you would vote a pagan into office as president?

Question

if someone that was a pagan ran for president and had really good points and seem like he would be a good president would you vote for him even though he is not a christian. its seems today that all the pior presidents have been extream christians and the ones that are'nt are never really seriouly considered for presidentcy?

i use the word pagan because that is wat i am. and im proud to be one. i shouldnt have to use the word non beliver

Answer 1

Yes, I would be all means vote for the person and strive to help him/her attain the office. Their religion is not what would be the deciding factor, however, it would however enhance the candidate in myeyes, what would really sway me iswhat issues and points they stand for is most important to me.

I too am Pagan, but that would not be the only reason I voted for the person. I usually take into consideration their past records and do some research to see if the person is a good person and follows The Rede as well as a non-pagan can.

I believe one of the biggest problems we have today is due to religion. Too many are just taking their beliefs too far. They are in some cases, allowing it be a deciding factor in their lives to the point they put common sense aside and do what they feel their religion dictates.

Its gone as far as creating wars between religions based solely on the differences in religions and the fact that each religion believes theirs is the only true way. This lunacy must be stopped! Religion is a personal experience, each individual gets something different from practicing their chosen path and the is the way it is supposed to be.

I want a person of integrity in office. A person who can differenciate between his duty and his religion.

I have always believed there is no room for religion in politics. I still feel this way. So yes I would vote for a pagan, but only if he stands for what I believe is the right and best things for the country.

Answer 2

No, a pagan as president will never happen cause he's missing one of the requirements. To be president of the US you have to be male, over the age of 45, a heterosexual, family man, and most importantly a christian.
If you're missing at least one of those you've already lost the elections regardless if you were running against a baby murdering, child raping larcenist with multiple personalities. Now I'm not saying anyone in office or anyone we know is, don't get me wrong please, I'm just saying if you're running against someone like that while you're a athiest, jew, pagan, etc., you've already lost.
They have done a study in the US and the majority of the population would never vote for an athiest candidate, regardless if he was more qualified then his competitor.

Answer 3

Um, I didn't know Paganism ever had a strong foothold in the USA. Hmmm.

It does seem that recent Presidents have used religion as an electoral marketing tool. It's almost as if it is the new divine right of kings. As a committed Christian I can honestly say that has nothing to do with politics. And a political leader who is suggesting you vote for him out of respect for God is just scary.

Answer 4

sure if agreed with them on maximum matters i might vote for the guy whether they had a discern from yet another planet frankly. matters are what could rely in politics not faith. I disagree including your fact however because of the fact Abraham Lincoln became into considered someplace between a Deist and Atheist maximum of his existence consistent along with his close acquaintances Herndon and Lamon. additionally however Jefferson participated incredibly in his nearby congregation he became into understand for not being literal and surely tried to make a non-literal bible at one element.

Answer 5

Yes I would, given you parameter of “really good points”.
Pagan, country dweller, one attuned to and understanding of nature, respectful of nature that supports and nurtures humanity. My personal beliefs center around the divine feminine which colours my perspective. But somehow the simple, straight forward honesty of those attributes would suggest a strong, fair and balanced leader.

Answer 6

Yes, why not? even though I m religious, I don't believe that being a Christian guarantees a good peaceful presidency. Take Bush as the best example

Answer 7

When you use an emotive word like a 'pagan' I can see why people might want to shy away. Had you said a non-believer or a Humanist, I would say Gladly YES!!!

Answer 8

I'd have to know what god was his favorite. If he had a shrine to the god of war in his office, I'd vote no, just as I would have voted no for George Allen, the Senate candidate who proudly displayed a Confederate flag and an noose in his workplace.

Answer 9

i would very much prefer a candidate who is not dedicated to a mythology which has caused more deaths than all other causes combined. religion is the greatest enemy of mankind ever invented. just look at iraq. look at the holacaust. look at the inquisitions. all of these are/were religion based. and the examples go on and on. if a candidate can really have the best interest of the people in mind, religion cannot play a part in his/her agenda.

Answer 10

People do not like others that is different. Christians make out th e largest part of the world and therefor will be more likely to vote for one of their own.
