As it is...it looks like they are going to support an adulterer who's been married 3 times - or a guy whose religion is even wackier than their own. And obviously neither are against killing even more people just to try and save face.

I am not talking about all Christians: just the right wing evangelical fundamentalists.

Doma: Yes I heard @ Dobson & Hantity. But he's not the only wacko. The others are still deciding. And they WILL go with whoever the GOP nominates - including Dobson!

George W Bush and Hitler have more in common than you could imagine... Of course they would... they sell their souls to stay in power

Where did that come from? Why are you grouping everybody into the same bunch? Everybody doesn't think that way.
Many Christians lost their lives during WW2, trying to save Jews they did not even know. Corrie Ten Boom and her family were some of them. A Lot of European Christians went to the Death Camps too...You have to remember that Replacement Theology was really big falsely stating that the Church, replaced Biblical Israel... Just like the anti Christ Hitler spued bile from Hell....Only one denomination remained open and they were Not Evangelical Christians...

Just to clarify, and I am sure you realize that not all conservatives are evangelicals. A couple that come to mind are Rush Limbaugh and Ted Nugent. And the "power" and use that lightly that is being held by the current republican administration has nothing to do with Christianity and Evangelicals. God's peace to you

Well, I am what you would label a "religious right evangelical" and I do not support either of these two gentlemen that you have mentioned. True believers are not interested in "keeping their power" as you say. We do, however, vote for people that will maintain certain values that are important to us. At this point, I don't know who I will vote for.

Did you not see or hear the big debate between Sean Hannity and James Dobson over this issue.
Please seek info on that before making blanket judgments.

I am a conservative Christian, and I can tell you right now, I would not have supported Hitler- I know that he claimed to be a Christian, and doing these things in the name of God, but Hitler, must never have read his bible, because if he did he could never have killed those millions of God's chosen people. Please do not speak for those of us, who really love Jesus- because those of us who do, support what is right and godly, and Hitler was far from that.

Another one of those "serious" questions by someone who asks nothing and only seeks a chance to air his views.
You violate the whole idea of this forum. Grow up and ask some real questions. If you can't then just stay off here and let those who really seek ask questions.

"What we have to fight for. . . is the freedom and independence of the fatherland, so that our people may be enabled to fulfill the mission assigned to it by the Creator." [Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf, pp. 125]
"This human world of ours would be inconceivable without the practical existence of a religious belief."
[Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, pp.152]
'In early Feb. of 1933, he declared in the Reichstag (parliament) that the churches were to be an integral part of German national life.' " . . .
"The National Government will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built up. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality and the family as the basis of national life."
"The Government of the Reich regards Christianity as the unshakable foundation of the morals and moral code of the nation." "The rights of the churches will not be diminished." ( froxm The Speeches of Adolph Hitler, 1922-1939, Vol. 1, pg. 369-372 (London, Oxford University Press, 1942 - edition of 1969.)
"And the founder of Christianity made no secret indeed of his estimation of the Jewish people. When He found it necessary, He drove those enemies of the human race out of the Temple of God.
Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf, pp.174
"If there is a God, then he gives us not only life but also consciousness and awareness. If I live my life according to my God-given insights, then I cannot go wrong, and even if I do, I know I have acted in good faith."
"I may not be a light of the church, a pulpiteer, but deep down I am a pious man, and believe that whoever fights bravely in defense of a natural law framed by God and never capitulates will never be deserted by the lawgiver, but will, in the end, receive the blessings of Providence."
[ Hitler, in a 1944 speech ].
"Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith . . . we need believing people."
Adolf Hitler, April 26, 1933, from a speech made during negotiations leading to the Nazi-Vatican Concordant of 1933
Still another example of Catholic worship promoting hatred of the Jews at the time was the annual commemoration in Deggendorf in Catholic Bavaria of the professed miraculous appearance of "a lovely little child" from a communion wafer, which had allegedly been stolen and desecrated by the Jews of the own on 9/30/1337. On the same day, the pious Catholics of the town, acting "out of legitimate zeal pleasing to God," killed off all of the town's Jews. Many of the 10,000 pilgrims who came to celebrate these events each year in Hitler's day could read the inscription under a picture depicting the massacre in the Catholic Church, "God grant that our fatherland be forever free from this hellish scum." (Lewy, p. 272-72)
"Hitler did well in monastery school. He sang in the choir, found High Mass and other ceremonies intoxicating, and idolized priests. Impressed by their power, he at one time considered entering the priesthood."

It is hardly worth asking whether they would? Some of them did!
"I thank heaven for a man like Adolf Hitler, who built a front line of defense against the anti-Christ of Communism." — Frank Buchman (1878-1961), U.S. evangelist, 1936.

Every person will dissapoint, all have sinned. Who are you to judge anyone's sins. Christians believe in Christ and worship Him. They choose to vote for those who most closely align themselves with their beliefs politically, not because said candidate is perfect. If that was the criteria, there would be no worthy candidate. Grow up.
