I Am Tired Of The Christian Right Acting Like They Are The Only Ones Representing Christians And That The Republican Party Is The Only Conscionable Choice For True Christians.

 There are many Christians who are Democrats and Independents. They just aren't as obnoxiously vocal as the radical and evangelical Christians who think their ways are the only correct ways.

A good Christian is not defined by the way he or she votes, and an over zealous Christian is not necessarily a good one.

 I believe so! I think that liberalism fits more into Christian doctrine anyway! Love thy neighbor etc> Then again I could be wrong!

 I agree. I know many liberal Christians who support their faith and the Democratic candidates.

 Any one can be any religion. My response may sound short, but it's true!

 I agree completely with cabrunet, just like back in the day everyone thought he was a vengeful god now everyone thinks he is a loving god. They will get over politics and race eventually.

 Anyone can be a good Christian, political party, race, creed or color has nothing to do with religion. It is all what you believe in.

 I should have put this in the other column- sometimes I hit the wrong key and cannot get it back! Now, The Bible sets the standard by which we should live our lives, including our lives as America citizens. Which would include voting. If a candidate doesn't measure up to the Biblical standards then, perhaps, we should rethink our candidate. We will give an account for what we do on this earth including who we have voted for. Believe me, your candidate won't be standing there to defend you- either
That being said, I do think a Christian can be a democrat, my parents are, my grandparents were, and I was raised democrat. I know this sounds kind of double sided, but I do believe this. I have been around godly democrats all my life, as well as godly republicans. We need to focus on the character of the candidate, and the issues he stands for, not the party. There are so many issues that concern us, not only the abortion and gay rights ones.

 How can you believe in the Bible and it's teachings and still continue to vote for candidates that promote ungodly principles? (IE:abortion, gay marriage, government policies that discourage family values,etc.) God is a loving God, but his grace towards us should not lead to licentiousness.

 I'm against it only for the reason that most people vote based on their morals and what they would like to see come into law or have changed. This said they would like to have someone elected that represents these ideas. Most liberals and democrates take an opposing view on the moral stances the majority of christians have. But in theory christians could be a liberal or democrate.
