Question to Christians?

Question

lets's say you have two candidates running for president which we will be having in late 2008 anyway this part is hypothetical let's say that the two candidates were agnostic and christian now they both have some experience in the political game as i like to call it now the agnostic has 30 years of experience and the christian has 15 years of experience and the agnostic has some really good policies in place and has more experience in going about handling situations and the christian doesn't handle situations as good but has good policies in place who would you vote for and why?

why do i get the feeling that almost everybody is sidestepping the question it really is kind of annoying all you have to do is say who you would pick and why and let's for the sake of argument say that both of them the agnostic and christian have good morals who would you pick and why

Answer 1

"the christian doesn't handle situations as good "
In that case,agnostic.

Answer 2

I always vote Christian. They may not have the best policies but they will stand for the Ethics I believe. If we are to remain a moral society we unfortunately have to make some sacrifices to keep it moral.
Bush is a good Christian man, but I don't agree with his policy of "Free Trade". This may look good on paper but it is costing me my job. U.S. corporations can import to the U.S. without import tax so long at they have a corporate headquarters within the U.S. My company is looking to send my job to Mexico where they can pay $1.75/hr instead of paying me 12.75/hr. I think we should take care of our own problems at home before we look to bring other countries up to our standards of living. The national debt is growing larger and the people in this country divide further in wealth. The rich get richer (Big business) while the poor get poorer (unemployed workers who can't find a decent paying job).
As most middle-class job are sent away to create stable economies in other countries.

Answer 3

I hate to tell you this, but they are going to pick the Christian. Their reasoning is that they are getting guidence from god, who knows how things ought to be. Also, you are going to get answers, like the amount of experience shouldn't matter, but the quality of the canidate. Look, I've learned that Christians don't actually answer the questions you put forth. They sidestep it, and the biggest problem with that is they don't even know they are doing it. It's like pulling a sting on a pre-programmed doll. Like ask it any question but there are only so many things it can answer you when you pull that string. They are just reiterating what they have been told and they can't step outside that box. You know how many questions I've posted and then have to just remove because nobody could actually answer the question. Ok, i'll get off my soapbox now.

Answer 4

True Christians don't vote for either one. They are not part of this world. They have already given their votes to God, that's the true Christians' way. Humans, no matter how good their policies or experienced they are; they are only a bunch of disappointing politicians (power, pride, money, make a name for themselve). This is exactly what Satan the devil was doing. Read Isaiah 14:12-14 below.

Isaiah 14:12-14 “O how you have fallen from heaven, you shining one, son of the dawn! How you have been cut down to the earth, you who were disabling the nations! 13 As for you, you have said in your heart, ‘To the heavens I shall go up. Above the stars of God I shall lift up my throne, and I shall sit down upon the mountain of meeting, in the remotest parts of the north. 14 I shall go up above the high places of the clouds; I shall make myself resemble the Most High.’"

True Christians should have known better to vote for either one. If they want to remain in God's approval, they should remain no part of this world; because this present system of things (the world) is being rule by Satan himself. All the earthling kingdoms and governments are under the influence of Satan.

Answer 5

I would have to have allot more information than that. The truth is, I wouldn't vote for a Christian just because he says he is a Christian, I would vote for his values and character. If he was a true Christian who relied on God for his answers, and not on man, then yes, absolutely, I would vote for the Christian. Hands down.

Answer 6

An American would vote for the person who he/she feels will do the best job for the entire nation... a right wing fanatic will only vote for a candidate who believes gay people deserve no rights, woman should be barefoot and pregnant, thinks abortion should be illegal, and stem cell research is murder. This same candidate will certainly be a war monger, lack charity, and have all manner of personal "sins" he/she is dealing with... not to mention outof control children of their own... but you get the idea...

A person's "faith" is only important to me if that person's faith requires them to alter the laws of the land to require that all people adhere to their views. I will always vote for the person with the best plan and most experience.

Answer 7

Which ever one agrees with me the most. Why wouldn't I vote for the one that I think will pass the laws I want?

Answer 8

Just because the person is labeled a "Christian" doesn't mean he really is one.

"You will know them by thier fruits"

-Jesus

Fruits are like the equivalent of "actions" or "promises kept"

Answer 9

I think Karl Rove has already answered your question in the last couple elections.

Answer 10

The one who is a Libertarian.
