Well, since politics is a human activity, and most humans have religious beliefs that affect their opinions and judgments and behaviour, it would seem perfectly obvious. Much of the political right's objections to abortion and same sex marriage, for instance, are essentially religiously based, just as most of the political left's focus on what it generally calls something like social justice are also rooted in religion. Think of Stephen Harper, Stockwell Day, Preston Manning... they're all serious Christians of some sort. And Tommy Douglas, by most measures the founder of legitimate leftism in this country, was originally a Baptist minister. Interesting how such fundamentally similar religious beliefs can produce such different political attitudes though.
Oops, American...
Oops, another American. Not even a politician.
Uh oh, another American
There you have it, religion in the American political landscape.
Can I ask you to define wrong for me?
And how will that happen?
Really?
Just cuz you post it twice doesn't make it Canadian, or a politician.
Likely because you suffer from the same disease SJP does.
Uh oh!!!
And what about the Liberals courting Terrorist groups? Or did you conveniently miss that ?
People put politicians in office, and that speaks to the fibber of Conservative bigotry, wake up. What more proof does one need to understand that Conservetivism is submerged in hypocritical bible thumping. American or Canadian Christianity show me where they are miles apart from each other. Many Christian youth hate Obama. Why?
You've been around the forums enough, and talked to enough moderate religious people, to know you're flat out lying right now. Gerry doesn't 'follow' the church, and is directly opposed to them on certain issues such as gay marriage. He also doesn't fit Soc's stupid assertion that he votes according to his religion, since from everything I've seen, Gerry's doesn't fit the bill as a Conservative.
Geee. People put politicians in office? That's the Conservative way? I suppose the Gliberal way preference is just straight dictatorship?
And Gliberals have their own version of morality, too. We saw some of that sort of morality with Shawinigate, Adscam, Martin's fundraising for a terrorist group, etc. ad nauseum. YOU wake up. There's just as much wrong with the Gliberal party as there is with the Cons.
Do you pray in your personal life?
Daily?
Bull. There are lots of religious people who can think quite well. It is just that they have only one fulcrum point to think from and that is that everything in the universe comes from one source.
