a distinction between liberal and conservative Christians. Liberal Christians who think government needs to take care of people might appear moral, but I think they are quite wrong and immoral. I don’t see anything “Christian” about taking from one person against their will to give to someone else. That’s stealing.
So, I’m trying to show how it isn’t enough to simply vote for the Christian guy, Huckabee. You probably agree, and I think your post made the point we should select our leaders carefully.
