What's the POLITICAL difference between a Christian American & a non-Christian American?

Question

Why can't Christian Americans be political without enduring the bitterness of the moral bankrupt? This is a question that I would like some intelligent answers to. If you can't do anything but name-calling, don't answer.

Answer 1

As a Christian, I'd say that the morally bankrupt don't want us to speak out because they don't want to be limited by our morality. I would say that most non-Christains are morally sound, but there IS evil in the world. One cannot be an active Christian in any context without being attacked, because darkness hates the light. That's why we have to put on the armour of God every day.
I'd also say that I'm a moderate Democrat, and I know Christians who are liberal Democrats. It is too bad that some people in any belief system can't tolerate those who disagree with them, even when it's a matter of opinion and not morality.

Answer 2

Many are. A majority of those in Congress, when asked, will claim to be members of some religion and many are Christians, yet they vote in the death penalty and vote for abortion, both of which go against Christianty.

About 80% of the United States claims to be Christian, if this were the case the Majority could speak through a constitutional amendement and none has ever occured.

When all is said and done, mainstream Christians refuse to leglistate religion, because most tend to beleive it is a matter of choice and conversion.

And the battlefield is not Congress or the Courts or the Police, but one person to another.

Answer 3

I'm a non-Christian, an independent, and vote for whomever supports what I believe is important.

And for your information, I happen to have very strong morals. Just because they don't fall step for step down the line of YOUR religion, and just because I'm not willing to force them upon others, doesn't mean I don't have them. Perhaps the fact that a largely white male Christian government hasn't managed to pass Christian agendas is a sign that a Christian agenda isn't the best thing for the country, and SOME Christians are wise enough to recognize that.

Move to a theocracy like Iran if you want religion involved in politics, and good luck.

Answer 4

I am a conservative political thinker. I respect others that don't agree with my ideals. John Kerry for example I respect as a patriot. He am I are about as different as two people can be political.. When all the politics are over and the people have chosen we are one nation. I am proud of our history and proud of the young men making more history today. Yes I server in my day, I was regular Air Force and though I could have been assigned to Vietnam I was sent to communications base in North Dakota.. Some one had to be there I guess... Jim

Answer 5

right that's the fault on your argument: "the government has no good being in contact in marriage. marriage is a non secular prepare no longer political one." Marriage has consistently been a central authority difficulty. for this reason you ought to get a marriage license. this is a privilege given to you via the government. The ceremony is non secular, no longer the act. This became accomplished initially to regulate inhabitants in historic circumstances throughout the time of the midsection a while. Later it became accomplished for scientific reasons in extra present day circumstances. till the eighty's you had to get a blood attempt to get married to work out in case you and your companion's blood types might positioned a newborn in hazard because of the fact of blending beneficial and unfavourable blood types. on the instant they have drugs that restoration that issue. whilst did Jesus say we ought to consistently understand different religions? i do no longer remember that. which you need to to envision lower back. final analysis, marriage is surely a central authority difficulty. the government gadgets the circumstances that folk can get married via, purely like using standards. you do no longer permit a blind guy or woman force, and there are reasons for it. the communicate on the instant is over the justifications for marriage. that concept of marriage has no longer replaced religiously, inspite of the undeniable fact that it has replaced socially and that's the conflict in the government.

Answer 6

I have to comment on the jackass who thinks "Democrats don't have any morals." Of COURSE Democrats have morals - but unlike Repubilcans, one of them is that we don't impose our beliefs on others. Isn't freedom the moral on which this country was supposedly founded?

Sorry. To answer your question, Christian Americans are often - not always - conservative Republicans. Their aim is to infect our laws with their religious beliefs, all the while complaining that they're being "persecuted against." Most non-Christian Americans tend to be Democrats who want people of ALL faiths to retain their rights and freedoms.

I think, based on the results of the last election, that many Americans are rejecting the religious right's agenda. Ironically: thank God for that!

Answer 7

Christian American: they put their religion before the needs of the people. they see that women have no rights and all other religions
non-christian Americans: try to get along with everyone, just want tolerance, don't put religion in front of people's needs.

Answer 8

I was just going to say religious opinion, but you obviously just want to pick a fight....morally bankrupt. Have a nice life.

Answer 9

I think it is hypocritical of you to call non-Christian Americans morally bankrupt and then tell us not to resort to name-calling.

Answer 10

I take it you are a believer and a name caller. Ask an intelligent question for an intelligent answer.
