So many of these Republican evangelical types are so VERY hypocritical--ie., BoyGeorge Bush--it is harder and harder to believe that they were every truely pious godbelievers.

Let me put it like this. Jimmy Carter would not compromise His faith in God while he was in the white house as president, and was unsuccessful in government, but as a priviate citizen who is still a devout Christian, he is more successful than ever. You can not mix politics and Chrisitanity. One will suffer while the other strives. You cannot serve two masters.
Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

If you look at the Christian religion, there is a long tradition of boys hanging out with other boys. Just look at the priest scandals that have been around for the past 20 years.

Foley was a pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage Catholic.
The Republican version of (3 purple hearts) Sen. John Kerry.
Corrupt to the bone. Both crooks.

I don't see what being a republican has to do with being A sicko. A democrat can be a sicko too. It is just another troubled gay pedophile. Anyone can be one. Their political and religious standing has NOTHING to do with it. He is just a very very bad man, and I am glad he is caught.

If he believes in the tenets of Christianity, he is a real Christian. I doubt people would lie about that.

Foley is gay. He can't believe in GOD, or he wouldn't be living the life he is. Sorry, but he is not christian. Not a true one anyway.

I never heard that Foley was a Christian.Where do you get that? I doubt it seriously.Just because he went to church as a boy doesn't make him a Christian.

I don't think he ever claimed to be a Christian. If he is, he is living in sin and needs to repent.
