I don't agree with this reponse, but at least you have one. Nice comeback and from your position, I can see your point.

Then you have Obama who supports late term abortion which goes against the most fundamental beliefs of the Christian religion. Fine, your opinion, it's a free country, I support your right to your opinion.........


But then I keep reading posts about praying for Obama on this eve of the election, his grandma passes away and I see the dozens of Christian haters on this forum offering prayers. I think it is great, but a bit HYPOCRITICAL don't you think?

If you're going to fight to keep Christianity out of things, keep it out of all things!

There are at least 20 of you on the other thread offering up "prayers for Obama" who attacked every single post on this forum that had to do with showing support for Palin and her Christian beliefs. You, my friends are hypocrites, signed sealed and delivered.
Someone can offer prayers and not be Christian. Or they might be a moderate Christian, and think Palin's witch doctor speaking in tongues writhing on the floor God sent us to war variety to be a bit out there. Just sayin.

Please, continue to spew out more ham-handed stereotypes, you've got nothing better going for you.
That's right. I'm no Christian, and for the most part frown on all organized religion, but I still have a relationship with a higher power.

Prayer is not reserved for only Christians. But I don't expect you to be able to see that with those blinders on.

I'm a Christian who is also an Obama supporter. I haven't been attacked by Obama supporters at all. I have, however, been attacked by other Christians who support McCain.

What an ******* post. If someone believes in something different than you do, why do you care? Oh & by the way, you're a complete & utter hypocrite w/this post right here & what your OP states. Apparently you're so blinded by "god" you don't see it. Poor you.

What are you talking about? Are you attacking my religious beliefs? I thought I was supposed to be safe from people like you in America. Remember?

Newsflash! People who vote for Obama can be religious (and even Christians) too!

WTF is wrong with you?
