Yeah, it would be just like someone saying they're a God-fearing athiest.

Anyone ever heard of the Christian Left? The right does not own Jesus, but the left has effectively disowned him.

I was thinking the same thing.

Barf! Liberals claim to be for the little people, but what about the little people in the womb? Bums and indigents have a voice on election day, but the only voice the unborn have is ours. We must prevail.

Yes it is. I have always believed it is impossible to be a liberal, and a true, born again Christian. I think the majority of liberal positions, are anti Biblical.

Hmm. I seem to recall that Jesus called on individuals to "...do unto the least of these...", i.e., helping others. He also said that we would "...always have the poor with us..." (Matthew 26:11), and in Matthew 6 he teaches us that when we give to not let the left hand know what the right is doing (don't be giving in order to get credit and pats on the back).

Jesus never once denied that an individual has a responsibility to work AND to serve others. The problem is that He wants us to CHOOSE to do so and not be forced or coerced. From a Christian perspective it would be awesome if our government fully and truly operated on Biblical principles and standards but it does not.

I don't begrudge my brothers and sisters in Christ for wanting to use government as a force for good and social change. I believe that there is a legitimate debate for that political philosophy. However, if a candidate or political party is opposed to Biblical standards then I cannot see any justification for their support by Christians.

With Clinton we have discovered what happens to government with an amoral (or rather IMmoral) leader:

• There are no absolutes only nuanced positions (hmmm...Kerry?!?)
• All viewpoints are valid and permissible unless they disagree with liberal theology political philosophy. Then they must not be tolerated by the Anointed & Tolerant leftists.
• Character, integrity, and moral clarity are meaningless intellectual constructs "as long as the job gets done". A pedophile might be one of the most gifted teachers in the world - he or she STILL doesn't need to be teaching children.

I find it unthinkable and totally baffling how a Christian can openly support, indeed even campaign for, a platform that endorses killing babies, no moral standards, and not making individuals responsible for their actions (or inactions). With Jesus you knew exactly what He stood for - he made it very clear, very black-and-white. Jesus did not "nuance" His positions. He said what He meant and He meant what He said ("Let your yes be yes..." Matthew 5:37). If we are to use the author's argument then which candidate most resembles Jesus in this regard?

That's about like the Pro child/Pro choice bumper sticker I saw last week in Savannah .I had to look twice to make sure that's what I read.
