Duty of Christians

[junie]

Who does? Please be specific. Pro-lifers? They come in several varieties. Two members of this forum are pro-life but one is an atheist and the other is not religious at all.

lol wake up, s0n!

With nominating contests completed in 27 states and nearly 40 percent of Republican National Convention delegates allocated, Republican primary voters are showing a record-breaking religious bent. So far, 50 percent of Republican primary and caucus voters have been white evangelical, or born again, Christians...

"Conservative people of faith are playing a larger role in shaping the contours and affecting the trajectory of the Republican presidential nomination contest than at any time since they began pouring out of the pews and into the precincts in the late 1970's," said Ralph Reed, founder and chairman of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, who called our attention to the numbers today.


Reed said conservative Christian turnout among Republicans exceeds its rate from four years ago, when 44 percent of white Republican primary voters described themselves as evangelical. They're not only a factor in the South but also in general election battleground states like Ohio, where 47 percent of Republican primary voters subscribed to the label this year.


Reed estimated that through the primaries in Alabama and Mississippi this past Tuesday, more than 4 million evangelical Christian voters had participated in those 16 primaries and caucuses where entrance or exit polls were conducted by CBS and other news organizations.


"They are indispensable to any winning strategy for the eventual Republican presidential nominee in both the primaries and the general election. Any candidate who ignores these voters and the values that motivate them does so at their own peril," Reed said.


Rick Santorum has been the favorite of Republican white evangelicals, capturing 32 percent of their votes, followed by Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, each with around 29 percent, according to CBS News exit polls.


The Faith and Freedom Coalition, with 400-thousand members and 31 state chapters, plans to distribute voter guides or contact more than 25 million faith-based voters by this November.

That doesn't answer my question, old lady. "lol"

[roadmaster]

i haven't hid my religion.

but i also don't run around trying to make others live by my rules.

Well I was right. I like most Jewish but many don't even believe in God or G-D. Knew some into Wicca. Christians should be people who walk with Jesus and Jewish should be people who walk with God. No I wont sound like an atheist for you or anyone else. Doesn't look like you have any rules.

i'm not an atheist. nor do i expect anyone to sound like one. i just don't want government to have anything to do with any religion.

history has shown it doesn't end well.


and, frankly, jews do much better in moderate societies... so i want the radicals as far away from the running of this country as possible.

as for rules? i have personal rules... like treat everyone as you'd be treated. (or at least try); don't be a judgmental idiot; and stay out of other people's personal business.

and i expect the same from other people and my government.

as to the other stuff... if someone wants to listen to you try to convert them, that's on them and is their business. but i've never understood the need to manipulate other people into one's belief system.

and i've never met anyone who wanted to 'save' me who i thought was more moral than i am.

Yet, that all you have done on here butting into other peoples religion. You have been nothing but judgemental on every post here. Telling people what to believe had how to believe. You do not stay out of other people's business why should they stay out of yours.

The Right Wing has every right to be in government, and they have every right to use legal means to meet their goals.

butting into *your* business? lol

no one is trying to keep you from having a voice. but that voice has to be proportionate to your numbers. you aren't the majority. in fact, the radical right is a teeny minority...

with a very big mouth ...

and very obstructive behavior.

you're also, i'll remind you, the ones who think you're the morality police.

i'm a believer in the 1st amendment and i want your religion out of my government.


now take a valium or something and get your rage in check.

because, frankly, it's not impressive

More of that judgement that you say you don't do, and tell other not to do. BUT your exempt right.

we all exercise "judgment". i said i am personally non-judgmental.

i don't care what other people believe.

when you want legislation to reflect your religious beliefs, i have every right to judge that as destructive.

perhaps if you cared less about what other people believe, you wouldn't seem so enraged all of the time?

and i'll remind you that it's your guy who said "judge not". why do those words not matter, despite jesus saying them, but the hatred of homosexuals does, despite the fact that jesus was pretty big on the he who casts the first stone thing...

and never said a single word about homosexuals.

selective, aren't you?

Racist, homophobe, reactionary blah blah...those are judgments, Jillian. Granted, rather silly ones but judgments nonetheless. You are a very judgmental person.
