Katherine Harris interview
If you're not electing Christians, then in essence you are going to legislate sin

You might remember Ms. Harris from Florida 2000 elections. I wonder if Republicans still going to support her...

Here we come to the root of the disagreement. I'm not willing to compromise on social freedoms to get the economic ones. Besides, republicans have been in power for some time now and my tax burden hasn't become any lighter.

Christian(Jewish/Muslim/Buddist): a beleiver voluntarily donates some of his money to organize free food/shelter/free education in his parish.
Yeah, while he's just another believer he's donating money "voluntarily", but once that believer is elected to office he's going to vote on his values transforming his beliefs into your obligations. Isn't that what you're against? You don't like the "enlightened" elite telling you how to spend your money. I don't like the "holier than thou" elite telling me how to live. Potato, potato.. err... that doesn't work as well in print :)

Don't confuse Christian Bible with the actual doctrine. Christians today (especially those of Protestant denominations) absolutely do not beleive that they need to give away their wealth to achive salvation.

But Protestants are Protestants because their doctrine is - the Bible is the final word on everything, it's the ultimate truth, the word of god, etc. I agree with you that Protestants have long forgotten the whole eye of needle and camel thing, but that's not because their doctrine is different from what's in the Bible, it's just plain hipocrisy.

To summarize:
alcohol - good, people telling me what to do - bad, GO Patriots!

i think so, too :)
democrats want our tax money for various welfare programs (which i personally do not support, btw), but republicans are wasting tons of it on the useless, senseless, and unnecessary war, preaching celibacy in schools (they call it "war against aids and teenage pregnancy") and god knows what else.
which one is worse?
