Yep, but the problem w/ these demos is they are simply not serious about their faith. They only want to use it as a means for polical power. And to gain votes. End of story.

1 step back, 2 forward. They call that progressism, I call that the progressive chokehold.

This is not friendship to religion, it's a state curriculum program, it's a master slave relationship between gov. & religion.

Those for "separation of church & state" ironicaly see nothing wrong in licensing & controling "proper government religious material" to the public schools.

Liberals have changed indeed. there was a time when they said no argument should be settled by force of arms or government... now they do it all the time.

Jeremiah 13:23. "Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil."

For Republicans who view Democrats as godless, the party's sudden, public embrace of faith is crassly political. Republican state Sen. Eric Johnson of Georgia excoriated Kasim Reed's Bible course proposal as "election-year pandering using voters' deepest beliefs as a tool." But Darrell Thompson, senior advisor to Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, told WORLD that Democrats have always embraced religious faith, just not so publicly, and "we're right to talk about it now."

Interesting. Right to talk about it now. That begs the question: Why was it wrong to talk about it before?

Believers know that this is wide of rhe mark and is fake as can be.

This is a ch__ch. What's missing?

Jesus said GIVE to the poor, which I do.

He did not advocate the government TAKING one's money.

Beware of socialists trying to twist His words.

"Those who are more concerned with 'social justice' issues, such as justice for the poor and the limits of capitalism, find more of a home in the Democratic Party."

What does this have to do with religion, exactly?!

... Howard Dean, who once said his favorite New Testament book is Job ...

YEEAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

What? It's not in the New Testament?

"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."

John 8:44

What is a Christian doing running for a party whose major plank is killing babies? The "Christian" who does that cannot be trusted.

Deception. Question a deceptive Democrat.

Outstanding FReeper comments bump!

In a Beliefnet.com response to the president's speech he alluded to the Good Samaritan and the book of Matthew, chapter 25: "I and many of my colleagues came to public service . . . to serve our neighbors, and to help the least among us."

I just love it when these Dims misquote or misinterpret the Bible. Matthew 25 has a couple parables. One is about being a good steward of another's money and getting rewarded. The other (the "cited" one) is about how INDIVIDUALS treat each other, not the gubmint. He comes across as being the Lord when he talks about the "least" among us, instead of a servant of the Lord. Typical Dim hubris and lack of knowledge.

As Liz's post indicates, wherever Democrats--or the Democratic Party--wish to convince American citizens of real religious conviction, let them:

"take a stand against Planned Parenthood, the NEA, the notorious ACLU----and any other group---which terrorizes Christians, and employs tyranny against Christians, whether through the schools, the legal system, the political system, the airwaves, or elsewhere, wherever Christian-hating surfaces." (I would add to that list, People for the American Way & NOW)

On the other hand, Liz states:

"Any candidate (or incumbent) who voted in favor of, or publicly espouses, anti-prayer, anti-life, pro-gay, and pro-sex-ed positions evidences a hatred toward Christians. These candidates should be advised that they cannot be seriously considered for public office at any level of our government."

A wisdom book advises, "Ye shall know them by their works."

[syriacus]

Most Democrats I know are religious.

Their "religion"
1. Tells them to force me to contribute (via taxes) to their causes
2. Tells pharmacists they must ignore their own consciences by dispensing the morning-after pill
3. Tells landowners what they can do with the trees and ponds on their own property

Yes. Democrats want their Utopia, at our cost.

They can slap as much paint as hey want to on that jalopy, but I still trust dems about the same as I believe the Koranic adherents.
