Democrats can be Christians too

[Jacques Anape]

I usually vote Republican, but after some of the antics we've seen in recent times I intend to vote Democrat in November.

Democrats can be Christians too, you know. In fact, I'd be willing to hazard a bet that if Jesus was in the USA today, he may well be casting his vote for Barack Obama. Is war really the 'godly' way?

I don't like this tendency to judge the state of someone's soul on the basis of their politics. I would humbly suggest renaming this discussion board 'Godly politics' instead of 'Godly Republican Politics'. There is nothing godly about waging a war where 93,000 CIVILIANS have died all because George and Dick wanted to get their hands on some oil. As someone who voted for Bush, I feel ashamed now to call myself American. Anyone else here feel the same?

They may say they are christians! But are they really CHRISTIANS?? I severly doubt it. There morals and guidelines tend to not agree with my strict religious beliefs. And I am not one to just let it go......

Why the hell should I be ashamed to be an American? This wasn't a war about oil, it was about sending Christ haters to a fiery death. Don't you realize that mudslums deny that Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead? What does the Bible say about those who deny Christ?

Exodus 15:3: The LORD [is] a man of war: the LORD [is] his name.

And then there are all of the righteous genocides that God commanded, as described in the Old Testament.

Oh, but wait. God changed His mind completely between the Old and New Testaments, so He wants us to ignore two-thirds of His Word.

Really? How do you think George W. Bush got elected, against the "will of the people", TWICE? Diebold? NO! DIVINE INTERVENTION!

God knows all and is all-powerful. If God did not want George W. Bush to be President, he WOULDN'T be President!

Why do you deny the power of the Almighty?

Is war really the 'godly' way?

I wonder what Jesus thinks about that. Let's ask Him, shall we?

Matthew 10:34
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Not peace, but a sword.

As the good Pastor Isaac Peters has mentioned, there are numerous God-demanded genocides in the Old Testament*, and of course there's the Book of Revelation, in which we learn how God will turn the Earth into a living Hell of slaughter and torture in the years before Judgment Day.

War sure sounds pretty Godly to me.

13 posts and you're trying to tell the Pastors how to organize their forum?! What presumptuous twaddle will you spew forth next?

There is nothing godly about waging a war where 93,000 CIVILIANS have died all because George and Dick wanted to get their hands on some oil.

Oh. THAT pretentious twaddle.

No, there is nothing Godly about what you describe, if it were reality. Here in the real world, there is plenty Godly about a war in which 93,000 Jesus-hating, demon-worshipping MUSLIM INFIDELS have been sent to Hell a bit earlier than they had planned!

As someone who voted for Bush, I feel ashamed now to call myself American. Anyone else here feel the same?

No. I would re-re-elect Bush if the opportunity were offered; since it's not, I'll be voting for John McCain!


*Numbers 31 is a favorite of many here, because of the leadership and courage displayed by Moses in slaughtering all the Midianite boys of any age -- even newborns! -- and all the women and girls who weren't virgins, then giving the virgin girls to his men to use as they see fit . . . go read it!

Do you believe those 93,000 civilians went to Heaven or Hell after they died?

If you think Heaven, what makes you think that?

If you think Hell, why is it acceptable to burn someone in a Lake of Fire for eternity, but not to shoot them?
