How can you vote for one party without siding with some non Christian beliefs. We all know that in politics there are two parties that are always head to head, the republican and democratic parties. Both of these sides have beliefs that I completely agree with, and beliefs that I don't. Some issues that come up are legalizing gay marriage, abortion laws, well fare, and obviously a lot of money issues. Im sure there are Christian morals that have a say in all of these topics. To start out democrats tend to side more with legalizing gay marriage and giving women more choice when it comes to aborting an unborn baby, which are both definitely against Christian morals. Then theres republicans that tend to think that well fare needs to be reduced and we need to give less to those who don't work or live strictly on government money. I don't think this follows Christian morals either because we should try to give to those less fortunate than ourselves, and although we could all use the money it seems to be just a bit selfish. One of the speakers at the lecture spoke about God's government and how it should punish evil and praise good, which is how as Christians should look at the election. Instead of sticking with one side just because you've already labeled yourself as a republican or democrats is crazy. We should figure out which candidate is in it more for the good and less for the greed.
I think that's very true, that you should look at each individual candidate rather than at their political affiliation. However, what you said about well fare: you're right that CHRISTIANS are supposed to help the poor. Does that mean it's our GOVERNMENT's job to take care of them, or should the church step up and take that role?
