Any value that you might attempt to pin to biblical stuff already existed independently in other regions of the world. In fact, it's quite likely that the Old Testament stole its better ideas from things like the Code of Hammurabai, which belonged to the Mesopotamian religion that worshiped Marduk.
Also, what many people envision when they say the word "God" is not the insanity of the Old Testament Yaweh, but rather the Platonic and Aristotelian monotheism of the Greek philosophers. Time to get an education Mr. McCain. Until then, you will not be my president.

Okay, the Mesopotamian religion is from one thousand years before Christ, Judeo- Christianity has roots that go back pre Moses and Moses is 1500 BC.

just because you do not believe in Judeo-Christian values does not mean that they do not exist- anymore than not believing in God makes Him non-existent. IF the OT stole from the Code of Hammuragai, which worshiped Marduk- why does it say all over scripture- That we are to have NO OTHER GODS before Him.- and His name is not Marduk?

i think of it relies upon on the guy songs; what are the lyrics keeping? If the lyrics sell premarital intercourse, drug/alcohol abuse, violence or some ingredient like that, then specific, it fairly is misguided to hearken to such subject concerns. I do have faith there are rock/heavy metallic songs that are extra advantageous uplifting (regardless of the shown actuality that probable extra advantageous stable to locate) and are okay to hearken to. i'm a Christian too, and that i actually love 80's song. As i'm starting to be in my faith, i'm extra advantageous waiting to parent even because of the fact the lyrics at the instant are not any extra advantageous suitable to Christ, and that i'm attempting to demonstrate removed from those specific songs. even with each and everything, as somebody stated, there is Christian rock and heavy metallic song available. God bless.

Have to disagree with you main points. Claiming they are Judeo-Christian values doesn't imply they were created or invented byt the group, just that they were adopted and used.
And as to your education, I would suggest you go back even further than most of your references imply, sounds like you used your high school books for research.
good try but not worthy of a B-.

I used to think John McCain was kind of cool, but it sure seems that, as his presidential hopes get higher and elections get closer, his mind gets smaller and smaller. Either that, or the press has turned up its spin doctorism way high...I'm not really following that closely, but I did notice this gaffe.

I think John McCain is right, we need a Christian president. It's working out so well for us now!

You are wrong, dear one. Christian/Judeo values are what this country was formed with. Your disbelief doesn't change fact.
God bless!

Maybe he was referring to paranoia toward other religions and atheists, persecution of gays, etc. Those still exist, with a vengeance.
