I have no candidate to push because I am looking for someone who isn’t a religious nutcase. I like common sense. I am Christian, so I do see some things from that viewpoint."
From your post, I take a few interesting things.
You're a Christian, but you look askance at "very religious" folks. They have a closed mind and, in fact, might qualify as "nutcases." You, on the other hand, have common sense and you see SOME things from a religious viewpoint.
Therefore, you're one of those "Christians" who are only slightly religious, and who think POVs based on non-Christian theory are equally valid. The things you do happen to see from a Christian POV are those which don't conflict with your OWN personal priority of being seen as tolerant and "open-minded." Don't want to be mistaken for one of those toothless, Bible-thumping snake handlers, right?
Yeah. I've seen the type before.
Unbelievable that you would say such a thing.
I am a very conservative Christian, however, I am not in agreement with Christians being as divisive as I have seen lately. The Bible is clear to warn a ‘divisive man once or twice then have nothing more to do with him’.
As Christians we are not to try and beat others into submission with the Word of God...especially if the person trying to teach someone is not understanding that all Scripture interprets itself, so taking it out of context to just make a point is ridiculous.
Especially if you are trying to get people to support Romney! The Mormon Church is built on Freemasonry, as is the Illuminati, NWO, and a lot of things that are not part of what most of us would vote for. I would not support an Islamist Extremist anymore than I would support an extremist who is claiming to be a Christian or Catholic, because most extremists are not Jesus centered but self centered....Jim Jones is a good example.
My whole point has been that “you can stand in a garage and claim to be a car, but that does NOT make you one”. Anymore than someone who goes to church and claims to be a Christian, really is a Christian. O Drama claims to be a Christian, enough said.
If you were a real godly person you would have discerned me by the Holy Spirit and have known what I meant.
I see several people on FR who give pages and pages of Scripture or religious material as a rebuff to things they just don’t understand, when they could condense that into a few paragraphs for easy understanding and be heard.
And lastly, who the h4&& are you to question my Christianity? I am a daughter of the KING, and I am probably more intense in my devotion to Christ than a lot of people. I am NOT however using it to beat people over the head to buy my candidate a vote, if I had one.
