Liberals, atheists, and pot? Oh, Jesus preserve me! Get the smelling salts I do believe I am going to faint!

Well, jesus certainly didn't hold down a regular job or bring in a regular paycheck. Also, he apparently was a breaker of both roman and jewish law.

There is also the matter of abortion

Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me.

I can see the liberal explanation now though, "but but but Jesus, the Supreme Court said it was legal."
The liberal and should be conservative view would be you choose. I don't condone it but is your choice. Not sure what the bible says about a developing fetus. I know some old school Christians believe that it wasn't life until the quickening.

Sure. Those two things are not anti socialism.

One thing I do know, liberals enjoy breaking the "laws of the land" and help people outside of America more than Americans.
I'm not surprised you liberals know so much about each-other. I've never had Pelosi talk to me about religion as I don't congregate with her type. I'm not going to judge you because you do.

Accepting Christ is a personal decision. It cannot be forced on anybody. All we can do it preach the word, in the hope that some might be saved. Acceptance or rejection of Christ is entirely up to the individual.
That is not what I mean. What I mean is when those who who force their beliefs or lifestyles upon others. People who try to make laws on the basis of religion that govern everyone (religious or not).

Christianity is not inherently left wing- I think that's just a cliché to think that you can equate Christianity with specific politics. In Europe (and even in the US), many on the left are opposed to Christianity and its influence on society. There are Christian Democrats in Europe but they are usually considered conservative or centrist, as they advocate a combination of preservation of traditional institutions combined with social welfare.

Joe Lieberman, Jewish, ran for VP and considered running for president. Mitt Romney, a Mormon, ran for POTUS. Mormonism is not part of mainstream Christianity. Mormons consider themselves different from both Catholics and Protestants.

Huh? Unitarianism IS a branch of Christianity. Just like Mormons are...

And look at the time those people were presidents. None of them recently...

Not this again! We had this discussion on the thread "Would you vote for a non-Christian president?"

Unitarianism is not a branch of Christianity. One can be a Christian and a Unitarian, but it's not a requirement. One does not have to believe in the divinity of Christ to be a Unitarian. Go over there and take a look. Mormonism is neither Catholic or Protestant; a Mormon on that thread called it "Restorationist". Both these religions, Unitarianism more than Mormonism, are outside of mainstream Christianity.

No, it hasn't been recently that a non-Christian has been POTUS. I guess Taft is the most recent (if he wasn't), 1909-1913. I'm not sure what that point is.

ETA: I just looked back, and we had some of this discussion on this very thread earlier.
