Ok, I am very open minded. I beleive everyone has the right to beleive in and practice what they want, everyones life is different and I dont tell anyone what to do in theres. But, if Goerge bush campained the same way he did same terms politcaly speaking, EXCEPT he was tolerant of gay marriages, and abortions... Would you have still voted for him? I am just interested to see even though, theoretically our country has a strict policy of seperation of church and state, how true that really is

Most people voted for him because the United Council of Churches in America not only endoresed him but contributed over a million dollars to his campaign. Many told me that if God endorced him that is who she should vote for.
The Evangelist christians endorsed him and many preachers openly told the people to vote for him. Because he was going to stop abortion and gay's. Well we still have and will always have people who are gay. More abortions were done under this administration than previous. They have had more out right corruption than any other administration and out right hand outs to big business. Robbed from the poor and given to the rich.
How many lives have been lost to a war that we had no business being involved with. Sadam knew how to keep peace in his country and knew the volitile nature of the different groups of religions. They opened a can of worms. The churches are for big business and money. They are rich organizations and to sound respectable have to be against something. That everyone can agree on and that is ones who are a small minority that traditionally don't vote. Most unwed mothers don't vote.
Neither do gays. They are as crooked as the Republicans they put in office. They are like the pharasees of Jesus day rich money lovers. If these multimillion dollar Evangelists gave their money to help the poor there would be no poor in the world.
they are not the ones who help it is ones like Madonna building orphanages or Opray Winfrey or some singer.
When was the last time you heard of a church building an orphanage in Africa?

I for one and Christian and proud, even proud sufficient to pass to the polls and vote, per which candidate has the reliable of the people and u . s . a . in suggestions. My vote is inner maximum, so in spite of if I vote conservative, self sustaining, liberal, conservative, republican or democrat is not any one's business enterprise. i won't accept as true with people robbing the undesirable to stay wealthy after which killing them softly to maintain them in the undesirable homestead, that's no longer what loving your fellow guy is approximately and for people who're serious relating to the almighty dollar, the vote this is forged would be weighed against their reliable works in the top. looking after 1 yet another first, after which this planet, this is the neighborly stunning element to do. people could desire to get off their duffs and vote those oppressive minded people democrat or republican out that isn't do the will of the people in the interest they have been entrusted to do via the people. I make my vote count quantity and inspire others to accomplish that still. I thank God that He leads me and provides me a valid suggestions.

My mother is one of those. She is in favor of legal unions and allowing designated people the same privileges as married couples, but opposes the term "marriage" for gay unions on very solid and liberal-thinking grounds; calling gay unions "marriage" changes the definition of "marriage," and this re-definition of terms (Newspeak in Orwellian terms) is anathema to liberal thinking.
The abortion issue is pretty much a dead duck, but late-term abortions of fetuses over thirty-something weeks being treated legally as no different from trimming the toenails is even to my more liberal mind somewhat problematic, since we routinely spend tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars to save 22-weekers in neonatal ICU's. The line between this and infanticide is pretty blurry. I just don't have any answers, and so it doesn't upset me if somebody else doesn't either. By the way, the original Roe v. Wade decision allowed for a delineation depending on the dates of the pregnancy. This seems largely to have been forgotten.

Does this question go out to Christian Marxists too? If it does I did not vote for Bush because of his economic views. Did you know that the term separation of church and state first originated in a letter written by Jefferson in the early 1800s?

I'm not Christian, but I want to put my 2 cents in anyway.
1) There is no "strict separation of church & state". The constitution says no such thing. There is no law mandating any such thing.
2) People of faith have every right to base their votes on their faith bases understanding of right & wrong. The Constitution DOES guarantee the right to practice one's religion. This includes LIVING that religion.

I would most likely have still voted for him because I have always backed him on the war. I prefer a president with a backbone. Oh and if by keeping the peace she means by killing hundreds of thousands of his own people that yes Saddam did know how to keep the peace.

No, I wouldn't have voted for him then, if he'd run on that platform. I couldn't have voted for him under those conditions and still keep my conscience clear. But he hasn't done as much for pro-family issues as conservatives had hoped anyway, so that was disappointing.

Maybe, I don't know. Back then I was less tolerant of gay marriage and choice then I am now.
