Would you rather have a POTUS with Christian values or one with "I fully support homosexuality" values?

Well, you chose - "not perfect, but always trying to improve." Perhaps this is an area that qualifies as needing improvement.

Congratulations, you are the first person here to admit he knows The Father's mind, how arrogant of you.

It's a rightist pastime. As long as they keep people hating each other, they can keep on with their Fascist agenda.

I'd rather have a President with "I fully support homosexuality" values and true Christian values, because the two are not inconsistent. It is only the fundamentalist American Ayatollahs who interpret scripture to demonize homosexuality.

So, what, you had lunch with God and Satan last week and y'all discussed this issue over the salad course?

I'm sorry you don't know what God thinks, that's pretty damn prideful and isn't that a sin? Ooops.

I want a President who cares about equal rights, religion doesn't matter and nowhere in the Constitution does it state that the POTUS must be a certain religion.

it's only prideful when someone ELSE is doing it!

Sad but true. This is one of the biggest issues I have with many Christians, do what I say, not what I do.

Whatever keeps the $$$ rolling in. HOWEVER, It's my personal opinion that anyone who attends a church that demands 10%, deserves that rip.

i would like to have a president, that has christian values, understands, supports the bible, instead of playing with fire, just to get votes to stay in for president, then turn around and let so many people down..can-not straddle the fence, might rip your pants.

How about a president that respects the citizens privacy and freedom from religion? If you don't want to be in a same sex marriage, simply don't. Expecting others to feel that way is silly. I don't like country music, should I demand that it be removed completely? I think the game of baseball is boring, should it stop being played? No.

And just so it's clear: you don't know what god thinks, you only have written word from man in a bible. Christian leaders have proven to lie in the past, their credibility is trashed.

Great metaphors.

Thank you! the biggest opponents claim homosexuality is a "choice" well, so is music or sports. I choose that those things bother me, so *poof* they must be gone! It's ridiculous when I say it, just as ridiculous when they say it. Notice, no one has any logical comment against it? because there is not logic to their opposition. Yet, they continue to oppose. Blows my mind Meliz

Mine too; such thinking is incredibly self-centered.

Its not freedom from religion. It freedom of religion. Which you liberal ass's don't seem to understand is we have that freedom due to the founders writing the Bill of Rights. Which says we are endowed by our creator( God).

can you explain the difference between from and of in that context? FREEDOM OF RELIGION MEANS ANYONE CAN PRACTICE ANYTHING THEY DAMN WELL PLEASE AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T HARM ANOTHER PERSON. Freedom from religion, freedom of religion IN THAT CONTEXT is pretty much interchangeable, ass. (you called me that, i felt it was free game to return the favor)

And, once again it is not OUR creator. It's YOUR creator. There is a big difference. Funny, you are citing freedom OF religion, yet in the same post claim simply because YOU believe in god somehow everyone must also. You do realize majority of the signers weren't even religious, right? They moved thousands of miles across a dangerous ocean, violently steal land from the Native Americans (which they oppressed TERRIBLY FYI) so they could escape the oppression from the Monarchy. Hypocrites. from the very beginning.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. When I said our, meaning I was taking God as my own in the context the discussion was about, in your reply you gave him back to me, by referring to him as Your. I take that to me he isn't your God.

i believe there is a creator, but not the defined christian god. That god, is a false idol

and yet we have such religious folk that push there views on others believing the only views that should matter are there own. sometimes aggressively.

I'm not talking about any ministers or preachers, I was referring to the Bill of Rights. Bless your little heart!

and these people want to push their own laws to overrule our bill of rights and constitution.

What people?

often more conservative minded christians, fundies even more so.

Supporting equal rights for homosexuals [and everyone else] IS the Christian value.

When did bigotry/exclusion/"I've got mine and I'm gonna make sure you don't get even the leftover crumbs" become accepted as a "Christian value" anyway?

I would rather have a POTUS who upheld the law and the Constitution, regardless of his religious affiliation.

I support tolerance and an open mind. Religion is neither tolerant nor open minded.

Don't do that - you become like them which you don't like! Blanket statements are bigotry. I'm a Christian and I support gay marriage. And I'm not a small minority.

certainly not the muslim values the current one has.

This is a no-brainer. I don't know how many ways I can say this: I don't care what the presidents religion is, and neither should you. All that matters, is whether or not he will make this country better, than it would be without him/her.
Gays are an important part of our society, just as people of other races, religions and nationalities, are. I want a president who will stand for equality for ALL Americans.

thinks homosexuality thinks it is fine (as does satan).


You don't know what god thinks, nor satan (at least I hope not, if you do you might want to get that checked out), he condems the action not the people. Although I do think Obama changed his views on homosexuality simply for votes and that is horribly wrong. Either you believe its ok or you don't, don't fake it for the cameras.

And before someone can quote the bible on me, it is flawed. Translation has more than likely changed the meaning of every damn passage in that book. You can't translate that often from that old of a language and have it be right when it comes out in english.

Also, I believe and love god so all of you who try to say otherwise are simply moronic.

Christian morals are a great starting point for everyone, but there is a limit to what each person thinks is right and you should NEVER shove it in someone else's face. Now if Romney is a good person (which I hope he is because is seems he will be the winner) then he doesn't need to have just christian morals, he needs to have good morals PERIOD. If he can't tell whats right and wrong without religion then he needs to do some serious soul searching. You don't need to attach a religion to be a good person.

...wow...some people on here are even DUMBER than I originally suspected, hence your question. Christianity, and every other religion is about control. Obama isn't promoting homosexuality, he's merely recognizing and accepting it (it isn't like it's a choice). If homosexuality is wrong, why did "god" create homosexuals (and doesn't "god" create everything??) Thank you for your hate-mongering; America needs haters, too...

I support Mr. Romney, but don't think it is right to legislate morality. My non support of a political candidate is predicated on how I think they will lead-IMO Mr. Obama has been a failure.

I would prefer the president and the government to have the values of people and to respect basic living rights. This isn't about Homosexual values or Christian values, which both have no place in the government.

The POTUS does not have to BE a Christian (neither Romney nor 0bozo are, IMO); s/he SHOULD have values in line with the founding values of this nation, though.

Christians do NOT have monopoly on those values. They've been found in every culture on earth, in one form or another.

i believe obama is a christian and i still view mormons as a christian sect.

Fine. You have every right to be wrong.

I want a leader who is here to govern all the people equally not preach a sermon based on one particular religion.
