Wow it really does seem like the far left is in touch with America....they don't even seem to know who the majority of the population is.

Hey, truth hurts. Evangelical Christians are the American version of Afghanistan's Taliban. Those two groups have a lot more in common than they have differences.

The majority of the population are Christians, not Evangelical Christians. There's a difference--a big difference.

Do people on here really think that any of the two candidates would only ask advice from the examples they gave? Taking things a bit literally here.

Right....

"The term "evangelical," in a less commonly used sense, refers to anything implied in the belief that Jesus is the Messiah. The word comes from the Greek word for "Gospel" or "good news": ευαγγελιον evangelion, from eu- "good" and angelion "message." In that strictest sense, to be evangelical would mean to be merely Christian, that is, founded upon, motivated by, acting in agreement with, spreading the "good news" message of the New Testament."

Pretty narrow POV you got there.
Blowing themselves up in the name of their lord? If you keep it up maybe we can know how you really feel.

If he answered it as what he believes in he would shun away the majority of America.

Obama's response to the question of "evil" had much more depth to it than McCain's. Where Obama's answer was pointing to a more theological direction, McCain's was unabashedly political--a political conception that has been wholly discredited, due to it's simplistic notion of the world and world affairs.

One position is guided toward adults whereas the other position is guided towards children.

McCain blew Obama away.

You sound typical of someone that knows nothing about a relationship with Christ not Christainty. There is a huge difference. The Christian you like is the lukewarm Christian that has no commitment to living his/her life Christlike. That is where the name Christian comes from.

It is clear in the Bible how God detest a lukewarm Christian.

And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Your post is nothing more than an attempt at "hand waving." Evangelicals are biblical literalist. Most Christians don't take the bible literally. They'll view portions of the bible as metaphor and/or symbol, Evangelical Christians don't see the bible that way. Many Evangelical Christians won't even consider non-evangelicals as Christians.

All the evil he surrounded himself he saw clearly though right? Time and time against he had to clarify he stance....friend after friend taken to jail...yeah he see's evil very clearly.

Absolutely right on the money! But wasn't that mistake (decision) made once before (eight years ago) - and now we have this massive, uncontrollable deficit, an economy in shambles and a possible "100 year war".
I'd suggest that instead of the snide remarks and insults which tend to emerge after a Dem posting that *maybe* it might make better sense to really examine and look beyond the superficial nature of a candidate's position on the issues - at the implications of that position. How will it affect you and your family - your job, your finances, your future?
I didn't think it was particularly amusing either when McCain said that a person with $5 million qualified him or her as rich! In my world $250,000 would be rich- as Obama noted.. To be a future successful and effective president, a candidate needs to possess a sense of what it's like to be an average middle-class or lower-class person! Otherwise it's four more years of tax breaks for the corporations and richest members of our society!

You equated them to "Afghanistan's Taliban"

At best that's slander. Name one evangelical that pulled people from the streets into soccer stadiums for routine public deaths...

That's a far cry from someone who believes in spreading the word....So what exactly do you disagree with in a statement that say's "it's not about you"

He teaches spreading joy and happiness to yourself by giving to others....That's sounds extremist to me...
