Topic : A Republican presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee...

I am one of those Christians that you have mentioned.  In fact, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  The one that you refer to as Mormon.  Dont' confuse me with FLDS.  There is no relation whatsoever.  I think that Mr. Huckabee has forgotten that the constitution was set up by God fearing men with Christian values.  If you look at the original context of the constitution, it was set up with the same ideals of the Ten Commandments.  Unfortunately, we have many people (lawyers, judges, politicians, etc.) that have changed and created loopholes in the very ideals that this country was started on. for their own benefit and purposes.  This is what has created the problem.  We just need to go back to what the original constitution stood for.  There is no justice anymore.

 

I know many Christians that are "one-day-a-week" Christians.  They obviously don't live the way they are taught.  I was raised up to be a God fearing person.  I try to live as God would have me.  I am not perfect, no one is; but I try to be the best person I can be.  If all people in the world lived the teachings of Christ as taught in the King James version of the bible, (I say that because I don't think anyone has the right to change the word of God to conform to their own teachings and beliefs.) our nation and world would be a much better place.

 

If you don't go to church because of the people who live Christianity once a week, then you are missing the point of going to church.  You are hurting yourself because of other people's actions.  We go to church for ourselves and what we can gain from the teachings there.  We cannot dictate or decided how everyone is going to live once they leave church.  Sometimes I think we wish we could, because it is an embarrassment to religion in general, but that judgment has to be left up to God.  We need to go to church so that we can be reminded regularly how to be better neighbors, friends, families and examples.  There is no other way than attending church.  You don't hear teachings like that during the week in work settings or school settings.  Mind you there are a lot of churches out there that are a little whacked, but there are also a lot that have a lot of good to them.  You just haven't found the right one to make you happy.  I have, and I will never live my life without God or without attending church.  I need that constant reminder of how much He loves me and what He has done for me and my family.  No one can take that knowledge from me no matter how they live their lives outside of church.

 

If the people in this world would quit hating each other, try harder to serve each other, be kind, don't take what isn't ours, accept people for who and what they are we would have Utopia.  Of course this is an unrealistic dream, but don't tell me that these things wouldn't make a difference.  Obviously a lot of parents aren't taking the initiative to teach their children these principles now-a-days and we are creating a more selfish, uncaring, hateful generation to lead our country in the future, and people say we don't need religion?  You kick religion and a belief in God out of every aspect of our lives, it will come back to haunt the very core of our beings.

 

 

 

You know, it's offensive to me to bash Christians and grouping Huckabee with hypocritical Christians.   You're taking his philosophy out of context, just because he doesn't want to take "God" out of the pledge of allegiance or off of our money.  Christianity is a HUGE part of our history, our laws are based on Judeo-Christian values (Ten Commandments).  Or are you one of those progressives that re-write history and claim that the holocaust was a hoax?  Amazing how the people in power spin history to keep themselves in power.

 

The sad, honest-to-God truth is that the majority of the American electorate are ignorant and rely on the mainstream media to give them "the news".  Then they elect whatever smooth-talker that pretends to care about their interests and then are shocked when said smooth talker eventually back-stabs them.  Here's a hint for you:  Conservative Democrats DO NOT EXIST! 

 

Obama pretended to care about the interests of blue-collar workers in Altoona, Pennsylvania, then turned around and told wealthy San Franciscans that "they're bitter and cling to their guns and religion".  Marxist liberal a$$! 

 

Oh, and have you heard about the Black Liberation Theology garbage?    The American Thinker says it well:

 

"For the left, black liberation theology makes for close to a perfect faith.  It is a political creed larded with religion.  It serves not to reconcile and unite blacks with the larger cultural, but to keep them separate.  Here, again, The Washington Post reports that "He [Wright] translated the Bible into lessons about...the misguided pursuit of ‘middle-classness.'"

 

Not very Martin Luther King-ish.  Further, all the kooky talk about the government infecting blacks with HIV is a fine example of how the left will promote a lie to nurture alienation and grievance.  To listen to Wright -- more an apostle of the left than the Christian church -- the model for blacks is alienation, deep resentment, separation and grievance.  All of which leads to militancy.  Militancy is important.  It's the sword dangled over the head of society.  Either fork over more tax dollars, government services and patronage or else.  And unlike the Reverend Moss and his kindred, I'll specify the "else."  Civil unrest.  Disruptions in cities.  Riot in the streets.

 

Keeping blacks who fall into the orbit of a Reverend Wright at a near-boil is a card used by leftist agitators to serve their ends: they want bigger and more pervasive government -- and they want badly to run it. 

 

Barack Obama knows all this, as a seventeen year congregant at Wright's church, and as a liberal community activist prior to his election to the Illinois Senate.  That he feigns innocence, or that he professes forbearance for some of Wright's words because of the goodness of others, is not the line one expects from a post-racial politician.  It is what is expected from a man whose career is steeped in racial politics, a politics that does great harm to the very people it purports to serve. " http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/03/the_real_agenda_of_black_liber.html   Obama wants to keep African Americans down to keep himself in power, so he makes issues of race designed to get them hating whites and Jews and undoing all the good MLK stood for.         

Our laws are NOT based on Christianity. TWO commandments have ANYTHING to do with our laws...and those are pretty much "DUH" rules that pretty much every civilization has...

As for the pledge and our money? "God" wasn't put in those things until the 1950's as a lame attempt to fight communism...LOL!
