He says nothing about creating a theocracy. He is talking about electing a person who will defend religious freedom, not create a State Religion.
Sure, as long as it's the correct religion being defended...right?
If a politician were to say that, say, Muslims' rights need to be defended, that's not the same, is it?
You're fooling no one.
Liberals have such hatred for people of faith they can't gather their thoughts and calm their rage enough to have a civilized discussion on the matter and result to pure emotion.
Seeing as most liberals are people of faith, your post is idiotic. Our issue is with hypocritical conservatives who use religion as a weapon. You people behave nothing like Christians, yet use God's name at every possible opportunity to demean and oppress anything you don't like.
You are the modern day Pharisees that Jesus condemned. No question about it.
This nation was founded on Judeo-Christian values, not matter how much people want to deny it now. It is not the only pathway to democracy but it is the spin this nation took at its inception.
I would suggest that there is no such thing as "Judeo-Christian values" ... because Jewish values are somewhat different from Christian values. The large majority of Jews are voting for Obama.
Maybe we need a little more Buddhist values infused into our culture.
Obama is a positive, living threat to Judeo-Christian values and Western civilization.
How so?

I don't have to respect women who go against the church.
Mysogyny should not be part of politics or democracy.

She says she's Catholic, she's obviously single, and she's probably an academic. There are other signs, too, which I'd rather not mention. Putting it all together, helenejen may be Sister Pat Farrell herself!
Oh noooooo! Educated and single.....how horrible!!
See, this is why more and more young people are turning away from Catholicism and ridged dogmatic religions. They are more educated, and *gulp* just might want to stay single a while.

Yet, ironically, this thread was originated by pointing put Ryan's desire to do just that..to vote based on religion.

Christianity still believes it sin because of Romans 1 but when you get down to it Christianity is far more "tolerant" than Islam of homosexuality.

It drives me nuts that Conservative "Christians" always steal Judaism for their own agenda. Most Jews do not align with Conservatives. Abortion is not banned under Judaism, even though it's viewed as a last case scenario, and the overwhelming majority of Jews in the United States support same-sex marriage and gay rights.
So what Judeo values are they supporting?
I would also point out, world wide most Christians are liberal to moderate. Fundamentalism is an American invention. Aside from the huge conservative Catholic population in Italy, almost the entire 1st World's Christian population is far from Conservative.
