Christian Liberals & Progressive People of Faith

I don't think so. As far as I can tell, I don't see the policies of the republican party aiming to hurt the defenseless.

And just so we're on the same page...by defenseless, I'm guessing and assuming you mean poor and homeless people.

And my reason for supporting the republican party is for influence on issues that I can't do anything about by myself.

And again, I'm okay wel-fare and a medical plan from the government... possibly. The medical plan is a tad scary cause of government control. However, abortion, same-sex marriage... etc etc social values are much more important to our nation. Let me try to break it down to you...

What's more important?

The WILL to help the poor and the homeless

OR

The power to help the poor and the homeless


The social value of WILLING to help the poor and the homeless is a more important and fundamental value, right?

Of course, if you don't have that social value than you don't help them even if you had the value.

That's why social values are that much more important. That's why I vote republican because social values are what change a nation, Christian social values. The kind of social values that don't wait for government to help the poor but instead go off and DO help the poor. That's why Christian rehab centers exist. That's why Christian hospitals exists. That's why Christian missionary doctors and pastors go to 3rd world countries to help people. Not Muslims, not Buddhist, not Atheists... we see that the vast majority of the time its Christians actively helping people. And that's just what we SEE, imagine what is done down to the bottom, individually. Take me for example, just this morning I noticed a young woman... probably around 20. She was pretty. I glanced at her and the truth is I lusted after her.

RIGHT THERE

I had two choices. I could let my lust lead me and go up to her and talk to her and try to seduce her for sex. (eventually)

or

I could decide to not think of her that way because of my belief in God. That God/Jesus has said that whoever looks at a woman with lust is already an adulterer at heart.

I decided to be led by God. As a result, she was no longer a sex toy to me but a young girl, a person. This is what we need. It is like that that people will NOT accept bribes and make racial divides (John 7:24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.” )

I'll leave it at that. God Bless you
