#1 Jesus would not support abortion: he who saw into the hearts of his enemies is quite capable of seeing what happens to an unborn baby when it is getting aborted.

#3 Yes, Ptah! Wasn't it Jesus who said "Whatever you do to the least of these, you do unto me."? And, I always love Medved's (devout Jew) approach to the libs who cry you're not Christian if you don't support gov't handouts.... Jesus said "Sell all you have, give it to the poor and follow me. He didn't say Sell all you have, give it to Rome and then follow me and let the Romans figure how to take care of the poor."

#4 You gotta love an organization that simutaneously declares that the government spends money frivolously, yet tax cuts are bad.

#5 Christianity has been used for centuries to futher political goals. They will be successful to a certain degree with this - just like Jessie Jackson can promote racism under the banner of civil rights. But in the end - King's word lives on and Jackson is exposed for the fraud that he is.

Stalin and Marx must be rolling over in their graves. They worked so hard to make Christianity synonymous with uncool and nut-bag. They were very sucessful doing this, mostly by ignoring Christianity as if it didn't exist - erasing it like political figures from their history books. Now the dems come along and reverse years and years of effective hard work.

I've been to these churches they study all things spiritual and philosophical - except Christianity. The DC National Cathedral is a prime example. Check out their classes and you will see Buddhism, Hinduism, tree-worship and all things EXCEPT Christianity. They talk about saving the whales. Gotta be inclusive.

Hey, go for it dems, clearly the concept of negative publicity escapes your grasp. You can't control all of the churches and in the end, lots of people will be exposed to Christ's teachings. People that would not have otherwise felt comfortable entering a church.

As for perverting Christianity for the sake of ambition, power and money, nothing new to see here.

#6 Considering the way in which the Democratic Party interprets democracy, I am not surprised that this is the way the Democrat "Christian Alliance" interprets Christianity. "Through the Looking Glass and off with the Republicans' heads" said the Mad Hatter.

#7 In my direct experience most christians support leftwing positions. This is especially true in Europe and of the established religions. It's not entirely clear to me why the media equates rightwing = religious. I consider someone like Tony Blair a 'typical' christian.

#8 A typical Euro Christian, but not a typical American Christian. The absence of an established church means there is much more variety in religious options here, and the leftish main line churches are falling into disuse as are the established churches in Euroland. But the new chruches are growing like crazy and they tend to be conservative in theology and politics.

#9 phil_b: In my direct experience most christians support leftwing positions.

I guess this would be in churches where the pastor leads the congregation. Evangelical Christians I know view the pastor as merely a prayer leader and an organizer of church functions. These people tend to be very right-wing and will not take any crap from the pastor. They keep their own (conservative) counsel on religious matters.
