Declining moral code you say? My dear friend..christianity is but one of MANY believes, religions, lifestyles, cultures, morals, etc. The democrat party GRANTS all the different people in your country equality and freedom and does not force them to live how you as a christian want to DEMAND them how they should live.
And homosexual marriage blashpemous? Honestly all these people do is LOVE eachother. They want to show this to others and want to show their commitment to each other by secular marriage (or some homosexual-christians in the face of God). What is wrong with this? Sure they cannot produce offspring...but last time I checked the human race was vastly overpopulating the world, destroying the environments and flora and fauna in the process. If homosexual/bisexual/hetero sexual people want to commit themselves to each other (also legally) by marriage you have NO right to forbid this by law.

And of course it is OK to give children good sexual education and sexual tolerance. It makes them respect others despite the differences between them. It also informs them about diseases you can get from unprotected sex. Do remember one of the primary reasons AIDS has spread so rapidly in Africa is becuase the Church there condems the use of condoms. Christianity is also the dominant religon of the united states and judging from your laws and government you ARE the ones oppressing people who are not christian and do not want to follow that religion and its rules. Patriotism only spreads more hate between different nations as it makes people think and feel superior to people with a different nationality. Remember that the reason the USA whent down the drain the last 8-10 years was not becuase of the democrats but becuase of the Republicans who are in charge.

Fundamentalist Christianity is very intolerant and oppressing by nature. History proves this. Treatment of minorities (like muslim and gay-groups) prove this. I thought Jesus wasn't about oppressing people and forcing them to live by your rules? You say socialism and tolerance is something for weaklings...so you agree selfishness, oppressing people and intolerance are sings of strengths? Socialism is a political belief that sthrives for equality and good lives for everyone. Isn't that great? People caring for each other? Socialism isn't by default bad becuase of how socialism was in the old Soviet Union.

Why do you think people are so critical of Christianity these days? Becuase the growing number of Fundamentalist Christians are no different from Radical Muslims. They whant to force other people to live by their rules and interfere with their lives. Instead of forcing people the democratic party gives people the CHOICE to live by their own moral codes or that of the bible. Jesus also does not FORCE others to live as he sees fit...as a christian you should follow his example.

Calling church goers disgraceful names (Den of vipers; Matthew 12:34), breaking church laws (Sabbath laws; Matthew 12:2), respectful of other people's beliefs (Samaritans; Luke 10:25-37), tolerant of sexually immoral acts (Prostitution; John: 3-11), telling people to drink his blood even though it is expressly forbidden in Old Testament Law (Leviticus 17:12)....would you say that the acts of Christ were more conservative or more liberal? Christ transcends political values, putting him in that box only divides His family.

It always surprises me when I see how badly hypocritical we are. We “Christians” know that it is easier for a wealthy man to walk through the eye of a needle than it is for him to get into heaven. Yet, we support a candidate who endorses the killing of thousands of innocent children every year, just because he might stimulate the economy. Senator Obama has described an unwanted pregnancy as a punishment. I think the one thing we can all agree on is Obamas contempt for infants in the womb. So why do we consistently see Christians, especially Catholics, continue to support candidates that believe it is perfectly moral to physically extract an infant from the womb for the sake of convenience?

The ever declining moral code of the democrat party has brought us such blasphemes as homosexual marriage, (which Mrs. Obama is a staunch advocate for) . They have supported indoctrinating our children into a Sodom and Gomorrah like childhood. Who are the people that have stripped the Pledge of allegiance from our academic institutions? The democrats. It is OK for schools to advise our children on subjects such as sex education, sexual tolerance, then condemn Christianity as the suppressor of all the other beautiful religions, such as Islam. But it is not OK for them to teach our children patriotism for the great country which affords these liberals the right to destroy it.

The religious hierarchy from every denomination should be ashamed, down right embarrassed and humiliated that they have not confronted wayward Christians with hard line repercussions. Churches don't prohibit their clergy from supporting liberal ideals, they even encourage their parishioners to vote for a man or woman whose ethics directly contrast to those of Jesus Christ.

Christianity is moving further from Christ, we are sacrificing our morals and values to accommodate a soulless nation of watered down weaklings. I for one will protest every church, pastor, preacher, priest and organization that continues to compromise our faith for a liberal political affiliation. It is not surprising that people are critical of the Christian faith, because we are hypocrites! The lord would rather see 10 ardent believers that practice fundamental Christianity than 1,000 Quasi liberal feel good Christians. I for one refuse to let my children grow up to be good little Marxist, which is the secret mantra of the democrats. We must fight this tooth and nail. We need to be proactive and work with each other and put some potency back into our faith, right now.

They do NOT abort their embryo's for convenience sake. It's sheer ignorance of you to claim that. It's a difficult decision for every woman. Their are many MANY reasons to abort for a woman when they are pregnant for a few days. Abortion shouldn't be abolished. You come here and claim all all these people do it for convenience sake and that abortions are ALWAYS wrong, while you do NOT know these people or the situations they are in.
